TRUMP Drops 5.48% Amid Trump Digital GOLD Confusion

The OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) token dropped 5.48% amid confusion over a separate 'Trump Digital GOLD' token, which was later disowned. The GOLD token's collapse and denials caused volatility in TRUMP, including a 10% pump to $3.06 and a drop to $2.70, with $13.5 million in liquidations. New TRUMP futures on Coinstore and negative social sentiment likely amplified the price swings.
