What to know : The TRUMP token, the official memecoin tied to President Donald Trump, fell about 5 percent as Trump Mobile said its long-delayed T1 handset will begin shipping next week. The T1 phone, sold by Trump Mobile, is a rebranded device likely based on an existing HTC model, with manufacturing details still unclear and only final assembly confirmed to take place in the United States. The latest price drop suggests investors see the T1 launch as another Trump-branded product struggling to sustain interest, with the TRUMP token already down nearly 90 percent from earlier levels.
The TRUMP token, the official memecoin of U.S. President Donald Trump, is down 5%, according to CoinDesk market data, as Trump Mobile announced the long awaited T1 handset is set to begin shipments next week.
As CoinDesk previously reported, neither the Trump Mobile project nor the President's memecoin has gone particularly well. Shipment dates for the handset have been repeatedly delayed — and customer support is limited — while the TRUMP token is down nearly 90%.
Another question is, what exactly is the T1 Phone? Trump Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator and doesn't have the ability to design and manufacture its own handset. Instead, it has worked with an outside company to pick a handset and re-skin it to be Trump themed. This kind of arraignment is common; Solana re-skinned the Osom OV-1 for its first Saga phone.
The Verge got its hands on one of the T1 Phone handsets last month, and concluded that it "sure looks a lot like an HTC U24", a handset that came out in 2024.
Exactly what company is manufacturing the Trump phone is unclear, as neither HTC nor Trump Mobile would give an answer to The Verge. Trump Mobile has previously confirmed that its phones have final assembly in the U.S. but originate overseas.
For buyers, the shipment update means the T1 may finally move from political merch concept to shipped consumer product.
For TRUMP holders, the 5% drop suggests the market is treating the phone less like a catalyst and more like another Trump-branded product trying to prove there is still demand after the first wave of hype.
