Is the "Trump $1 coin" presale real? No: Binance hasn't listed it, and the presale site is three days old

Update, 20 October 2026, 10:00 AM ET: the site still loads, and the presale wallet is still taking SOL. From 4:30 PM ET on 19 October to 9:33 AM ET today, 14 wallets sent it 35.3 SOL in 16 transfers of 0.05 SOL or more (the latest). In the same period it sent out 34.05 SOL, including 31.6 SOL at 6:10 AM ET today to the same wallet that got 14 SOL from it on 19 October. Don't send SOL to it.

Is the "Trump $1 coin" presale real? No. Since about 1 PM ET on 19 October, accounts on X with up to about 392,000 followers have posted the same pitch: "#Binance announced Donald Trump's $1 listing & Presale ends in few days!", or in a second version, "Donald Trump has launched his coin, “ DOLLAR COIN ” ( $1 )". Each links an "Official Presale" at 1dollartrump[.]com and a Telegram group, with a different Telegram link in each post. Binance's new-listing announcements, which we read at 4:55 PM ET, list no such coin. Don't send the site any SOL.

The name borrows a real story. On 15 October, Polymarket's account posted that a U.S. Treasury official "encourages Americans to buy rolls of Trump $1 coins"; that's about physical dollar coins, not a crypto token.

The site is new. Its domain was registered at 5:22 AM ET on 16 October, per the .com registry, through the registrar Gransy. Its code, which we read as text without running it, tells buyers to "Send SOL to the wallet below", promises 20,000 tokens per SOL, and says the tokens "arrive by themselves". The wallet it gives is Hxh8…kadT. That same wallet created the token the site shows, $1 TRUMP, on 17 October and received all 1 billion of it. The token has no trading pool on DexScreener, and Jupiter reports it as not tradable, so there's no market we found where a buyer could sell it.

SOL is going in and being moved on. From 6:09 PM ET on 18 October to 4:30 PM ET on 19 October, 35 wallets sent the presale wallet 18.15 SOL in 43 transfers; in the same period it sent out 19.9 SOL, including 14 SOL to a single wallet at 11:34 AM ET on 19 October. The site's own counter claims 54.94 SOL from 99 buyers; that number is the site's, not ours.

If you already sent SOL, it can't be pulled back: a transfer on Solana is final. Be careful with anyone who replies offering to "recover" it; recovery offers are a common second scam aimed at people who just lost money.
