PolitiFi tokens, a category of meme coins linked to political figures, have seen a dramatic decline in value after a strong performance in the first half of 2024.
Initially, these tokens reached a peak market capitalization of $1.25 billion in early June, but their value has since dropped nearly 90%, leaving them at just $154.9 million.
The PolitiFi token trend began in mid-2023, with TRUMP leading the pack. This sector experienced growth during the Bitcoin bull run, spurred by excitement around Bitcoin ETFs. However, as the U.S. elections approach in November, the market dynamics have shifted significantly.
The leading PolitiFi tokens – MAGA (TRUMP), MAGA Hat (MAGA), Doland Tremp (TREMP), Jeo Boden (BODEN), and Kamala Horris (KAMA) – are now valued at approximately 90% below their peak levels. Despite the increased political engagement with crypto, including support from figures like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, this has not translated into improved token performance.
One reason for this downturn may be the lack of new investors entering the market. Without fresh capital, the ongoing selling pressure has dominated.
