Political Memecoins Surge 99% in June 2025 Amid Political Events

Political-themed memecoins, often referred to as "PolitiFi" tokens, have gained significant traction by blending crypto enthusiasm with political events and internet humor. These tokens frequently experience surges during political events or viral moments, making them a hot trend in the crypto world. In June 2025, several high-profile political memecoins are attracting attention due to their active communities and market interest.

Patriot (PATRIOT) is a Trump-themed meme token on the Ethereum blockchain. It is marketed as honoring Donald J. Trump’s legacy and even plans to erect a bronze statue in his honor. Currently, PATRIOT trades around $0.0005374, with a market cap of approximately $5.4 million and all 10 billion tokens in circulation. Remarkably, Patriot spiked to an all-time high of $274.42 on April 25, 2025, immediately after Trump’s inauguration, before crashing to microcent levels. Its current price is roughly 99.999% below that high, reflecting a significant drawdown from its peak.

Pwease (PWEASE) is a Solana-based political meme coin known for its catchy, polite name and strong community support. Its tagline, “YOU SHOULDA SAID PWEASE,” has resonated with many. As of late June 2025, PWEASE trades near $0.00565 with a market cap of about $5.6 million. Pwease rocketed from near-zero to an all-time high of $0.05455 on March 15, 2025, before correcting sharply. Its current price is roughly 90% off that peak, highlighting the high volatility associated with these tokens.

ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE) has a unique origin story. It began as a grassroots crypto campaign to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution. In late 2021, over 17,000 donors raised over $40 million in ETH to bid on the Constitution at a Sotheby’s auction. Although Ken Griffin ultimately won the auction and the DAO disbanded, refunding contributors, the PEOPLE token lives on as a political meme coin. Today, it trades around $0.01701 with a market cap of about $86 million. ConstitutionDAO’s all-time high was $0.1852 on December 23, 2021, so current prices are roughly 90% below that level. Despite the drawdown, PEOPLE still has a large community due to its viral origin story.

GOHOME (GOHOME) is a Solana meme token born from a viral political moment. On January 21, 2025, the day after President Trump’s inauguration, the White House briefly removed the Spanish-language page and displayed a “Go Home” message on its site. This glitch led to the $GOHOME meme, which humorously encourages telling unwelcome visitors “go home.” As of June 2025, GOHOME trades around $243.86 with a market cap of approximately $122 million. It hit an all-time high of $368.82 on March 14, 2025, so current levels are about 34% below that peak. Its meteoric rise from pennies to hundreds of dollars underscores the speculative mania behind these tokens.

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) is a Solana-based meme coin dedicated to a viral internet squirrel story. The project’s slogan is “PEANUT FOREVER” and it rallies under the hashtag #JusticeForPeanut. In June 2025, PNUT trades around $0.2095, giving it a market cap of roughly $209 million, one of the largest in the political memes category. Last fall, it exploded in popularity, with its all-time high being $2.47 on November 14, 2024. It has since retraced over 90%, but the coin remains top-ranked by market cap, reflecting its strong community support.

Political memecoins are highly speculative and volatile. All the above projects saw meteoric pump-and-dump moves, as seen in their all-time highs versus current prices, and rely mostly on social hype. Their popularity often spikes around real-world events, such as GOHOME around a White House meme and Peanut around a viral story. Despite (or because of) the craziness, these tokens have attracted significant market interest. For example, Peanut trades around a $209 million market cap while Patriot is around $6 million. That range shows just how mainstream some of these meme coins have become. Traders interested in the PolitiFi niche may keep a close eye on Patriot, PWEASE, ConstitutionDAO, GOHOME, and Peanut for any news-driven moves in June 2025. However, none of these coins have traditional fundamentals – they are purely community-driven memes. Investors should do their own research and be prepared for extreme swings.
