Following Donald Trump's election as President of the United States, certain Trump-themed memecoins have experienced significant gains. Coins like Department of Government Efficiency and Peanut the Squirrel saw price increases of 41% and 75% in a 24-hour period. The Peanut the Squirrel token gained popularity due to a viral incident involving the euthanization of a pet squirrel, which attracted Republican supporters. The Department of Government Efficiency token was fueled by speculation surrounding Elon Musk's potential involvement in a new government efficiency initiative. However, other tokens like MAGA and Super Trump suffered losses. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, believes that Trump's influence could lead to a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment, which could boost overall cryptocurrency adoption.
