The spike in Bitcoin price also happened after the launch of two new meme coins by the Trumps – simply named $TRUMP and $MELANIA. Trump's coin was launched on Friday, Jan. 17, with Melania's coin following a few days later. Both are based on the Solana blockchain.

The most famous meme coin is Dogecoin (DOGE), which was essentially created as a joke, but has been heavily promoted by Elon Musk. Dogecoin is also on the rise, sitting at $0.36 at the time of this writing – though it’s still only a little over half the value of its all-time-high of $0.64, which it hit in May 2021 shortly after the GameStop squeeze.
As for Bitcoin, we’ll have to wait and see if the rally continues, or if the currency settles after its latest surge.
