The Department of Government Efficiency and Peanut the Squirrel memecoins have risen by 23% and 45% respectively, according to Coingecko data.
Memecoins inspired by Trump-campaign themes rally
The Peanut the Squirrel memecoin is inspired by the controversial euthanasia of a pet squirrel seized by New York's Department of Environmental Conservation, an event that became a rallying cry for Republicans.
Similarly, the Department of Government Efficiency memecoin is based on Elon Musk’s potential involvement in a possible new initiative under the Trump administration, with Musk expressing support for improving government efficiency.
"I'd be happy to help improve the government efficiency, obviously Department of Government Efficiency which is sorely needed, we've got a gigantic government bureaucracy and overregulation," Musk stated in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson.
However, not all Trump-themed tokens have fared well. MAGA, a token inspired by the president's political brand, has seen its value drop by over 27% in the past 24 hours.

The broader memecoin market is mostly rallying, with tokens outside the PolitiFi category gaining significant value over the past 24 hours. Notably, the Base Meme Coingecko category's market cap has risen over 21% in the last 24 hours to $1.45 billion, with memecoins native to the Base network like Brett and Toshi seeing gains of 16% and 21%, respectively. Meanwhile, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols within the same ecosystem, such as Alien Base have also reported strong growth, up 25% in the same period.
Shift in regulatory sentiment toward crypto
"Trump is also expected to implement tighter fiscal policies to address the growing U.S. debt problem, and this fiscal restraint could lead to looser monetary policy as a counterbalance, which would be favorable for digital assets," Butterfill said in an email sent to The Block.
Butterfill also noted that an improving regulatory environment could help reduce the stigma around cryptocurrency ownership, fostering broader adoption.
“Currently, 13F filings indicate that adoption remains relatively low despite a record $29 billion in inflows this year. We’re likely to see continued record inflows into bitcoin both this year and next,” he added.
