Trump-Themed Memecoin Surges 12% Ahead of High-Profile Gala Event

Political meme tokens prove once again they thrive on hype—not utility—as speculation fuels another pump.

No policy debates here: Just pure, unfiltered volatility tied to a man who treats both elections and crypto charts like a casino.

The sudden pump comes right before Trump’s much-hyped Gala Dinner, where top holders of the coin are set to meet him in person. Naturally, the buzz is sending the coin flying.

The event, scheduled for May 22 at the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, is a reward promised last month to the coin’s top holders. Back in April, Trump had announced that the top 220 $TRUMP holders WOULD be invited to an in-person gathering. Now, that promise is about to become reality.

According to an email sent to invitees, the dinner kicks off with arrivals from 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m., which could run as late as 10 p.m. The evening calls for formal attire, and all guests are required to complete a background check before attending.

The identities of most top holders remain pseudonymous, but some have publicly confirmed their attendance. Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain and self-declared billionaire, is among them. “As the top holder of $TRUMP, I’m excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry,” Sun shared on X.

An email promoting the event described it as “a once-in-a-lifetime memorable evening with the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”

With sentiment running high and volume soaring, TRUMP continues to prove how real-world events—and real names—can fuel memecoin momentum.
