Political meme coins are turning election headlines into short, sharp bursts of volatility and analysts say the broader “PolitiFi” trade may stick around longer than many expect.
According to CoinGecko, on January 29, traders had pushed the PolitiFi category to about $1.18 billion in total market value, with nearly $195.7 million in daily volume across centralized exchanges and on-chain venues.

Can Trump and Melania Tokens Keep Gaining as US Election Headlines Shape Crypto Sentiment?
The biggest tokens in the group OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) and MELANIA were both slightly higher on CoinGecko’s board during the past day.
Their moves were steady, not explosive, but enough to show that traders are still watching political narratives as the US election cycle builds momentum.
More political tokens are being launched each week, and the market now treats them like fast-moving sentiment trades.
And while many of these coins fade as hype cools, analysts say the next few months could bring fresh spikes as campaign stories shift and new polls come out.
The latest snapshot shows how fast political stories can pull liquidity into a few tokens. CoinGecko listed TRUMP near $4.76 with about $158 million in daily volume and a market cap close to $951 million.
MELANIA traded near $0.165 with roughly $17.6 million in volume and a market cap of about $158 million.
Analysts who expect political tokens to stay strong through 2027 point to two simple drivers: constant election events and the growing habit of traders reacting to headlines.

Why Are PolitiFi Tokens Outperforming Meme Coins During Election Cycles?
CoinGecko Research found that PolitiFi tokens beat wider meme-coin markets in 2024, climbing 782.4% from January 1 to August 25 that year. Most of the big jumps lined up with campaign moments.
Researchers at Concordia University said these tokens can act as “a financing vehicle or a voter engagement tool.”
They also noted that they may be used “every two to four years,” which keeps the theme alive even when elections are not on the calendar.
Another boost comes from the effort to package political interest into products that look more familiar to traditional investors.
An SEC filing in 2025 for a proposed TRUMP-linked product described the token as both “a political statement” and a “digital collector’s item.”
It shows how issuers are trying to formalize a market that started as a meme but now trades as a recurring political cycle.
Reuters also reported that politically themed ETFs expanded in US markets this week, a sign that investors are now seeking direct exposure to political sentiment.
The growth of these products shows that political narratives are no longer sitting at the edges of the market.
They are moving into regulated structures that traditional traders already understand.
