1 min. readFollowing an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the price of the Ethereum-based MAGA memecoin (TRUMP) skyrocketed by over 30%. The market capitalization of TRUMP surged from $293 million to $469 million within 45 minutes. Additionally, other Trump-themed memecoins like Solana-based Tremp (TREMP) and MAGA Hat (MAGA) also saw significant price spikes. Despite the incident, Trump emerged unharmed and even saw a boost in his predicted odds of winning the upcoming election on the Ethereum-based prediction market Polymarket. Trump's evolving stance on cryptocurrencies, from calling Bitcoin a scam to promising to end the Biden administration's 'war on crypto,' has caused a stir in the crypto community. This event has exposed a sudden rift among Democrats months before the election.
