Meme coins have been a part of the crypto scene since the days of Dogecoin, but they’ve gained even more attention as the market evolves. A new player in this space is PolitiFi, a collection of meme coins that combine political satire with a touch of financial nihilism.
At its core, PolitiFi could be viewed as a social experiment—reflecting current political climates and how the public perceives them. Or, in simpler terms, it’s a fun way for people to place bets on unfolding political events. Whether driven by satire or speculation, PolitiFi coins offer a unique opportunity for those looking to mix politics and playful wagers
PolitiFi coins are a unique subset of meme coins that take inspiration from political figures, events, and ideologies, often with a satirical twist. Popular examples include Doland Tremp (TREMP) and Kamala Horris (KAMA)—both misspelled variations of U.S. 2024 election candidates, drawing inspiration from the “Spoderman” meme, a crudely drawn character from a series of online comics.
PolitiFi coins, like most meme coins, are often created on platforms like Ethereum or Solana, where meme coin trading volume is highest. Their value is speculative and relies on community interest, the relevance of the political event they’re tied to, and viral trends.
Examples of PolitiFi coins
- MAGA (TRUMP): As the name suggests, TRUMP was inspired by former U.S. President Donald Trump. This coin capitalizes on the polarizing nature of Trump’s political career, with its value often influenced by news and events related to him.
- MAGA Hat (MAGA): Trump has more PolitiFi coins based on him than any other politician, likely due to the fact that he’s outspoken on social media and television—leading to speculators gambling that he will consistently garner attention, in turn driving up the price of associated meme coins.
- Doland Tremp (TREMP): Doland Tremp (TREMP) is one of many PolitiFi meme coins intersecting with another meme coin trend, Spoderman comics. Spoderman is a classic MS Paint meme of a strange-looking Spiderman, with Spoderman PoltiFi coins merging the Spoderman comic aesthetic with leading politicians
.
- Jeo Boden (BODEN): A Spoderman comic depiction of Joe Biden, BODEN pokes fun at the incumbent U.S. President with memes and political commentary.
- Kamala Horris (KAMA): Following Biden’s departure from the presidential race, Kamala Harris-themed KAMA token shot to prominence as Democrats rallied around her candidacy.
- ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE): Uniquely, ConstitutionDAO didn’t originate as a meme coin, but as the governance token for a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) seeking to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution at auction. When that effort fell through, the project was abandoned—but its decentralized token lives on, and because of its political branding is considered by some to be a PolitiFi coin.
