- Super Trump (STRUMP) experiences a 1469% growth after the Republican primaries, standing out in the cryptocurrency market.
- BODEN, inspired by Joe Biden, surprises with a 2841% rise in Asia, reflecting its growing popularity.
Amid this dynamic backdrop, the aftermath of Super Tuesday has triggered a notable trend in the cryptocurrency market, particularly with the emergence of meme coins named after high-profile political figures, such as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
This surge is not just a fleeting moment, but marks a unique intersection of finance, technology and cultural zeitgeist, especially prevalent in the Solana blockchain ecosystem.
The Solana blockchain has become fertile ground for developers to create and launch meme coins. These tokens, often inspired by public figures such as Elon Musk, Kanye West and Donald Trump, take advantage of the viral nature of internet culture, mixing humor with investment and speculation.
Among them, the Super Trump (STRUMP) and MAGA (Make America Great Again) coins have attracted a lot of attention. STRUMP, in particular, has seen a staggering 1469% rise in the last week alone, demonstrating the coin’s rapid acceptance and the speculative enthusiasm surrounding Trump-themed investments in the wake of the unfolding GOP primaries.
On theflip side, we see BODEN, a meme coin inspired by President Joe Biden, making a splash . With a meteoric rise of 2,841% on a Wednesday morning in Asia on Raydium’s DEX, BODEN underscores the vast and sometimes unpredictable nature of meme coin markets.
BODEN/SOL reflects a growing trend in which investors are avidly capitalizing on digital assets related to current events and popular characters, despite the risks inherent in such volatile investments.
The appeal of meme coins lies in their potential to generate large returns, driven by their viral nature and the speculative frenzy they can unleash. However, this comes with considerable risks, including susceptibility to market manipulations such as carpet-pulling and exit scams.

A recent example is the OrdiZK incident, which highlights the precariousness of investing in these digital assets. However, despitethese dangers, meme coins such as WIF dogwifhat (WIF) have proven their ability to outperform established cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba, especially in times of increased market volatility.
The cryptocurrency market continues to be a rollercoaster ride, with Bitcoin hitting an all-time high before experiencing a significant drop, a cycle that saw around $1 billion liquidated and meme coins bearing the brunt of the losses.
However,with the typical resilience of cryptocurrencies, some, such as PEPE and DOGE, are beginning to recover, demonstrating the enduring appeal and speculative optimism fueling the meme coin phenomenon.
This convergence of culture, technology and finance through meme coins such as STRUMP, MAGA and BODEN offers fascinating insight into the ways in which digital assets are becoming intertwined with social and political narratives.
