There has been a surge in crypto market trading activity after the launch of the Official Trump ($TRUMP) and“Official Melania” (MELANIA) meme tokens. The Trump family launched these meme coins, which reached billion-dollar valuations within 48 hours.

According to CoinGecko data, TRUMP reached $70 billion in fully diluted valuation (FDV) before dropping to its current valuation of $41 billion following a market correction. The same data shows that MELANIA has an FDV of $5.62 billion.

Hyperliquid's perpetual DEX allowed traders to speculate on these meme coins using leveraged positions. Despite the surge in trading volume, the platform hasn't been reported to have any issues.

Despite being a newcomer compared to other established DeFi networks, the protocol became popular for building its DEX on its own layer 1 platform. It also airdropped over $1 billion of its native token (HYPE) to early adopters and staked 300 million of these tokens across 16 validators.
