This surge in interest aligns with the latest U.S. election updates, where Donald Trump is currently leading with 51.7% of the vote, followed closely by Kamala Harris with 47.5%.
Now, with Trump’s lead capturing public attention, there’s a growing interest in tokens linked to him. Meanwhile, the combination of election news and social media buzz is helping to boost their popularity.
