Political Meme Coins Plunge 6% As Donald Trump And Joe Biden Fail To Mention Crypto In First Presidential Debate

The first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and his would-be successor Donald Trump failed to mention crypto, triggering a 6% plunge in political meme coins over the past 24 hours.

The absence of discussion around crypto was a disappointment to investors after digital lobbyists had raised millions of dollars to contribute to election campaigns, and after Trump had turn pro-crypto and the Biden administration began softening its hardline stance against the industry. 

Multiple crypto-oriented super Political Action Committees (PACs) have raised around $202.8 million from key industry players. Meanwhile, $93.6 million has already been spent by these PACs to influence the elections. Despite this, the crypto space received no mention during the 90 minute debate.

Polls Show Voters Are Not Too Concerned With Crypto

Gallup polls from May show that voters aren’t too concerned about crypto. The US economy in general, high living costs, the federal budget deficit, unemployment and the gap between the rich and the poor were the biggest economic problems that voters are focusing on, according to the polls.

Although voters seem to prioritize other economic issues above crypto, several industry players still believe that digital assets could be a major factor in the outcome of this election. 

Shark Tank billionaire Mark Cuban has warned Biden that his loyalty to the hardline Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler could cost him the White House.

Can Sony and Microsoft bring blockchain to gaming consoles?

Image
Sony and Microsoft are angling to get into crypto gaming. Will they be able to succeed where others in the industry have failed? Sony and Microsoft, two of the biggest names in gaming , have been making significant moves towards blockchain technology in recent years. This is an important development, as it has the potential to not only revolutionize the gaming industry but it could be the Trojan horse that makes blockchain a mainstream possibility. Sony has filed a patent for a system allowing players to transfer digital assets between PlayStation titles using blockchain technology. This would enable unified progress and asset ownership across different games rather than having assets locked to individual games. Sony has also explored tokenizing in-game assets, allowing players to sell and trade them on secondary markets. Leaked documents show that Microsoft is planning to add crypto wallets to Xbox. This would allow players to trade assets across different platforms securely. Micr
