Websites selling official Donald Trump-themed merchandise have begun accepting Official Trump (TRUMP) payments, allowing customers to use the Solana-based meme coin to purchase watches, fragrances, and sneakers inspired by the former president.
The payments are processed through Solana Pay, a free-to-use framework built on the Solana blockchain, enabling fast and low-cost transactions.
Meme coin holders can now shop at:
- GetTrumpWatches.com
- GetTrumpFragrances.com
- GetTrumpSneakers.com
Although the merchandise is officially licensed, the websites themselves are not affiliated with Trump’s official businesses or The Trump Organization.
Crypto and Traditional Payments Available
In addition to TRUMP payments, the websites also accept Bitcoin and credit card transactions.
It remains unclear exactly when the websites began supporting TRUMP payments, as representatives for the platforms have yet to respond to media inquiries.
TRUMP Token’s Rollercoaster Ride
Official Trump (TRUMP) launched on January 19, experiencing a meteoric rise before facing a sharp downturn.
- The token briefly reached a $15 billion market cap, making it the 14th largest cryptocurrency at its peak.
- As of now, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) holds that position, with a $13.6 billion market cap, according to CoinGecko.
- TRUMP’s market cap has since plunged 60%, currently sitting at $5.5 billion.
- TRUMP is trading at $27, down 22% over the past week.
Despite the price volatility, its real-world adoption is growing as a payment and investment asset.
TRUMP Token Gains Traction Beyond Merch
The meme coin’s adoption is expanding into other industries:
- Travel website Travala, a Booking.com competitor, integrated TRUMP payments for bookings earlier this month.
- Asset manager Rex Shares filed with the SEC to launch a TRUMP-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S.
- If approved, the ETF could begin trading as soon as April, according to Bloomberg analysts.
The Future of TRUMP as a Payment Method
While TRUMP token’s volatility makes it an unpredictable investment, its use in e-commerce and travel bookings suggests a growing demand for real-world utility.
As more platforms explore integrating TRUMP payments, its role in the crypto and political finance landscape could continue to expand, making it more than just another meme coin.
