Remember when everything changed?

Exactly one year ago, a sitting U.S. president released a memecoin called $TRUMP—and the entire crypto landscape shifted in ways we're still watching unfold.

That moment wasn't just a headline. It fundamentally altered how the world sees digital assets and memecoins. What started as an unexpected move became a watershed moment for cryptocurrency adoption and market dynamics.

The reverberations? Still echoing through trading floors and portfolios today. Crypto's "normal" was never the same after that.

ngl I really didn't expect the president to directly jump into meme coins... Looking back now, it was a crazy turn of events.

Haha, who would have thought three years ago? Looking back now, that moment was truly a watershed. We've all witnessed history through this cycle theory. It's been a year, and I'm still digesting this impact... Actually, the coins I lost more than this news have changed my understanding of the market even more. The joke about the US president issuing a coin could last three years, and probably future textbooks will have to revise that. Mainstream coins are all changing their rhythm, and this is the real point of adoption explosion. People will always remember that moment; from then on, memecoin is no longer a joke.

Still bragging after a year? To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but it ended up changing the game rules.
