Trump Sparks $BIG Token Boom: Price Surges 19,000% After Truth Social Post

Yesterday, December 6, Trump published a post on Truth Social with the tag "$BIG", which caused an immediate frenzy among investors and "SmartMoney". The new Solana-based token with the same name $BIG experienced a rapid price increase of approximately 19,000% before transitioning to a correction.

Trump's post appeared at 20:14 GMT+2. Just a minute after publication, mass purchases of the token began. SmartMoney – experienced investors and "smart wallets" that track market trends - quickly reacted, elevating $BIG to the top in purchases. By 21:09, the token led the sales ranking among SmartMoney, which led to a quick price correction.

Analysis of data from DexScreener shows that the token was created approximately 8-9 hours ago (as of the morning of December 7), with a current price of $0.0002259, market capitalization of $222K, and 24-hour trading volume of $1.7M. This indicates significant interest: over 21,000 transactions, of which 11,670 are purchases. Liquidity stands at $49K, and the fully diluted value (FDV) is $222K. Such indicators point to a classic "pump and dump" scenario, where initial enthusiasm is replaced by selling.

Although direct confirmation of Trump's post on Truth Social could not be obtained due to limited access, discussions on X and crypto platforms like gmgn.ai confirm the connection to the president's tweet. Some traders link $BIG to other tokens like $WORTH, which were also mentioned by Trump.

This incident fits into the broader context of Trump's involvement in cryptocurrencies. Earlier in 2025, he supported the $TRUMP token, leading to similar price surges, and Truth Social expanded into the crypto sphere, including plans for its own tokens and strategic reserves. Experts warn about the risks: meme coins associated with politicians are often volatile and prone to manipulation.

Investors are advised to conduct their own analysis (DYOR) before investing, as such events can be speculative.
