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 $TRUMPâs 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 Bitcoinâs 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.
âTrump, in one master stroke, just enacted campaign finance reform, and I donât think he even knows it,â 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 politicianâs popularity, offering a zero-knowledge proof of political support.
âAs an individual, you can now privately support a politician by purchasing their memecoin â one your friends may abhor â without facing social stigma. This gives politicians a more accurate measure of public sentiment,â he explained.
$TRUMP as a Barometer for Bitcoin
Hayes also posits that $TRUMPâs market performance, potentially monitored by Trump himself, could act as a barometer for Bitcoinâs movements. He believes that if crypto sentiment is improving, $TRUMP will likely lead Bitcoin, stating:
âIf insiders believe an upcoming policy will positively impact crypto, $TRUMP will surge before the news is announced â then Bitcoin will follow.â
