Trump’s $174M TRUMP Token Gala Sparks Crypto-Political Debate
Former President Donald Trump will host an exclusive dinner for 220 crypto whales at his Washington, D.C.-area golf club on May 22. The event, linked to the $TRUMP meme coin, grants access to top holders who maintained substantial positions to rank on the leaderboard. Critics contend this merges political fundraising with crypto promotion, while supporters applaud the engagement.
Attendees—holding a combined $174 million in $TRUMP tokens—must pass background checks. The initiative has ignited controversy, highlighting tensions between digital asset innovation and regulatory scrutiny.
