Crypto markets have suffered noticeable pullbacks following September 10’s highly anticipated presidential debate.
In the wake of self-proclaimed ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump’s performance, scales have tipped in favor of Kamala Harris, with prediction markets illustrating renewed support for the Democrats.
Crypto Markets Tumble as Republican Confidence Wanes
The presidential debate had a resounding effect on the digital asset market. Following the event, $SOL price has dropped 5.1%, sliding from September 10’s high of $137 .9 to currently trade hands at $130 .84.
Beyond asset prices, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index also dropped from a neutral 46.72 to a fearful ranking of 31.6.
The crypto market’s slide is expected to be due to the wider industry’s assumption that a Trump presidency will be favorable for the blockchain industry.
Commentators argue that Trump’s pro-crypto stance will greatly benefit the sector, with many analysts proposing that the approval of a spot SOL ETF hinges on a Republican victory. Meanwhile, some Solana community members expressed that regardless of who emerges triumphant in November, it will make little difference.
Over the past four years, the Biden administration has loomed large over the crypto industry. Gary Gensler and the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchanges Commission) have been widely criticized by the crypto community for their regulation-by-enforcement approach, which has seen the agency hand out a litany of lawsuits to crypto businesses throughout its time in office.
Volume Spikes on Drift Protocol’s Prediction Market
While Trump and Harris clashed heads on camera, traders took their chance to hit the prediction markets. Drift Protocol’s BET platform, a marketplace enabling users to trade the outcomes of real-world events, enjoyed an impressive surge of trading volume during the debate.
According to Dune Analytics, Drift Protocol’s BET protocol witnessed over $851k in daily trading volume. While falling short of market leader PolyMarket’s $14M daily volume, BET’s dramatic volume spike represented a 1,287% increase over the previous day’s trading.
According to BET’s dedicated market, Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election dropped from 54.2% to 49.5% since the debate began.
$TREMP Down, $KAMA Up
Finally, the landmark debate sent waves of volatility through Solana’s PolitiFi memecoin economy.
Unfortunately for $TREMP holders, crypto markets rejected the Presidential hopeful’s debate performance. $TREMP price crumbled under increased selling pressure, plunging 28% from.19 to currently exchange hands at.135, based on Step Finance data.
Meanwhile, the Kamala Harris-inspired $KAMA saw renewed support. $KAMA surged over 34%, rising from 0.007 to currently trade at.0094. Despite $KAMA’s superior performance, the memecoin still has a smaller market cap ($8.3M) than its PolitiFi rival $TREMP ($14.2M).

The weekend’s shock assassination attempt on Donald Trump provided plenty of ammunition for Solana’s PolitiFi meme market.
Which coins lived to see another day onchain??
Always willing to make light of any serious situation, the crypto community wasted no time trading memes while U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump was escorted off stage. While Trump was able to brush off the blow, the same can’t be said for all PolitiFi meme coins.
- The unofficial token of Solana’s Trump advocates, $TREMP Spikes 76% But Couldn't Find Support.
- While $TREMP surged off the back of the event, $BODEN faltered. Directly following the attempt on Donald Trump, $BODEN dropped by as much as 29%, forming a local bottom at.028.

Is the $DJT memecoin actually connected to Trump?
The Solana memecoin reportedly launched by Trump's teen son Barron is mooning, but is it real?
Our analysis 👇
- Unverified Report and Market Impact: Tech, politics, and culture publication
PirateWires posted yesterday on Twitter claiming Donald Trump is launching a token named DJT. Following the post, DJT's trading volume hit $363M in the past 24 hours, and its price surged 385%.
- Speculative Connections and No Confirmation: The report suggested Trump's son Barron, a claim further substantiated by (supposedly) Barron’s best friend, Bo. However, the Trump campaign and organization have not responded.
- Suspicious Posting and Unlocked Liquidity: The contract address was shared in replies to the Pirate Wires post, which, upon analysis, showed DJT's liquidity is not locked, a significant red flag for memecoins, and that the token had a “build-the-wall” feature that could be activated to halt trading.
- KuCoin Funding and Limited Visibility: Further potential red flags come from the fact that the token was funded from kucoincom
, which is inaccessible to U.S. citizens. Also, DJT pools had minimal liquidity visibility on platforms like dexscreener
, working correctly only on specific tools like Dextools.
- Concentration and Trump's Silence: The top owner holds 67% of the supply, a high risk of manipulation. Despite his reputation, Trump has not claimed or bragged about the coin's success, which is unusual for him.
Bankless Take:
The DJT memecoin's surge certainly exhibits all of the hallmarks of a classic crypto grift. The sketchy nature of the source, suspicious dissemination of the contract address, unlocked liquidity, KuCoin funding, limited visibility, and high owner concentration are all significant red flags.
All that said, we don't know for sure one way or the other. In a new era of celebrity memecoins, it's not unreasonable that Trump would be dissatisfied seeing unofficial tickers like $TREMP pump without him getting a take. Further, Pirate Wires is operated by the CMO of venture fund Founders Fund which is run by Trump's close 2016 Silicon Valley ally (and outspoken BTC bull) peterthiel
