Former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk spent time promoting a live interview scheduled for Monday night at 8 p.m. ET. As anticipation builds, several Trump-centric MME coins have traded higher over the past 24 hours.

Other tokens that are trading higher in the 10-15% range include Doland Tremp (TREMP), Dark MAGA (DMAGA), and FreeTrump ($TRUMP).
The total PolitiFi market cap is $606 million. This sub-sector is tracked by CoinGecko and the token is not officially affiliated with any politician.
The Republican presidential candidate changed his tune this year and embraced the crypto community while running for reelection. Last week, Trump’s two sons hinted at an announcement related to the world of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi). Soon after, Donald Trump Jr. clarified that the hint had nothing to do with Mimecoin.
“There are a lot of people doing great things. I love Mimecoin and the culture. I love what they do with my friends. It’s really great,” Don Jr. said.. “But I have to make sure people understand that you can’t confuse one thing with the other.”
Trump, who had been silent for years in the lead-up to the Musk interview, began using his X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday.
