$TRUMP Memecoin Gains Traction Amid Political Controversy

The $TRUMP memecoin has resurfaced in market discussions despite facing criticism on Capitol Hill. Unlike typical cryptocurrency success stories, the primary beneficiaries appear to be the token’s creators themselves—a revelation that has raised eyebrows across the sector.

Inca Digital’s analysis reveals a staggering $140 million spent by investors seeking exclusive dinner invitations with former President Donald Trump. The promise of access to a May 12 banquet for top holders triggered a 40% price surge between April 23 and the cutoff date, partially recovering from an 88% collapse in prior weeks.

Entry to this political-financial crossover event came at extraordinary cost. Data shows participants paid anywhere from $53,500 to $16.4 million in token acquisitions to secure their invitations—a premium that underscores the speculative fervor surrounding politically-themed digital assets.
