Who will be the next issuer of the "president coin"?

Author: angelilu, Foresight News

After Trump released the presidential token TRUMP, a new track of "presidential token issuance" was opened, and Meme coins were also given a political hue.

Will this crazy, global "money-making" performance art attract other presidents to follow suit? Presidents seem to have no reason to refuse; the success of the Trump token not only garnered unprecedented media attention but also showcased a brand new mode of "political" participation, with young people more inclined to express their political stance in the Web3 space. This trend is forming a "demonstration effect," with no political figures willing to fall behind in this new track, missing the opportunity to use their influence to create an innovative and contemporary image, while also activating the enthusiasm of supporters and forming closer community ties. Perhaps "presidential token issuance" will evolve into a digital movement symbolizing identity recognition and value consensus.

The Most Likely Follow-Up President: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele

In the global political token race, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele) is undoubtedly the next candidate to watch for token issuance. As the world's first national leader to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, Bukele has proven his innovative courage and execution in the crypto space. From promoting the national monetization of Bitcoin to launching the "Bitcoin City" and "Volcano Bitcoin Bond" initiatives, Bukele has consistently shown a strong willingness for cryptocurrency innovation, and he has a large base of crypto industry followers on X. Issuing a "presidential" or even "national" token could be a natural next step. If Bukele's token issuance is successful, it will also set a new benchmark for financial innovation for other emerging market countries.

Anti-Inflation Fighter: Argentina President Milei

Argentina President Javier Milei (@JMilei) has publicly expressed strong support for Bitcoin in the face of Argentina's ongoing inflation crisis, viewing it as a powerful tool against inflation. His identity as a "libertarian warrior" aligns closely with the decentralized ethos of cryptocurrency, advocating for the reshaping of Argentina's financial system through market liberalization and digital currency innovation, making him a likely candidate to be the most explosive presidential token issuer after Trump. Given Argentina's severe economic situation, a presidential token could also become an alternative asset to combat the depreciation of the peso.

Wartime Innovator: Ukraine President Zelensky

In the unique context of wartime, Ukraine, as the first country to utilize cryptocurrency fundraising on a large scale, has its president, Volodymyr Zelensky (@ZelenskyyUa), as a strong potential candidate for issuing a presidential token. Since the outbreak of conflict, the Ukrainian government has successfully raised hundreds of millions of dollars in aid through cryptocurrency, demonstrating the practical value of crypto assets in times of crisis. If Zelensky issues a political token, it would not only serve as a fundraising tool but could also become a new form of digital diplomacy to garner international support. This innovation could align with Ukraine's ongoing digital transformation, providing new financing channels for post-war reconstruction.

The Most Dramatic: Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol

In South Korea's unique cryptocurrency ecosystem, the public has a high level of enthusiasm for cryptocurrency, with a large base of participants. Although President Yoon Suk-yeol (@President_KR) was arrested due to a state of emergency, the community still believes there is a possibility for him to issue a presidential token. For him, riding this wave of popularity might win the support of certain segments of the public to improve his current situation. The high participation of South Koreans in crypto, combined with the social media propagation of political topics, provides fertile ground for presidential tokens to "grow." Furthermore, the Yoon administration has shown a friendly attitude towards Web3, planning to establish a comprehensive cryptocurrency regulatory framework.

African Crypto Pioneer: Central African Republic President Touadéra

As the second country after El Salvador to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, the President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadéra (@FA_Touadera), is also a strong candidate. His vision extends beyond the adoption of Bitcoin; he aims to transform the country into Africa's cryptocurrency hub, attracting international crypto companies and creating job opportunities. If he issues a "presidential token," it could be an important step towards realizing this vision, providing an experimental ground for the country's digital transformation and attracting global crypto investors' attention, potentially opening new development paths for infrastructure-deficient countries.

EU Digital Innovation Promoter: French President Macron

During his campaign, French President Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) expressed a desire to make France the Web3 center of Europe. Although he has taken few measures in the crypto space since then, community users speculate that any move he makes regarding presidential tokens will have a profound impact on the entire Europe. If Macron chooses to issue a political token, he is likely to adopt a more regulated and conservative approach, possibly positioning it as an experiment in digital political participation, which could be a possible path for advancing political token innovation under the EU's strict financial regulatory framework (MiCA).

Others

In addition to the presidents mentioned above who have made high-profile appearances on the Web3 stage, there are some "low-key presidents" enthusiastically nominated by netizens. Although they have not made any official moves in the Web3 space, they might be quietly observing and waiting for the right moment:

• Former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (@leehsienloong)
• Costa Rican President Chaves (@RodrigoChavesR)
• South African President Ramaphosa (@CyrilRamaphosa)
• Brazilian President Lula (@LulaOficial)
• Mexican President López Obrador (@lopezobrador_)
• Pakistani President Alvi (@ArifAlvi)
• Indian Prime Minister Modi (@narendramodi)
• Malaysian President Anwar (@anwaribrahim)
• Philippine President Marcos (@bongbongmarcos)
• Spanish King Felipe VI (@CasaReal)

Conclusion

The price of the TRUMP token surged to $80 billion before retreating to $58 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 would no longer be far off, with presidential tokens representing the most influential individuals in various countries, endorsing and backing cryptocurrencies.

As for investment strategies, there are no shortage of scams related to presidential tokens, and users need to be cautious in their discernment. When the next real opportunity arises, will you choose to be a "reckless" investor, going all in on the new presidential token? Or will you be a "cautious" type, first researching the "reputation" of this 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)?
