Official Melania Meme (also called "Melania Meme") (MELANIA) is a meme and collectible token issued as an SPL token on Solana, a layer-1 blockchain. It launched on 2025-01-19, one day before the 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration, and is associated with Melania Trump.
The token's on-chain metadata describes it as a digital collectible expressing support for the values represented by the MELANIA symbol, while explicitly disclaiming that it is an investment opportunity, a security, or affiliated with any political entity. As of 2026-09-02, MELANIA trades with a market capitalization of roughly $105 million.
MELANIA's distinguishing feature is its direct association with Melania Trump and its release timed alongside the inauguration-linked $TRUMP token, rather than any technical or protocol-level feature. It has no fees, revenue, or product usage of its own to capture.
As of 2026-09-02, on-chain liquidity is about $9.7 million, with roughly 74,843 total holders and 24-hour trading volume near $98,800 across 215 buy and 425 sell transactions. Price has fallen roughly 98-99% from its January 2025 peak, and commentary has described Trump-family meme coins, including MELANIA, as offering perceived access to a political figure rather than technological differentiation.
MELANIA is neither a governance token nor a utility token; it functions as a speculative meme and collectible asset. Holders primarily buy, hold, or trade the token on decentralized exchanges such as Raydium and Meteora.
The project's own on-chain metadata describes it as a digital collectible expressing support for the symbol it represents, and explicitly states it is not an investment opportunity or security.
MELANIA launched via direct on-chain liquidity provisioning on Solana on 2025-01-19, with trading pools established on Raydium and Meteora rather than a traditional ICO or IDO. Deployment occurred one day before the 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration, shortly after the related $TRUMP token launched.
Stated initial allocation was Liquidity 10%, Team Vesting 35%, Treasury 20%, Community 20%, and Public Distribution 15%.
Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) is deployed as a native SPL token on Solana, a layer-1 blockchain. Solana uses Proof of History combined with Proof of Stake consensus, in which validators timestamp and order transactions using a verifiable delay function before confirming them through stake-weighted voting.
MELANIA does not run its own blockchain or independent validator set; it relies entirely on Solana's existing network infrastructure for transaction processing and settlement.
MKT World LLC, a Florida-registered company reportedly formed around 2021 and linked to Melania Trump, is named in press coverage as the entity that issues Official Melania Meme (MELANIA).
The token's on-chain metadata describes MELANIA as a digital collectible and explicitly disclaims any affiliation with a political entity or status as an investment or security.
Holder concentration is high, with the top 20% of addresses reported to hold about 77% of supply, ranking MELANIA in the 97.5th percentile for concentration risk among peer tokens. On-chain liquidity is approximately $9.7 million as of 2026-09-02.
A $57 million lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York names Meteora co-founder Benjamin Chow and Kelsier Labs' Hayden Davis, Gideon Davis, and Charles Thomas Davis, alleging pump-and-dump conduct involving MELANIA.
