Key Highlights
- Trump ordered the release of government files on aliens, UAP, and UFOs, citing public interest after Obama’s podcast confirmation of extraterrestrials.
- The “Aliens are real” token, launched February 15 on Pump.fun, surged 100X from $0.00005 to $0.002 in 24 hours, with market cap up 8,000% to $2M and volume at $5.9M.
- The meme coin was launched days before Trump’s viral post; a Pump.fun comment predicted alien posts on X hours prior, sparking insider knowledge theories at politics-crypto intersection.
The U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Alien Files” announcement has sent shockwaves through both conspiracy circles and cryptocurrency markets, with a fledgling meme coin dubbed “Aliens are real” exploding 100X in value.
The meme coin, launched just days ago on February 15 on Pump.fun, saw its price rocket from a humble $0.00005 to highs of $0.002 within 24 hours. The spike pushed its market capitalization up by a staggering 8,000% to around $2 million.
The trading volume for the meme coin hit $5.9 million in the same period as speculators piled in amid the extraterrestrial hype following Trump’s bombshell announcement on declassifying government files related to aliens, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and UFOs.
In this event, what’s eye-catching is the meme coin’s age. The token was launched days before Trump’s announcement. One commenter on Pump.fun quipped, “only time til trump tweets about aliens,” hours before the president’s Truth Social share went viral, racking up millions of views and sparking a frenzy of memes and debates.
Trump’s “alien files” announcement
Trump’s directive ordered the Secretary of War and relevant agencies to release long-held secrets on otherworldly encounters. The announcement cited “great public interest” and referenced former President Barack Obama’s recent podcast remarks affirming the existence of extraterrestrials.
Crypto traders quickly drew lines between the timing. The coin’s anonymous creators appear to have anticipated the buzz, dropping the token mere days before Trump’s reveal.
With Trump’s post igniting global chatter, the “Aliens are real” token embodies the wild intersection of politics, pop culture, and digital speculation.
