Dinner with Trump: Is this the ultimate game for control over cryptocurrencies?
In a bold merger of politics and cryptocurrency, current President Donald Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner on May 22 at his private golf club in Washington, D.C. The guest list? The top 220 holders of his meme coin $TRUMP . The top 25 individuals will enjoy a special reception and VIP tour the following day.
This announcement has led to an increase in the value of $TRUMP by more than 70%, with trading volume surging by 548%. While some see this as a clever marketing move, others raise concerns about the ethics of profiting from access to the presidency.
Notably, cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun claims to be the largest holder of TRUMP$, securing his spot at the dinner. However, after confirmations were sent, nearly half of the qualified individuals - including 17 VIPs - liquidated their holdings, indicating a decline in confidence in the currency's long-term value.
As the cryptocurrency world watches, this event blurs the lines between digital assets and political influence. Is this the future of fundraising, or a step too far?
