The immediate impact of Justin Sun's tweet on the trading of TRUMP and WLF underscores the significant influence of public figures on cryptocurrency markets. The 60% surge in TRUMP's price within two hours suggests a high level of market sensitivity to perceived endorsements or associations with influential figures like Donald Trump. The trading volume data further corroborates this, with TRUMP's trading volume increasing fivefold immediately after the tweet (Source: CryptoCompare, January 22, 2025). For WLF, the 20% price increase and quadrupled trading volume indicate a similar, albeit less pronounced, reaction (Source: CoinGecko, January 22, 2025). These movements highlight the importance of monitoring social media for potential market-moving events, especially in the volatile cryptocurrency space.
