🚀 Trump’s Victory Ignites a Meme Coin Rally Led by DOGE
posted 3 hr ago
On November 6, Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the first and most iconic meme coins, shot up by more than 20% as Donald Trump surged to the front in the U.S. presidential race. DOGE is now poised to challenge XRP for the #7 spot in the crypto market rankings.
Such a rise is unlikely to be mere coincidence, as billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk has, in a veiled manner, regularly promoted the Shiba Inu meme and its associated meme coin, DOGE, on the social platform X.

Trump’s lead also pushed up other cryptocurrencies and meme tokens. Solana (SOL), an L1 blockchain coin, surged by roughly 13% over the day, gaining more than BTC and ETH amid speculation that a Trump administration could make a U.S. spot Solana ETF more viable—though this remains speculative.
This rise enabled SOL to leapfrog Binance’s BNB, securing the #4 spot in crypto market capitalization.
Several meme tokens also saw significant one-day growth, including POPCAT (+17%), GOAT (+32%), MUMU (+25%), APU (+24%), ANDY (+33%), and PNUT (+34%). Check out our dedicated article exploring the reasons behind meme coin popularity.
Political-themed meme tokens with low market caps, especially those linked to Donald Trump, experienced dramatic gains, with many rising over 100%, while tokens connected to Kamala Harris fell over 90%. Curiously, the MAGA (TRUMP) token dipped around 20% over the day.
