Following the Donald Trump interview hosted by Ilon Musk on August 12th, memcoins about politicians and DOGE counterparts rose sharply in value.
The MOG TRUMP token showed the biggest growth, showing an increase of 82% in just one day. In second and third place were the NEVER SURRENDER (TRUMP) and MAGA (TRUMP) memcoins, which rose 10% and 13%.
DOGE analogs, which gained the support of Ilon Musk – FLOKI and DOGE coins rose by 3% after the interview. An interesting fact is that in the interview, the politician and entrepreneur never once talked about cryptocurrencies, but the assets still rose in value.
Since Kamala Harris beat Trump in the probability of winning the U.S. presidential election on August 10, it is possible that with this interview Donald wanted to attract voters to his candidacy, increasing his chances of occupying the White House. At the moment, on crypto betting platform Polymarket, 52% of users are betting on Kamala’s victory, while only 46% of players are betting on Donald’s victory.
