The meme coin project linked to Melania Trump, The First Lady, Wife Of Donald Trump has pushed even further into the crypto market. In just nine days, it has sold $MELANIA tokens and raised an extra $5.41 million. How? Through a method known as unilateral liquidity provisioning. Since it was launched, the project has drawn a lot of notice — not just for its connection to a celebrity, but also for an ambitious sales strategy that has seen it offload 31.685 million tokens for a total of 138,800 SOL — which is about $18.41 million at the time of the transaction. The latest tranche of activities occurred during the past nine days, with the team responsible for the Melania-themed cryptocurrency selling another 12.685 million $MELANIA tokens. These tokens were sold through liquidity pools, a standard maneuver in decentralized finance (DeFi), where token creators offer one half of a trading pair — in this instance, $MELANIA — while hoping that market participants will somehow enable the other half of that trading pair to be functional. In this pair’s case, that other half would be some other token or asset that individuals both inside and outside of the DeFi world are willing to trade. 自上次统计后到现在 9 天时间，特朗普老婆 MEME 项目 Melania 在此期间又通过单边流动性出售了 1268.5 万枚 $MELANIA ($5.41M)。 从 3/16 以来，Melania 项目方从 Community (社区) 跟 Liquidity (流动性) 地址累计转出 3168.5 万枚 $MELANIA 然后通过添加单边流动性的形式出售换成了 13.88 万枚… https://t.co/DCOMFOsGfz pic.twitter.com/Waihv8OzrW — 余烬 (@EmberCN) April 25, 2025 Aggressive Distribution Strategy Raises Eyebrows The liquidity and token sale strategies of the $MELANIA project have led to doubts about its long-term aims and sustainability. Instead of using a mechanism that would allow tokens to be gradually distributed to investors and that would let the investors perform market activities driven by their own incentives, the project has, day after day, week after week, and now month after month, sent a steady stream of token transfers from its Community and Liquidity reserves straight into the DEXs. From March 16 to the present, the project has operated this method to transfer and sell a cumulative amount of 31.685 million $MELANIA tokens. To date, it has received in return 138,800 SOL, which, at current market valuations, translates to approximately $18.41 million. This total, and the number of tokens sold, yields an average price of $0.581 per token. Although this may appear to be an effective method for raising funds, some people in the crypto community see it as a warning sign and advise against it. What is meant by “unilateral liquidity”? This is when a project continually sells tokens into the market in order to create the appearance of liquidity. If a project does not have sufficient demand for its token, and it is consistently selling into the market, then this is not actually a continual path to upward price movement. By all means, raise money however you can, but do not do it this way. Even with these worries, the project has found a way to spotlight itself — by both hitching a ride with Melania Trump, the erstwhile First Lady, and by raking in cash at an almost alarming speed. Melania hasn’t been making any evening news lately, but she is still very much a part of this story. Market analysts are divided on what it means. Some see it as a blatant money grab, capitalizing on today’s obsessive meme coin crypto culture. Others think it shows potential to turn into a boring, community-driven project that might actually last beyond the next bull run. At the moment, the statistics depict a project very much in active liquidation mode, busily injecting rapid liquidity and selling off reserves. Whether this strategy will secure the project a sustainable liftoff or whether it will trigger a swift market correction in the not-so-distant future is anyone’s guess. Even investors and observers are warned to tread carefully. The next steps taken by the project could substantially affect not just the price of the token, but also the mood of the market.
