Although Joe Boden (BODEN), a memecoin referring to a misspelling of U.S. President Joe Biden’s name, was only 1% up on May 9, it rallied as much as 22% on March 8 after Trump’s remarks.
On May 8, Trump was speaking during an NFT dinner he hosted for his digital collectibles holders at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
When asked whether his campaign would accept crypto donations, he answered,
”Can we donate to the Trump campaign using crypto? I believe the answer is yes. If you can’t, I’ll make sure you can.”
On the crypto industry, Trump claimed the sitting U.S. President Joe Biden and his administration are against the industry, assuring the attendees that he was pro-crypto:
“I’m fine with it. I want to make sure it’s good and solid and everything else. But I’m good with it. And if you like crypto in any form (and it comes in many different forms), if you are in favor of crypto, you better vote for Trump.”
As reported by Cointelegraph, memecoins have grown tremendously in 2024 to become the most profitable narrative in Q1.
According to pseudonymous X user Crypto Koryo, CoinMarketCap listed a record 138 erc-20 memecoins in April 2024, extending the parabolic rise of 666% from April 2023’s tally of just 18.
The analyst said,
“The number of memecoin erc-20 tokens is going parabolic in 2024. Last month, 138 new memecoins registered on CoinMarketCap, compared to 18 in April 2023.“
