With Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 US elections, the crypto enthusiasts’ daydreams have come true, as the crypto market is on the uptrend. In the last 24 hours, the global market capitalization has surged to $2.52T, and trading volume is up to $174 Billion, clearly signifying the traders’ rising interest. More importantly, most crypto coins have achieved new gains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more, but the Trump memecoins have plummeted heavily, concerning holders for its future.
Analyzing The Trump Memecoins 50% Drop
With Donald Trump’s win, the biggest impact was on the Bitcoin price, which hit an all-time high of $76,460.15. More importantly, other popular altcoins have surged to new highs, but the Trump memecoins plummeted heavily. However, it does not mean that these tokens missed the market rally. Interestingly, they were the first to jump, witnessing quite a surge.
There are four Trump coins to buy, MAGA (MAGA), MAGA (Trump), Dark MAGA (DMAGA), and Super Trump (STRUMP), and these are also the most favored by investors. However, all these had a significant rally before tanking 50% today. Here, the TRUMP token is presently trading at $2.22 despite its peak of $4.6 on November 6 after the US election result. Around the same time, MAGA recovered to $0.0002048 before falling to $0.00009533 today.
The biggest drop is in the DMAGA token price, as at one point, it surged to $0.02034, which was quite close to its all-time high of $0.0232. However, now it has dropped to $0.005401, disappointing its holders. Last but not least, the same is the STRUMP, which is now worth $0.002345 despite yesterday’s peak of $0.0084.
Overall, all the Trump memecoins had a 180 shift in the last few hours, which is not what the holders have been waiting for.
What Are The Reasons Behind All These Trump Token Dips?
As per Arkham intelligence, Donald Trump’s crypto holdings include $1.33M worth of TRUMP tokens. Many crypto analysts claim that it is a positive factor that could boost Trump-themed coins after the election win. However, instead of gains, they are facing a major decline, and the biggest reason behind this is that investors have shifted to other popular cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.
It is one of the most common trading practices, where investors flock to rising cryptos or to those that offer long-term investment benefits. This is how a dormant Ethereum whale made $30M today after returning to the market after 8 years.
With this focus shift and heavy selling pressure on the Trump memecoins after sellers took advantage of the early rally, the tokens are following a downtrend. As a result, even Donald’s TRUMP holdings are facing a 27.3% drop, and the same is true with remaining holders. However, this might be a temporary consolidation, which happened after its sudden rise past Trump’s win.
More importantly, as the market is focused on bigger cryptos, popular memecoins like these might face high volatility for the next few days. Once the selling pressure cools off, these Trump tokens might regain strength, but the consolidation might continue for now.
