Steven Steele, director of marketing for the TRUMP token, said that when the team applied to Kraken, a US crypto exchange, to list the token in mid-May, they never received a reply. But Kraken recently launched a tongue-in-cheek replacement, TREMP, and a Biden-themed token, BODEN, which corresponds to TREMP. The exchanges that refused to include Trump on the list for political reasons showed an embarrassing level of cowardice, and also turned a deaf ear to the current Meme coin landscape and their own customers, Steele said. Other trading platforms have told the TRUMP token team that their token is too political to go live, as it could pose potential political risks to centralized trading platforms.
