In the past 24 hours, $MAGA (@MAGAMemecoin) has surged by 25.62%, while $TRUMP on Ethereum has broken past the $170 million market cap, now trading at $4.

This rise coincides with a growing momentum in favor of Donald Trump’s presidential chances, with Polymarket showing Trump leading with 51% against Kamala Harris.

Elon Musk added fuel to the fire when he reacted to Polymarket’s prediction of Trump winning against Harris.

Musk commented that Polymarket’s predictions, which involve actual financial stakes, tend to be more accurate than traditional polls.

In response to Musk’s live speech supporting Trump, the Polymarket odds for the 2024 U.S. presidential election shifted significantly. Trump’s chances of winning rose to 50.6%, while Harris’s odds dropped to 48.4%.
