TRUMP Memecoin Dives 15% as Whales Exit After Exclusive Gala Event
Donald Trump’s namesake memecoin (TRUMP) experienced a sharp 15.23% drop following an exclusive dinner event at his National Golf Course. The token’s value fell from $14.90 to $12.63 overnight, making it one of the worst-performing cryptocurrencies in the top 100.
On-chain data indicates a significant sell-off by major holders, with 40% of the top 220 wallets liquidating their positions during or after the event. This mass exodus points to declining confidence in the token’s fundamentals, as attendees sold off their holdings despite the event’s goal of demonstrating commitment.
Access to the Gala was restricted based on wallet balance snapshots taken weeks earlier, creating incentives for timed exits. The coordinated departure of large holders now leaves the memecoin susceptible to further declines.
