By Elizabeth Howcroft, Rae Wee and Michelle Conlin PARIS/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's new crypto token soared to more than $10 billion in market value on Monday, while enthusiasm over his crypto-friendly administration helped briefly lift bitcoin to a new record.

As Trump becomes the 47th president, his entry into the cryptocurrency space through meme tokens marks an unprecedented intersection of power and digital assets.

Donald Trump has ventured further into the crypto world with the launch of Official Trump (TRUMP), a Solana-based meme coin. Announced just days before his second-term inauguration, the TRUMP token blends meme culture, politics, and blockchain into one eye-catching package.
