MAGA (MAGA) saw an even stronger hike with gains of approx. 35%, while Doland Tremp (TREMP) climbed by around 18%.Worth noting, however, that the surge proved short-lived as many traders quickly cashed out. This led to a swift downturn shortly after the rally.

top daily gainers.How are Harris-themed tokens doing?
Kamala Harris-inspired tokens saw a varied performance. Kamala Horris (KAMA) initially dropped by 21%, before gradually reversing some of its losses at press time. However, it ceded its spot as the top Harris-themed token.
On the other hand, Kumala Herris (MAWA)also fell by 6.5%, but rebounded to post gains of 8% and dethrone KAMA. Meanwhile, Krypto Harris (HARRIS) outperformed its peers with a 98% hike, showing that enthusiasm for Harris-themed tokens remains more selective.
Future of PolitiFi tokens post-elections
Despite their unpredictable price swings, political parody tokens have emerged as a novel way of gauging election-year sentiment among crypto traders.
With the market highly sensitive to political developments, a win in Trump’s favor may trigger a rally for the associated tokens. And, the same might be the case for Harris-themed tokens if the VP secures the Oval Office.
Whether they will sustain their momentum post-election or fade into the volatile crypto ether remains to be seen. What is clear is that the convergence of politics and cryptocurrency continues to drive dynamic and unpredictable market movements, mirroring the nation’s intense electoral decision-making process.
