But there were plenty of secondary bets made, too. A string of meme coins were launched, including DWEBATE, DOMALA TRUMPIS, PEPEDENTIAL DEBATES, and WW3, either to lampoon the whole spectacle or to score some of the more memorable jokes. (Many of the meme coin names were not appropriate for a PG-rated blockchain technology newsletter.) When Trump claimed immigrants were “eating dogs” in Springfield, Ohio (falsely, according to the Wall Street Journal), some of PolyMarket's bets paid off handsomely. (This also spawned several new meme coins, such as EATING DOGS AND CATS.)
