This rapid growth is fueled by the increasing attention to US politics in the crypto space. PolitiFi coins, which are typically memecoins that are affiliated with a particular political movement or figure, are designed to capitalize on this attention and ride the wave of political enthusiasm among crypto enthusiasts.

As of August 25, PolitiFi coins are valued at $680.8 million, which still only comprises a small portion of the overall memecoin market. With a market cap of $45.6 billion, PolitiFi coins account for just 1.5% of the total.

Back in June 16, PolitiFi coins had an aggregate market capitalization of $1.6B, which constituted 3.3% of memecoins.

The statistics were provided by CoinGecko in its latest report, highlighting the changing dynamics of the memecoin market and the emerging role of PolitiFi coins in this landscape.

The significant fluctuations in their values reflect the strong impact of political developments on their performance. Some of these coins are made for keeping it as a meme while others use the earnings from it to fund political agendas.

Since PolitiFi coins rely closely on political events, specific events such as Trump’s election win and legal battles, dramatically affected the value of the PolitiFi coins.

As political events continue to influence the market, PolitiFi coins are expected to remain a turbulent yet exciting territory for both investors and political enthusiasts.
