As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of market experience under my belt, I must admit that the recent surge in Trump-themed meme coins and Bitcoin is nothing short of intriguing. My first encounter with cryptocurrencies was as foreign as the Martian landscape, but the rapid evolution and integration of these digital assets into mainstream finance have left me spellbound.
On Wednesday, October 16th, forecasts from US election prediction markets are leaning heavily towards Donald Trump’s victory, with data from Polymarket indicating a surge in his chances to over 60%. This trend has sparked a significant upward movement in meme coins related to Trump, as they have seen a recent surge in popularity.
Today, the meme coin MAGA Hat, influenced by Donald Trump, experienced a significant increase of 23.8%, boosting its market value over $68.7 million. In line with this trend, other political-themed tokens also saw growth. Super Trump (STRUMP) rose by 31.9% to reach $0.0084 per token, and Doland Tremp (TREMP) went up by 20.4%, elevating its market cap to $36.1 million.
A token called Dark MAGA, symbolizing a stricter and bleak portrayal of Trump, adorned with “laser eyes,” has increased by 28%. This increase has led to an astonishing $1.75 billion in daily transactions. These substantial gains have propelled the total market capitalization of political tokens over the $853 million mark. The sentiment within the community is optimistic, as per data from CoinMarketCap.
Representative Byron Donalds, a GOP member from Florida, revealed on Wednesday his conversation with ex-President Trump about loosening the regulatory grip affecting the $2 trillion cryptocurrency sector. He implied that the antagonistic approach of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris could be a hindrance to this endeavor. In simpler terms, he suggested that Donalds and Trump are considering ways to ease regulations on the multi-trillion dollar crypto market, as they view the stance of Biden and Harris as unfriendly toward this idea.
In essence, President Trump is prepared for a comprehensive overhaul. This isn’t just about tidying up, it’s about implementing a strategic plan to bring on board individuals who have demonstrated expertise and experience within our U.S. industries over an extended period.
Bitcoin Rallhy Kickstarts Ahead of Donald Trump’s Victory
As Donald Trump appears likely to win the forthcoming U.S. elections, with the final days of the campaign approaching, Bitcoin (BTC) displays strong signs of enthusiasm, potentially leading to an increase above $70,000 in the short term.
Right now, Bitcoin’s price is surging by 13% on a weekly basis, with each coin valued at approximately $66,918. The total market capitalization stands at an impressive $1.322 trillion. Notably, Bitcoin’s trading value significantly exceeds that of US indices and gold. Recently, billionaire Stan Druckenmiller has highlighted crypto as a significant indicator suggesting that markets are anticipating a potential win for the former president.
Donald Trump has promised to make the United States a major player in the world of cryptocurrency, which has led some investors to refer to Bitcoin as a “Trump trade” due to its association with his potential re-election. This week, spot Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) have seen a surge in investments totaling over $1.4 billion. Arisa Toyosaki, co-founder of Cega, a crypto derivatives service provider, noted that the increased excitement and speculation around cryptocurrencies has led to higher volatility and an increase in Bitcoin prices. Additionally, the influx of money into Bitcoin ETFs is contributing to the current rally in Bitcoin’s price.
