TL;DR
The past 24 hours have been highly successful for the cryptocurrency sector, with its global market capitalization rising by 7% to approximately $2.6 trillion (per CoinGecko’s data).
Perhaps the most obvious reason fueling the rally is Donald Trump’s increased odds to win the US presidential elections. The Republican, who presented himself as a firm supporter of the digital asset industry during his campaign, has reportedly secured viral victories in swing states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. According to Polymarket, his chances of entering the White House as a winner have surpassed 99%.
Some of the top-performing cryptocurrencies following the news of his massive lead include Bitcoin (BTC), which hit a new all-time high of over $75,000, and Solana (SOL), which exploded to a six-month peak of approximately $186.
The meme coin niche is also full of notable gainers. The largest in terms of market cap – Dogecoin (DOGE) – exceeded $0.21, a level last observed in April this year. Its biggest rival – Shiba Inu (SHIB) – is up 9.5% daily, while Pepe (PEPE), Bonk Inu (BONK), Popcat (POPCAT), Floki Inu (FLOKI), and many more have charted double-digit increases.
Somewhat expected, meme coins related to the presidential candidates have experienced enhanced volatility, too. Those connected to the Republican, such as MAGA (TRUMP), Donald Tremp (TREMP), Dark Maga (MAGA), and MAGA Again (MAGAA) have recorded substantial gains.

Conversely, Harris-themed memes, including Kamala Horris (KAMA) and Kamabla (KAMABLA), are among the market’s poorest performers.
