A new meme coin registered a significant price surge within the past day after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Mog Coin (MOG), a new meme coin, surged by over 15% in the past 24 hours, hitting a record high of $0.0000022.
This marks the second time in less than a month that MOG has reached an all-time high.
The recent spike follows a notable event involving US presidential candidate Donald Trump, which boosted Bitcoin as well as tokens like MAGA due to Trump’s support for digital assets.
As a result, MOG capitalized on this momentum, pushing its market capitalization to $749 million.
This rise propelled Mog Coin into the top 100 cryptocurrencies, all the way to the 86th position. This however was a brief as MOG is currently positioned at #156, according to CoinMarketCap data.
