Breaking: Donald Trump's Team Moves $17M TRUMP Coins As CLARITY Act Deadline Looms

Official Trump Team Moves Millions In TRUMP Memecoin

Donald Trump’s team shifted 16.84 million TRUMP tokens worth approximately $16.91 million to three Fireblocks custody wallets today, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

“TRUMP TEAM SENT $16M TRUMP TO CUSTODY.” The blockchain analytics platform added, “The $TRUMP team just transferred $16.91M of TRUMP to 3 Fireblocks Custody addresses.”

The transfers were distributed in three wallets. First, approximately 3.555 million worth $5.5 million TRUMP tokens were transferred to an address on Fireblocks. Thereafter, the team moved 3.596 million TRUMP tokens to another address on Fireblocks. At last, 3.686 million TRUMP tokens were shifted to a third address on Fireblocks. The total of the transfers on execution was approximately $16.91 million.

Moreover, Arkham said that these wallets had previously also received TRUMP tokens. The firm asked, “These addresses have all received $TRUMP in the past, and all sent their past TRUMP to Bitgo. Are they distributing TRUMP unlocks?”

The latest movement drew attention as a big part of the token is kept under the control of the insiders. The TRUMP team has the ability to sell up to 96 million tokens, or 9.6% of the entire token supply, at the current price tag of $150 million, per crypto tools data. This figure is significant as it is about 40% of the current total token supply of 237 million.

There are currently 80% of the total supply in the hands of the insiders, and almost 670 million tokens (67%) are already unlocked. At press time, the TRUMP token was at $1.57, marking an 83% decline from its year-over-year high and nearly 98% drop from $73.43 in January 2025. According to data, there have been approximately 1 million buyers who have lost a total of $3.81 billion.

The CLARITY Act Factor In Play

The Trump coin activity on-chain comes amid digital asset legislation in Washington. Despite recognizing it wouldn’t get 60 votes required for passage, Senate Majority Leader John Thune is trying to get the CLARITY Act to the floor prior to the August recess.

As CoinGape reported previously, Thune said, “I would like to at least get Clarity started. We’ll see where the votes are.” The bill passed the House in July 2025 and passed the Senate Banking Committee the following month with a vote of 15-9 in May 2026. However, the bill still needs to gain about seven Democratic votes to pass and key issues of contention remain: ethics rules and consumer protection.

The ethics provisions crackdown on Donald Trump’s crypto businesses like the TRUMP meme coin. Hence, the recent onchain movement has sparked discussions on the Internet.
