Trump’s $148M TRUMP Meme Coin Gala Ignites Global Attention and Regulatory Scrutiny
Former President Donald Trump hosted an exclusive black-tie dinner for major investors of the $TRUMP meme coin at his Virginia golf club, merging political theater with cryptocurrency finance. The May 22 event at Trump National Golf Club featured Marine One landings and presidential emblems, attracting 220 high-net-worth $TRUMP holders representing $148 million in collective investments. While highlighting crypto’s rising political influence, the spectacle has prompted investigations into potential legal violations, including improper use of official symbols and federal bribery concerns.
