Cuban Calls Out On New Meme Coins

Meanwhile, it’s noteworthy that these comments on meme coins come against the backdrop of broader discussions revolving around the newly launched TRUMP token. CoinGape reported that Mark Cuban slammed TRUMP coin‘s dynamics, undermining its credibility.

Further, Cuban said in another post, “If meme coins are the way, maybe I’ll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as TRUMP.” This statement has further set off market discussions as the so-called twist will be that all revenue from sales of the token will go to the U.S. Treasury, per Cuban. Nevertheless, the saga has altogether garnered significant attention toward the Shiba Inu coin.

The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.00001968 and $0.00002194, respectively. Despite Mark Cuban’s appraisal, the meme coin waned against the backdrop of the broader sector’s movement.
