After enduring a challenging period marked by a 90% decline and the community’s loss of faith, Trump finally emerged and made a statement on his coin. This caused it to surge by over 60% to $14 from its initial low of $7. With Solana meme coins climbing quietly again, can we see $Trump go back to its ATH, and what is it that made everyone so excited to buy the meme coin?
Is Trump Crypto Dinner a positive catalyst for the coin, or will the hype die?
President Trump, on April 24, 2025, announced that he will hold a private dinner for the top 220 holders of the token community, with the top 25 getting an exclusive reception before dinner from Trump and a tour of the White House.
This announcement was received positively by the community, and the $Trump coin pumped over 60% on this news, with approximately the current #220 holders of the Trump coin on the Solana chain holding $555k. People are asking, are these big whales buying to meet the president, or is it just community hype?
According to crypto researcher Kaiko’s analysis of blockchain data, wallets holding less than $100,000 worth of TRUMP tokens dominated activity on Wednesday. Larger wallets maintain more consistent activity and have recorded their highest daily trading volume on centralized exchanges since mid-February.

After that move, there was a lot of criticism for the president, saying that it was a conflict of interest and could be a form of pay-to-play; however, Anna Kelly, the White House deputy press secretary, said, “President Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.”
This is not the first time President Trump has done something like that; back in 2023, he hosted an exclusive dinner for his NFT holders at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida for individuals who purchased at least $4,700 worth of his “Trump Cards. It seems like this is his own strategy to make use of his created digital assets, and it seems to be working to get the community excited again.

With memecoins quietly rising and $TRUMP making a comeback, it’s a good time to look for something new and unique, and maybe combine two hot narratives to make the best profit. $FEPE, or FantasyPepe, seems to be doing exactly that.
