Billionaire investor Mark Cuban announced on social media that he wants to create his own Meme Coin coin but will donate all proceeds to the US Treasury Department.
Cuban has mocked the rug pulling trend on social media, and he may have made the suggestion as a joke. However, this shows that the meme coin fever is spreading across all fields.
Mark Cuban Explores the World of Meme Coins
Billionaire businessman and television personality, Mark Cuban, is taking an interest in the growing meme coin space. Trump’s inauguration marked a new era for cryptocurrencies, with $2.2 billion in inflows and heightened optimism.
Since the TRUMP and MELANIA Tokens broke through the market, Cuban propose via social networks that he could also participate in this field.
“If meme coins are the way to go, maybe I’ll release one. With a difference. Same conditions as TRUMP. 20% traffic. Same release schedule. One difference. All proceeds from the sale of the coin will go to the United States Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can follow. If you want to bet, bet. But at least use it to reduce US government debt. Are you participating?” he said.
On the surface, this proposal is doable; for example, the United States Department of the Treasury accept individual donations like this with no dollar limit. Additionally, although Cuban has been critical of the industry, he still supports friendly regulation.
If Mark Cuban’s Coin Coin Meme really comes to fruition, it could happen exactly as he described.
However, Cuban’s post appears to stem from growing frustration over President Trump and his family launching a meme coin just days before the inauguration. These Tokens became billion-dollar assets overnight, surpassing long-established projects.
“The best response to this is for everyone to create their own TRUMP and MELANIA coin memes. It seems like nothing can stop you. Do it on Solana, Base, Ethereum, any Small Chain. Get money! This is the new cryptocurrency that Coinbase and others want,” Cuban posted early this morning.
Meme Coin Is Getting Extremely Dangerous
There is growing concern about the rug pull in the meme coin space today, and some commenters are concerned that Cuban may be involved.
Last weekend, figures associated with Trump performed repeated rug pulls. In one particularly egregious example, a pastor spoke at Trump’s inauguration debut a suspicious coin meme today.
A survey claims that many TRUMP buyers are completely new to the field, but this meme coin wave is large enough to reduce liquidity in other market segments.
This is a dangerous formula, as people who know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrency are entering the space in large numbers, largely relying on celebrity endorsements. This is almost a perfect situation for scammers.
Finally, Mark Cuban has never confirmed that he would release a meme coin, let alone abuse it. There have been many fake Tokens named CUBAN being spread on X (formerly known as Twitter).
In fact, he regularly criticizes this rug pull on social media, saying it is destroying the cryptocurrency’s hopes of self-legitimization. In other words, he was probably just joking, not a real offer.
In any case, the current meme coin space is very volatile and dangerous, users need to be extremely cautious.
