TRUMP Meme Coin Triggers National Security Concerns Amid Foreign Holder Dominance
The upcoming TRUMP meme coin event has sparked national security and foreign influence concerns, as blockchain analysis reveals a majority of the token’s largest holders are linked to international crypto exchanges. Over 60% of the guest list for the token’s promotional dinner comprises non-U.S. participants, demonstrating the global nature of meme coin speculation.
While the token has gained significant traction on offshore trading platforms, major U.S. exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.US have not listed it. This situation highlights growing regulatory challenges surrounding politically-themed digital assets with substantial foreign investor participation, particularly those tied to current election cycles.
