Among the potential guests of the exclusive gala dinner of U.S. President Donald Trump - the 25 largest TRUMP holders - most are not residents of the country. This conclusion was reached by Bloomberg.
The share scheme of the largest TRUMP holders (orange - alleged wallets of non-U.S. residents, blue - residents, hatching - candidates for attending the gala dinner). Data: Bloomberg.
According to the analysis, 19 out of 25 registered TRUMP whales with the largest token reserves used crypto exchanges unavailable to Americans. The same applies to 56% of the top 220 holders. 76% of the total value of these users' tokens is controlled by alleged foreigners.
The most popular platforms among top TRUMP whales were identified by experts as Binance, Bybit, and OKX. All three did not provide services to American users at the time of data collection. In April, OKX announced its return to the U.S. market, however, six of the holders mentioned in the analysis acquired tokens before the exchange's terms were updated.
Experts suggest that residents of the country may have used foreign platforms despite the bans, employing tools like VPNs.
Guests of the gala dinner will undergo additional checks before the event, including a KYC procedure for the TRUMP wallet.
Recall that the U.S. Senate committee on investigations will examine Trump's crypto initiatives for conflicts of interest.
