After former President Trump released the TRUMP presidential token, a new "presidential token" track was opened, and Meme coins were also given a political color.
This crazy, global "fundraising" performance art will it attract other presidents to imitate? Presidents seem to have no reason to refuse, as the success of the Trump token not only gained unprecedented media attention, but also demonstrated a new "political" participation model, and young people are more inclined to express their political stance in the Web3 field. This trend is forming a "demonstration effect", no political figure wants to fall behind in this new track, give up the opportunity to use their influence to create an innovative and up-to-date image, and also activate the enthusiasm of supporters, forming a closer community connection, perhaps "presidential tokens" will evolve into a digital movement that symbolizes identity recognition and value consensus.
The most likely to follow: President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele
In the global political token race, the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele), is undoubtedly the next most noteworthy token issuer candidate. As the global leader who first incorporated Bitcoin as legal tender, Bukele has proven his innovative courage and execution in the crypto field. From promoting the nationalization of Bitcoin, to launching the "Bitcoin City" and "Volcano Bitcoin Bond" plan, Bukele has always had a strong willingness to innovate in cryptocurrencies, and he has a huge base of crypto industry followers on X, issuing "presidential" or even "national" tokens may be the next natural step. If Bukele's token issuance is successful, it will also set a new financial innovation benchmark for other emerging market countries.
Anti-inflation warrior: Argentine President Milei
Argentine President Javier Milei (@JMilei) has publicly expressed strong support for Bitcoin as a powerful tool to fight inflation when facing Argentina's deteriorating inflation crisis. His "libertarian warrior" identity is highly compatible with the decentralized concept of cryptocurrencies, advocating to reshape Argentina's financial system through market liberalization and digital currency innovation, making him likely to become the most explosive presidential token issuer after Trump. Given Argentina's dire economic situation, the presidential token may also become an alternative asset to fight the devaluation of the peso.
Wartime innovator: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy
Against the special background of the war, Ukraine, as the first country to massively use cryptocurrency fundraising, its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa) is also a potential candidate for issuing the next presidential token. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the Ukrainian government has successfully raised hundreds of millions of dollars in aid funds through cryptocurrencies, demonstrating the practical value of crypto assets in times of crisis. If Zelenskyy issues a political token, it will not only be a fundraising tool, but more likely to become a new digital diplomacy means to rally international support. This innovation can be combined with Ukraine's ongoing digital transformation, providing new financing channels for post-war reconstruction.
Most dramatic: Impeached Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol
In Korea's unique cryptocurrency ecosystem, the Korean public has a great enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies with a large participation base. Although Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol (@President_KR) was arrested due to martial law, the community still believes Yoon has the possibility of issuing a presidential token, and for his current situation, riding this wave of popularity may win the support of some citizens to improve his current predicament. The high participation of Korean citizens in cryptocurrencies and the social media propagation characteristics of political topics provide the "soil" for the growth of presidential tokens. The previous Yoon government also showed a friendly attitude towards Web3, planning to establish a comprehensive cryptocurrency regulatory framework.
African crypto pioneer: President of the Central African Republic Touadera
Among African countries, the Central African Republic, as the second country after El Salvador to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, its President Faustin-Archange Touadéra (@FA_Touadera) is also a strong candidate. His vision is not only limited to the adoption of Bitcoin, but also aims to turn the country into the crypto center of Africa, attracting international crypto companies to set up, creating job opportunities. If he issues a "presidential token", it may become an important step in realizing this vision, which can both provide an experimental field for the country's digital transformation and attract the attention of global crypto investors, or it may open up a new development path for infrastructure-poor countries.
EU digital innovation driver: French President Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) expressed his hope to turn France into the Web3 center of Europe during the election campaign, although he has not taken many measures in the crypto field afterwards, but community users speculate that any of his actions on presidential tokens will have a far-reaching impact on the entire Europe. If Macron chooses to issue a political token, he may adopt a more standardized and conservative approach, possibly positioning it as an experiment in digital political participation, which is a possible path for promoting political token innovation under the strict financial regulatory framework (MiCA) of the EU.
Others
In addition to the presidents who have already made a high-profile appearance on the Web3 stage mentioned above, there are also some "low-profile presidents" who have been enthusiastically nominated by netizens, and they may also be quietly observing and waiting for the right moment:
- Former Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong (@leehsienloong)
- President of Costa Rica Rodrigo Chaves (@RodrigoChavesR)
- President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa (@CyrilRamaphosa)

Summary
The price of TRUMP token fell back to $6.9 billion after surging to $80 billion due to news about the First Lady token. Imagine if presidential tokens really develop into a unique political token market in the future, then the large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies will no longer be far away, as presidential tokens are endorsed by the most influential people in each country.
As for investment strategies, there are currently no shortage of scams related to presidential tokens, and users need to be cautious in identifying them. When the next real opportunity comes, are you going to be a "reckless" one, seeing a new presidential token and going "All In"? Or will you be a "cautious" one, first studying the "status" of the president and their country's attitude towards cryptocurrencies (although everyone knows that by the time you figure it out, the market may have already run away)?
