Summary:

  • $TRUMP could predict Bitcoin’s price movements and replace traditional polling.

  • Arthur Hayes argues that $TRUMP’s presidential background provides significant utility.

  • Building a community of supporters is easier when financial benefits are tied to political success.

  • Politically linked memecoins may serve as real-time indicators of popularity.

  • $TRUMP’s performance might act as a barometer for Bitcoin’s movements.

Understanding the $TRUMP Phenomenon

When it comes to $TRUMP, the token released by President Trump shortly before his inauguration, investor Arthur Hayes sees it as more than just another memecoin. In his latest post, he argues that $TRUMP’s presidential provenance gives it significant utility beyond typical financial assets.

The Multifunctional Role of $TRUMP

Hayes identifies several potential roles for $TRUMP: it could serve as a predictor of Bitcoin’s price movements, a fundraising tool for campaigns, and even a replacement for traditional polling methods. He asserts that each of these functions signifies a new paradigm for crypto markets globally.

“Trump, in one master stroke, just enacted campaign finance reform, and I don’t think he even knows it,” Hayes remarked.

Hayes suggests that creating a community of loyal supporters becomes easier when individuals have a financial stake in political success.

Market Performance as a Sentiment Indicator

The question remains whether those who speculated on $TRUMP have actually profited, which is still up for debate. Hayes believes that politically linked memecoins could act as real-time indicators of a politician’s popularity, offering a zero-knowledge proof of political support.

“As an individual, you can now privately support a politician by purchasing their memecoin — one your friends may abhor — without facing social stigma. This gives politicians a more accurate measure of public sentiment,” he explained.

$TRUMP as a Barometer for Bitcoin

Hayes also posits that $TRUMP’s market performance, potentially monitored by Trump himself, could act as a barometer for Bitcoin’s movements. He believes that if crypto sentiment is improving, $TRUMP will likely lead Bitcoin, stating:

“If insiders believe an upcoming policy will positively impact crypto, $TRUMP will surge before the news is announced — then Bitcoin will follow.”

Crypto Market Movers

  • Bitcoin has gained 0.5% over the past 24 hours, trading at $97,420.
  • Ethereum is down 0.1% to $2,700.
