Memecoins inspired by United States President Joe Biden and candidate Donald Trump tanked up to 53% as the pair battled it out during the first of two live presidential debates.

Super Trump (STRUMP) and BABYTRUMP (BABYTRUMP) also tanked double digits during and after the debate. 
Trump and Biden mostly debated issues relating to the economy, immigration, wars and abortion.
Neither speaker <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/biden-trump-debate-didnt-mention-crypto">mentioned the cryptocurrency sector</a> nor was the topic raised by the moderators. This is despite a trio of super political action committees supporting the cryptocurrency industry <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-super-pac-donation-jump-crypto">raising over $200 million</a> to influence the 2024 election. 
Biden and Trump will have one more opportunity to potentially discuss issues related to the digital asset industry on Sept. 10, when the next debate is scheduled.

Data from prediction markets platform PredictIt showed Trump’s odds of <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-spikes-trump-widens-gap-against-biden-presidential-debate">winning the presidency increased</a>, while Biden’s chances plummeted, as watchers noticed Biden stumbled through some answers and failed to finish some sentences throughout the debate. Trump, for his part, made false or misleading statements over 30 times, according to CNN fact-checkers.
Trump’s odds on the platform increased from $0.53 to $0.63, while Biden’s fell sharply from $0.48 to $0.37 in the same timeframe.
