The memecoin category of cryptocurrencies is experiencing a strong surge in price levels going into the United States election day. Top memecoins that are not even PoliFi tokens themed after political figures seem to be benefiting from the buzz of the US presidential elections, surging to new heights.

The total market capitalization of the memecoin category surged by 4.3% in the last 24 hours, hitting $62.3 billion. The daily trading volume of the memecoin is currently around the range of $9.3 billion.

The data was revealed by trusted coin aggregator Coingecko, listing the price action of the top 5 memecoins by market capitalization and their gains in the last 24 hours.

The memecoin is the leading memecoin by market capitalization with a market cap of $24.7 billion at the time of writing.

Memecoins Surge while Other Assets Slow Down

The memecoin category is the only category of the crypto market in a bull rally as the United States heads to the poll today. Top memecoins are surging while other crypto assets are cooling down.

This is also reflected in the general market capitalization of crypto assets, which decreased by $33 billion in the last 24 hours, reaching $2.38 trillion.

The spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) also witnessed its second-largest net outflow with $541.1 million leaving the funds. This drop is a result of investors taking caution ahead of the US elections.
