- Canary Capital seeks ETF approval, spotlighting politics-driven crypto speculation
- $TRUMP token trades near $8.32 with resistance at $8.45 and support at $8.10
- Technical signals show cautious sentiment as volume dips and RSI steadies near 45
Canary Capital has taken a bold step into the controversial world of political meme coins, filing for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to the Trump meme coin ($TRUMP).
The move highlights the growing appetite for unconventional crypto products, especially those driven by cultural narratives rather than underlying technology. If regulators give the green light, the ETF could soon provide investors with a regulated avenue to gain exposure to the volatile token.
What Is the TRUMP Token and Why Is It Controversial?
The $TRUMP token debuted just before President Trump’s inauguration in January and quickly spread across online communities. Social media fueled its early rise, while major exchanges rushed to list it far quicker than other meme coins.
Its direct connection to a sitting president has sparked intense debate, with critics pointing to potential conflicts of interest. The White House has dismissed these claims, insisting that the President’s assets are held in family-managed trusts. Still, Canary Capital sees a clear opportunity to package this internet-driven hype into a structured financial product.

How Is the TRUMP Coin Price Reacting?
At press time, $TRUMP was trading near $8.32, marking a 1.19% daily decline. The coin faced resistance around $8.40 to $8.45, where repeated rejections occurred during intraday trading. A stronger barrier sits near $8.78, the opening level.
On the downside, support remains at $8.20, followed by $8.10, the session low. Breaking below that level could expose the psychological $8.00 mark.
Trading volume fell 4.62% to $462 million, hinting at weakening momentum. The coin carries a market cap of $1.66 billion with a fully diluted value exceeding $8 billion, underscoring dilution risks if more tokens unlock.
Technical indicators reflect cautious sentiment. The MACD shows lingering bearish pressure but narrowing gaps suggest potential stabilization. Meanwhile, the RSI hovers near 45, indicating neither extreme buying nor selling conditions.
