Crypto’s latest ’democratic’ asset proves wealth concentrates faster than a Trump rally crowd. The $TRUMP token—a meme coin with more volatility than policy positions—has left 762,000 wallets holding bags while a mere 58 traders cash out profits.

Who said crypto was about financial equality? The numbers scream otherwise: less than 0.01% of holders are winning, while the rest learn the hard way that ’buying the dip’ only works if you’re the one selling the top.

Another day, another reminder that the house always wins—even when the house is a decentralized casino.

Trump Memecoin Price Sparks 648% Surge: How $TRUMP Is Boosting Solana Price

The $TRUMP token has been on a rollercoaster lately, with sharp price swings, driven by hype around an exclusive dinner for the top 220 token holders teased by President Trump.

Interest in the TRUMP token shot up over 50% after Trump promised the “gala dinner,” which pushed the token’s market cap to a peak of $2.7 billion, and has since cooled down to $2.17 billion.

762K Wallets Lose, 58 Whales Make $1.1 Billion

According to a latest CNBC report, Data from Chainalysis shows that around 762,000 wallets that bought the $TRUMP memecoin suffered losses and are currently in the red. Most of these wallets held smaller amounts of the token. 

The profits were mostly enjoyed by a few early whales as they grabbed the lion’s share. 58 lucky wallets managed to gain over $10 million each, totaling roughly $1.1 billion in profits. Since that rally, about 54,000 more wallets have bought the coin, bringing the total to 100,000 new wallets since April.

The dinner hype is driving big moves, as a newly created wallet withdrew 1M $TRUMP ($10.78M) from Binance, while @MemeCore_ORG pulled out 1.39M $TRUMP ($17.8M) for the event, now facing a $2.8M loss.

Conflicts Of Interest 

However, the Trump-branded memecoin and a related crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, are facing heat from regulators and ethics watchdogs over possible conflicts of interest. 

The Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has now launched a probe into the token’s ownership and how it makes money. It mainly centers around the dinner contest, promotional posts from President Trump, and links to foreign investors like a state-backed Emirati fund and Justin Sun. 

President Trump and his allies reportedly made nearly $900,000 in trading fees over just two days after announcing the exclusive dinner. 

Besides, Trump is also holding a $1.5 million per-person “Crypto & AI Innovators” dinner through his super PAC. But there is no requirement to reveal who is buying into the event, which has sparked concerns. Crypto transactions are not publicly disclosed like political donations, which has raised fears of hidden influence from anonymous or foreign backers.
