As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed many trends come and go. However, the recent buzz surrounding Dogecoin (DOGE) as a potential ‘Trump Victory’ trade has piqued my interest.
Key influencers within the cryptocurrency industry believe that Dogecoin could be significantly boosted if Donald Trump wins the upcoming U.S. elections. Andrew Kang, head of Mechanism Capital, voiced his thoughts on this topic via X. In essence, Kang suggested that a strategic approach to betting on a ‘Trump Victory’ might involve investing in DOGE (along with other meme-based cryptocurrencies).
As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the prospect of a Doge ETF becoming a reality. Moreover, if Donald Trump wins another term, he has proposed that Elon Musk could lead a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This department would focus on conducting a thorough audit of federal finances and performance. If Trump wins, this commission could potentially make headlines weekly and remain in the spotlight for several months.
Imran Lakha, an experienced options trader with twenty years under his belt, agreed with Kang’s views. He referred back to their conversation with Raoul Pal from last week, saying they had delved deeper into this very subject then.
Why Dogecoin Could Be The Top ‘Trump Victory’ Trade
Raoul Pal, who helped establish Real Vision Group and Global Macro Investor (GMI), as well as being a former head of hedge fund sales in equities and equity derivatives at Goldman Sachs, discussed the characteristics of memecoins like Dogecoin during a podcast. He explained that while Bitcoin has a complex history and narrative to understand, memecoins are simpler and less intimidating for younger investors, such as those aged 25 years old, due to their straightforward nature of rising based on internet memes.
Pal pointed out the attraction of memecoins for younger investors, crediting it to their simple appeal of potential profits. “It’s about following a trend,” he clarified. “Don’t dismiss them based on your experience in traditional financial markets. They understand that these investments are temporary and risky, but they’re using attention as a form of short-term gambling. They’re betting on how long the attention lasts and how valuable it becomes, aware that it won’t be permanent.
He also emphasized the past successes and trends of Dogecoin. “In its previous cycle, Dogecoin reached a market cap of $100 billion. This suggests a lot of potential for many investors. People often overlook the fact that the Dogecoin chart is an impressive weekly display,” Pal pointed out. “When I examine the weekly chart of [DOGE], it shows a significant pattern for several years – a series of rising wedges followed by spikes. This pattern is almost artistic, making the chart itself a sight to behold. Therefore, I am bullish on DOGE.
Pal proposed that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, might have deliberately stayed quiet on Dogecoin lately. He hypothesized that Musk, who has associated himself with Trump, could be tactically steering clear of disagreements with the Biden-Harris administration because “Elon can only engage in a limited number of conflicts at once.” Meanwhile, he suspects that Musk may intend to incorporate Dogecoin into X (presumably another project or organization) after Trump is re-elected.
The individual expressed his thoughts about Elon Musk’s strategic moves: “I believe he’d rather avoid the confrontation, but I still anticipate it will occur. That’s why he seems friendly towards Trump, isn’t it? Because if he remains friendly enough with Trump and Trump gets elected, then that fight might be less challenging for him.
Pal proposed an idea about incorporating Dogecoin into popular platforms such as X, which could potentially transform worldwide transactions. Essentially, he suggested that if we were to utilize Dogecoin as the currency on platforms like Twitter, it would enable us all to make DOGE payments. However, he pointed out that there’s a significant challenge in dealing with government regulations when managing a platform of 500 million users and introducing a new currency onto it.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.12512.
