Following a heated debate where Kamala Harris gained the upper hand over Donald Trump, the cryptocurrency market saw dramatic shifts.

Trump-inspired memecoins, particularly $MAGA and $TRUMP, took a nosedive, losing more than 10% in value. In stark contrast, the value of $HARRIS skyrocketed by nearly 100%.

Memecoins linked to Trump, including $MAGAA, saw a sharp decline of over 10% after Harris’ strong performance. However, $HARRIS surged by over 30% in just 24 hours, driven by the favorable headlines for the Vice President.

Large Transactions On $MAGA Impacting Price Action 

This market turbulence was marked by large transactions—around $2.5 million worth of $MAGA was moved to Gate.io within the past day. Of this, $2 million was transferred to Gate.io’s Cold Wallet, as tracked by Arkham Intelligence.

On Polymarket, the odds for both Trump and Harris are now neck and neck, with each candidate holding 49% winning chances. Trump’s odds dropped by 3%, while Harris saw a 4% rise.

As discussions of a second debate in October heat up, the question remains—can Trump-themed coins stage a recovery, or will $HARRIS maintain its upward momentum in the crypto market?

The next few weeks will be crucial, as the political landscape and the performance of these niche cryptocurrencies remain highly volatile and intertwined.
