Trump Hosts Crypto Investors at Exclusive Dinner, Signals Support for Industry
In a bold move signaling growing political support for cryptocurrency, former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a private dinner for top investors in his meme coin, $TRUMP, at his golf club. The exclusive event drew over 200 crypto leaders and enthusiasts from around the world.
During his speech, Trump criticized the Biden administration’s approach to crypto, calling it oppressive and harmful to innovation. “The previous administration made life hell. They went after everyone. It was a real disgrace,” he said. Trump reiterated his ambition to make the U.S. the global leader in cryptocurrency.
A highlight of the evening was the appearance of Tron founder Justin Sun, who reportedly bought over $40 million worth of $TRUMP tokens to secure his place at the event. Sun praised Trump’s positive impact on the crypto sector, recalling how just 100 days earlier, the industry was struggling.
Other notable attendees included Erbil Karaman (Huma Finance), Snagrok Oh (Hyperithm), Vincent Liu (Kronos Research), and Yan Liberman (Delphi Digital). While the guest list was kept largely private, several attendees shared updates on social media, marking the dinner as a landmark moment for crypto-politics in the U.S.
