Trump Digital Gold Rug Pull (September 2026)
Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
Summary
Trump Digital Gold (GOLD) was a Solana-based token that launched in late August 2026 via a compromised or malicious 'Real Trump Coins'-linked X account (@realtrumpcoins1) and website, falsely implying Trump family or Trump Foundation backing. The token's market cap briefly reached roughly $60-66 million before insider wallets controlling the large majority of supply dumped their holdings within minutes, collapsing the price by approximately 98-99% and leaving buyers with heavy losses. Real Trump Coins publicly denied authorizing the token and blamed 'third-party bad actors'; no regulator has yet named a responsible party or opened a confirmed public enforcement action.
