<div class="finbold">
 <p class="paragraph">A guilty verdict has been reached in the long-awaited Hush Money trial, with former U.S. President Donald Trump found guilty on all 34 felony counts by a unanimous decision from 12 jurors in New York, with sentencing set for July 11.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, for one crypto trader, there is a silver lining in this verdict, as he managed to earn over $167,000 with well-placed trades involving Trump-related tokens, FreeTrump (FREE), and Never Surrender (TRUMP) created shortly after the guilty verdict was reached.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-did-the-trade-unfold">How did the trade unfold?</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Using a strategic approach, the trader capitalized on the volatility of Trump-themed tokens, specifically FreeTrump and Never Surrender.&nbsp; In just five hours, the cryptocurrency trader converted them into approximately 972 Solana (SOL) tokens, equivalent to $167,000.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Although not directly linked to Donald Trump, the MAGA (TRUMP) <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="token" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/token.html">token</a> surge has created a new class of millionaires in the emerging PoliFi crypto sector, where politics, finance, and cryptocurrency converge.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">According to on-chain data provider <em>CoinMarketCap</em>, the TRUMP token has surged 75% in the past week. On May 21 alone, it increased by 14% following the Trump campaign’s announcement that it would accept crypto donations, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB).</p>
