The crypto market just scored big in Washington, with more than 250 industry-friendly candidates landing spots in Congress after Tuesday’s election.
Crypto hasn’t messed around this year – pumping over $200 million into key races, including Bernie Moreno’s win in Ohio.
While some crypto critics, like Elizabeth Warren, managed to hold on, the overall push to get friendlier voices into Congress seems to have paid off.
In this article, we’ll look at six coins that could be about to rally as Washington’s power dynamics shift in crypto’s favor.
1. Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
The first coin that could benefit from any potential bullishness is Pepe Unchained (PEPU).
This coin is still in presale, yet it has been on fire, raising over $25 million before its official launch.
Investors are piling into the presale to snag PEPU tokens for just $0.01229 each.
This trend has only intensified since Pepe Unchained’s team revealed their “Pump Pad” trading platform yesterday.
The team hopes this platform will be the Pepe Chain’s answer to Pump.fun – the Solana-based platform that has exploded in popularity this year.
Pepe Unchained’s community is buzzing about this prospect, with people piling into the Telegram channel to learn more.
So, with a crypto-friendly administration soon to be in place, PEPU could be a coin worth watching in any potential bull run.
2. Crypto All-Stars (STARS)
Another coin that could benefit from all the pro-crypto candidates in Congress is Crypto All-Stars (STARS).
Like Pepe Unchained, Crypto All-Stars is still in presale, yet has raised $3.1 million in early funding.
Would-be investors can buy in using crypto or a credit/debit card.
The main reason for all the hype around Crypto All-Stars is its MemeVault staking app.
Using the meme coin, investors can stake popular meme coins (like DOGE) to earn STARS tokens in return.
Annual yields are currently set at 500%.
Investors can also stake their STARS tokens – creating a positive feedback loop filled with rewards.
Given the potential for less crypto regulation going forward, Crypto All-Stars might be primed to capitalize on the conditions.
3. Cetus Protocol (CETUS)
Cetus Protocol (CETUS) could be another big winner from crypto’s political momentum.
Built on the Sui and Aptos blockchains, this concentrated liquidity protocol has been quietly gaining momentum.
With a friendlier regulatory environment on the horizon, its unique approach to DEX trading could attract the attention it deserves.
Right now, the native CETUS token is trading at around $0.384.
It’s up 119% in the past week, with over $400 million in trades in the last 24 hours alone.
As Congress potentially eases up on DeFi regulations, Cetus Protocol could be in line to benefit.
4. FreeDum Fighters (DUM)
FreeDum Fighters (DUM) is a PolitiFi meme coin that’s been going viral on social media.
It features a unique staking protocol where token holders can “vote” on characters like MAGATRON and Kamacop 9000.
Each character has its own staking pool with yields that fluctuate over time.
Right now, Kamacop 9000’s staking pool offers APYs of 722% – and investors have already locked up over 6.8 billion DUM tokens.
There’s more to FreeDum Fighters than just this staking app, though.
The team will also host weekly debates where the winning side earns extra DUM tokens through airdrops.
With Trump not taking office until January, there’s every chance FreeDum Fighters will keep building momentum in the months ahead.
5. Flockerz (FLOCK)
Flockerz (FLOCK) is taking a completely different approach to community ownership.
The project’s main feature is its “Vote-to-Earn” setup.
This setup, central to the Flocktopia DAO, allows community members to vote on proposals and earn crypto in return.
Rewards are paid out in FLOCK, Flockerz’s native token.
Investors can even stake their FLOCK tokens to earn more income – creating a system where everyone benefits from active participation.
Flockerz is still in its presale phase, yet has raised over $1.2 million in funding.
With FLOCK tokens on offer for just $0.0059571 each, there’s room to run for this new meme coin if a bull cycle kicks off.
6. Raydium (RAY)
Rounding off our list of the next bull run candidates is Raydium (RAY).
As one of Solana’s top DEXs, Raydium has been crushing it lately – and the native RAY token now has a market cap of over $1.2 billion.
Most of its bullishness can be traced to the optimism around Solana itself.
SOL has been rallying, mainly because the chances of a spot SOL ETF being approved under a Trump administration are much higher.
With Raydium’s deep liquidity pools, it’s well-positioned to capture any surge in new users.
Plus, given that RAY is still 72% below its all-time high, the token has plenty of upside potential if we enter a bull run next year.
