Taylor Swift

Kamala Horris

President Donald Trump

The cryptocurrency market has faced another wave of sharp sell-offs, with some tokens seeing steeper declines due to negative news. Recently, former U.S. President Donald Trump declared his hatred for Taylor Swift after she voiced support for Kamala Harris. This led to a sharp drop in the Taylor Swift-themed meme coin.

As reported by The Bit Journal, the internet has a unique ability to make light of almost any event, whether serious or humorous. This was evident in the crypto markets between September 15 and 16, when the Taylor Swift-themed meme coin SWIFTIES dropped by 9.25%, falling from $0.02863 to $0.02417. 
This sudden drop appears to be linked to Taylor Swift’s recent public endorsement of Kamala Harris for the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Shortly after, on September 15, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, “I hate Taylor Swift,” sparking immediate reactions.

Under normal circumstances, this might have been the end of the story. However, just hours later, Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt—the second in less than two months. This led to online communities humorously speculating that the ‘Swifties’ (Taylor Swift’s fans) were behind the attack, with memes circulating across social media platforms.

At the time of writing, the SWIFTIES meme coin has an underwhelming 24-hour trading volume of $2,000 and a market capitalization just above $240,000. Given these modest figures, the coin’s circumstances are unlikely to change drastically. Nevertheless, the Taylor Swift cryptocurrency represents a broader financial shock hitting assets associated with key figures in the 2024 presidential race, including Donald Trump.

One of the largest Kamala Harris-themed meme coins, Kamala Horris (KAMA), also experienced a decline. The token fell by 5.59% in the last 24 hours and has been down by over 20% on a weekly chart, showing a continuing trend.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44749" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Grafik-2-16.webp" alt="Donald Trump Says He Hates Taylor Swift: Meme Coin Plummets! = The Bit Journal" width="957" height="577" title="Donald Trump Says He Hates Taylor Swift: Meme Coin Plummets! 21"> 
Interestingly, KAMA’s performance mirrors that of Trump Media shares, which have been significantly impacted by the presidential race and its fluctuating dynamics. After the September 10 debate, DJT stocks crashed, indicating investor dissatisfaction with the Republican candidate. However, DJT saw a rebound after September 13, demonstrating the strong support from Trump’s base. 
The meme coin market continues to react to the chaotic political climate in the U.S., with SWIFTIES and KAMA among the latest examples. As the 2024 election season intensifies, it’s clear that political events, combined with public figures like Taylor Swift and Donald Trump, can significantly influence cryptocurrency trends.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44748" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Grafik-3-7-1536x502-1.webp" alt="Donald Trump Says He Hates Taylor Swift: Meme Coin Plummets! = The Bit Journal" width="1536" height="502" title="Donald Trump Says He Hates Taylor Swift: Meme Coin Plummets! 22">
