#DinnerWithTrump In a play as bold as it is controversial, former President Donald Trump has announced an exclusive private dinner for the first 200 investors who purchase his cryptocurrency TRUMP Coin, a move that has sparked excitement among his followers as well as debate in the crypto community.

The announcement

The invitation was announced via Truth Social and reaffirmed by the Trump 2024 campaign team. According to the statement, the dinner will take place at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, on a date yet to be confirmed, but is expected to be in the third quarter of the year.

"This is a way to thank the patriots who believe in the vision of restoring the greatness of the United States... and who understand the power of new technologies like cryptocurrencies.

Requirements to attend

To qualify for the dinner, interested parties must:

• Purchase a minimum of $10,000 USD in TRUMP Coin.

• Hold the token in a verifiable wallet for at least 30 consecutive days.

• Register their participation through the official event website, including identity verification.

Additionally, the organizing team has clarified that tickets are non-transferable, and the final list will be verified by external auditors to ensure transparency.

Market reaction

Following the announcement, TRUMP Coin saw a 67% increase in value in less than 24 hours, and its trading volume tripled. Platforms like CoinGecko reported that TRUMP was the most searched token of the day.

For many, the event represents an unprecedented example of how politics and Web3 are beginning to intertwine. Some celebrate it as an innovation in electoral marketing; others criticize it as a way to "buy access" to a presidential candidate.
