币界网报道：Political Memecoins Surge 99% Ahead of June 2025 Elections as Crypto Traders Bet on Market Volatility The memecoin sector linked to political figures and events has surged 99% in May 2024, outpacing major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as traders anticipate heightened market volatility around the June 2025 U.S. presidential election and other global political events. Key political-themed tokens such as TRUMP (MAGA), BODEN, and KAMA have seen explosive growth, with TRUMP hitting a $1.2 billion market cap. Analysts attribute the rally to speculative trading and the historical pattern of memecoins outperforming during election cycles. "Political memecoins act as a proxy for trader sentiment," noted a CoinGecko researcher, pointing to similar surges during the 2020 U.S. election. The trend extends beyond U.S. politics, with tokens like MACRON (France) and KIM (North Korea) gaining traction. While some view these assets as high-risk gambles, others argue they democratize political engagement through decentralized speculation. Exchanges report surging volumes, though regulators warn of potential pump-and-dump schemes. The memecoin frenzy underscores crypto's evolving role as a barometer for geopolitical trends.
