By WSJ Staff

Bets that would pay off with a Donald Trump election victory-the so-called Trump trade-are gaining ground early Tuesday.

-- Trump Media & Technology stock $(DJT)$ is up more than 7% in premarket trading, after rallying Monday. The parent of Trump's Truth Social social-media company has been highly volatile in recent weeks, trading as a proxy for election expectations.

-- Bitcoin is over 2% up from Monday's settle, according to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index. The cryptocurrency has risen in recent weeks, fitting with Trump's promise to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet."

-- Dogecoin, a so-called meme token often touted by Trump backer Elon Musk, gained 10%.

Other investments from bonds to the European defense stocks have been tied to Trump's rise in the polls in recent weeks, but there isn't always a clear cause and effect, as Streetwise columnist James Mackintosh explains.
