Call it a Trump card: after a 12-hour shutdown, TikTok came back online for US users yesterday after President Trump said he’d issue an exec order to extend the ban-or-divest deadline. But as of yesterday evening, TikTok wasn’t available in Apple’s and Google’s app stores, and its fate in the US remains unclear.
In a surprise move on Friday, Trump launched a meme coin that briefly hit a $70B market cap (and was followed by a Melania meme coin). Stock-market futures rose yesterday as Trump was sworn in while the market was closed in honor of MLK Day.
