Hunter Biden Launches LAPTOP Coin on Base With TRUMP Airdrop
cryptobriefing.com reports that Hunter Biden is launching a meme coin named LAPTOP on Coinbase’s Base network on September 9. The token has a total supply of one billion, with founders including Biden holding 30% under a vesting schedule. Twenty percent of the supply will be distributed to wallets belonging to people who lost money on the Official Trump (TRUMP) token.
This airdrop also extends to Hunter Biden’s Substack subscribers and a mailing list curated by journalist Andrew Callaghan. Additional portions of the supply will support charity, liquidity, and the foundation overseeing the project. The launch occurs as meme coin enthusiasm has cooled, with the TRUMP token plunging almost 97% from its peak.
TRUMP was launched shortly before Trump’s inauguration. Hunter Biden has increasingly voiced support for crypto, posting pro-crypto messages on X and making crypto-friendly remarks during interviews. He also accepts Bitcoin for his artwork. The coin ties into one of the most recognizable controversies surrounding his family.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRUMP, measured when this story was written up on 7 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
TRUMP is trading at $2.34 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 42.0%, which is lower than the 48.3% seen over the past 4 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is currently fading compared to the broader 24-hour trend, where the buy ratio sits at 49.4%. Volume delta shows net selling across all timeframes, with -$337,797 in the last hour and -$192,660 over four hours. The volume delta represents the difference between buy and sell volume, so negative numbers mean sellers are dominating. Despite this, the Cumulative Volume Delta for the 24-hour close is positive at $1,287,381, suggesting that net buying occurred over the full day despite recent hourly outflows.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.0% sits at the 60th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TRUMP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 47.9%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 49.4% slightly higher by 1.4 points. However, spot volume today was $17,325,918, which is only 0.48 times the weekly average, indicating significantly lower trading activity. The coin saw net buying on only 2 of the past 7 days. Price change over the last 8 days is -0.2%, showing relative stability despite the volume drop. Total volume delta for the week was -$7,809,396, confirming a weekly trend of net selling. This is an ordinary day for the coin in terms of price direction but unusual due to the sharp drop in volume relative to its weekly average.
