When the US Presidential election concluded with Trump’s victory, you’d think that the politico mania would end as well, right? Well, get ready to be surprised.
The OG politicoins
Of course, the main politicoins traders looked at where the ones affiliated with Trump or Harris, like:
MAGA
You’d think the “classic” Trump-themed politicoin would multiply in price many times its ATH after he won the election in the landslide. And yet, while it peaked the day after the election, it didn’t even reach the high of a couple of weeks prior, and then proceeded to plummet. With Trump speaking a lot about crypto, one would think that speculators expected $MAGA to soar. But this does not appear to be the case.

KAMA
It should surprise no one that the politicoin associated with Harris has dropped off to basically zero. It is astonishing that it’s even trading at this point. At this point, it’s hard to imagine Kamala Harris becoming relevant again in the world of memecoins or politics.

VANCE
The memecoin associated with the future Vice President shot up in value after his nomination, then dropped into obscurity until the month leading up to the election, after which time it… fell right back into obscurity.

All in all, the expected politicoins did not do well after the election, instead dropping into obscurity before even all the states were called.
BODEN
Surprisingly, the memecoin most associated with Biden during the election campaign has actually shot up in price after the election. Maybe some people miss him? Maybe some think he’ll seek reelection in 2028? Part of the fun of speculating on memecoins is that they can really surprise you.

The new politicoins
With the politicoins formerly holding the spotlight no longer that relevant for massive gain potential, which ones are taking their place?
WLFI
The World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency supposedly backed by Trump’s family isn’t trading yet, so it’s still a Pandora’s Box. Will it moon once listed? Or will Trump come up with some random new coin to push? Would be fun to speculate on some names (or even create them, if you’ve got the foresight and moxy to do so). Maybe MAGAA (Make America Great Again Again) or TBAG (Trump Back — America great)? In any case, WLFI may heat up once fully listed. So mark its listing page just in case.
ELON
With Elon Musk putting so much money into Trump’s reelection campaign and then getting appointed into government office, you just know that any crypto associated with him is bound to get attention. And sure enough, soon came the price spikes.

There are many Elon-related memecoins, so careful snipers could snipe some quick profits with the right timing. But there is one Elon Musk-affiliated crypto that stands above all others. You know what it is.
DOGE
Musk is famous for pumping DOGE by just simply joking about it. And, well, he did it again. When it was announced that Musk would co-head a new government agency tasked with curbing government waste, Musk wasted no time calling it the Department Of Government Efficiency. Hmm, what does that spell? Not surprisingly, DOGE immediately did this:

Given Musk’s history of pumping DOGE and his ability to move markets thanks to his ownership of Twitter, complete lack of verbal self-restraint, and upcoming government position of power, DOGE may see very interesting times ahead, especially given the dedicated army of fans both the memecoin and Elon Musk himself have.
A cautionary tale
Be careful when jumping on the bandwagon of any politicoin, especially a new one. While Elon-affiliated memecoins are booming, not everyone is doing as well.
For example, Vivek Ramaswamy is expected to be named co-head of the D.O.G.E agency alongside Musk. Which immediately created not one but two identical politicoins about him. These two coins have another thing in common: identical tanking of the price.

Not all hype will turn into profit. Sniping politicoins is a skill that needs to be honed with enough experience, patience, quickness of decision-making, and — perhaps most importantly — the right tools for the job. You can use advanced sniping bots like the Noti Crypto Sniper Bot to see the token’s popularity, get in and out quickly (even a downwards trending price has its tiny, quick upswings), and be protected against rugpulls by shady teams or front-end attacks by fellow snipers.
Remember: you don’t have to sweep all these swing politicoins. Just make smart, measured plays in the ones that make sense. And try to anticipate the opportunity using the likes of the Noti Sniping Platform.
