May 22 will go down in the history of cryptocurrency. That day, the blockchain shook. Bitcoin's price once approached $110,000. A private dinner with Donald Trump and 220 meme coin investors. Smiles all around the exquisite dishes. Outside the dinner, various accusations arose. "Corruption", "pay-to-play", "scandal". The atmosphere of cryptocurrency was both lively and controversial.

Trump in the cryptocurrency field: They want to marginalize him, but he joined in.

In Washington, a bill aims to prohibit Trump from using cryptocurrency. This may be a political maneuver. But does it prove that his influence in the field is rising? Certainly. Because the president not only did not back down but also stood his ground. On May 22, he hosted a dinner at Trump National Golf Club. Entry requirements? Only $TRUMP memecoin holders. The 220 biggest buyers were invited to attend.

Event tickets sold out. Guests from around the world each invested up to $18 million. Just for this entry ticket, a total of $148 million was injected into meme coin. The event was lavishly decorated: lemon-sized halibut, filet mignon, and Fawna chocolate. Donald Trump, dressed in a blue suit and red tie, greeted the audience and talked about his victory in 2024.

The story of a special banquet

Conditions? Very strict. Each guest had to undergo a background check. The names of the 220 winners were displayed on a golden plaque. Who was the most generous? Chinese cryptocurrency tycoon Justin Sun invested 1.3 million $TRUMP tokens. Current value: $18 million.

Outside the golf club, protesters shouted slogans. Inside the club, cutlery clinked, smiles were abundant, and selfies echoed. Power is changing its appearance. Now, it has a QR code.

It seems that every area Trump has ventured into in the cryptocurrency field has turned into windfall. It is said that the $TRUMP memecoin has generated over $100 million in revenue. The bitcoin mining startup he supports is going public on Nasdaq. Should we believe that this former president has the ability to turn things into gold? One thing is certain: he knows how to convert a political audience into digital capital.
