PoltiFi tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) inspired by former President Donald Trump took flight as the GOP nominee gained the upper hand in key battleground states.
What happened: Maga, the largest of all Trump-themed coins, shot up 21% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $185 million, according to CoinGecko.
Doland Tremp, parodying the former president’s name, swelled nearly 40%, while Maga Hat ballooned to 21%.
Interestingly, despite having a lower market cap, MAGA clocked higher trading volume than TRUMP.
| Cryptocurrency | Gains +/- | Price (Recorded at 8:23 p.m. ET) |
| Doland Tremp (TREMP) | +39.6% | $0.4114 |
| Maga Hat (MAGA) | +21.1% | $0.0001982 |
| Maga (TRUMP) | +18.4% | $4.11 |
| Trump 47 (47) | +11.2% | $0.01437 |
In contrast, Kamala Horris (KAMA), a coin themed around Vice President Kamala Harris, tumbled over 13% in the last 24 hours.
Trump's NFT collections also received a boost. The latest of his digital cards, "America First Edition," saw its floor price increase 5% in the last 24 hours, according to NFT Price Floor.
The "Mugshot Edition," launched in Dec. 2023, was up 2.94%.
For the uninitiated, the floor price of an NFT is the lowest price at which an NFT in a collection can be purchased. It’s a key metric for buyers to understand the market value and accessibility of a collection.
The spike in Trump-associated cryptocurrencies came as the Republican hopeful won the red states of Kentucky, Florida and Indiana, and was leading in the swing state of Georgia as of this writing.
