PoltiFi tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) inspired by former President Donald Trump took flight as the GOP nominee gained the upper hand in key battleground states.
What happened: Maga, the largest of all Trump-themed coins, shot up 21% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $185 million, according to CoinGecko.
Doland Tremp, parodying the former president's name, swelled nearly 40%, while Maga Hat ballooned to 21%.
Interestingly, despite having a lower market cap, MAGA clocked higher trading volume than TRUMP.

Trump's NFT collections also received a boost. The latest of his digital cards, "America First Edition," saw its floor price increase 5% in the last 24 hours, according to NFT Price Floor.
The "Mugshot Edition," launched in Dec. 2023, was up 2.94%.
For the uninitiated, the floor price of an NFT is the lowest price at which an NFT in a collection can be purchased. It's a key metric for buyers to understand the market value and accessibility of a collection.
The spike in Trump-associated cryptocurrencies came as the Republican hopeful won the red states of Kentucky, Florida and Indiana, and was leading in the swing state of Georgia as of this writing.
