Elon Musk Registers ‘America Party’ with Election Commission

Musk’s ‘America Party’ registration boosts meme coin market, highlighting crypto’s role in political events.

Elon Musk has formally registered the ‘America Party’ with the US Federal Election Commission on July 6, 2025. Announced on his X platform, Musk emphasized the party’s aim to restore public freedom in governance.

The market response was immediate following Musk’s announcement. The Solana-based meme coin ‘America Party (AP)’ surged over 150%, achieving a $10 million market cap. This activation showcases the speculative nature of crypto markets in response to political developments. Elon Musk noted, “We see the immediate impact on the meme coin market following the announcement.”

The launch of Musk’s political endeavor has stirred conversations about potential financial implications but official funding details are pending. Other meme tokens also debuted, although none carry direct endorsements from Musk himself.

Market analysts note the speculative rise in meme coins may not lead to sustained growth due to historical precedents of similar booms tied to political narratives. Attention remains on how these developments might influence policy and cryptocurrency regulations.

Without any records of institutional investment or significant liquidity shifts in mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH or BTC, it remains speculative how this political move will affect broader financial ecosystems. While engaging, this surge underscores the volatility of politically-driven meme coins.
