The Trump Coin ($TRUMP) has exploded in value once again, surging as much as 71% after an announcement that President Donald Trump

The price of Trump Coin has surged once again, this time spiking as much as 71% following an announcement that President Donald Trump will host a private dinner for the top 220 holders of the meme token in Washington, D.C.
The event, which is set for May 22 and will be arranged by FightFightFight LLC, will also see the top 25 token holders receive access to a private reception with Trump and a VIP tour of the White House. The dinner is being promoted as a non-fundraising event, with Trump attending “as a guest.”
Those planning to attend the dinner will also be subject to background checks, cannot bring guests, and must not be from countries flagged on Know Your Customer (KYC) watchlists.
The meme token, which is tied to Trump’s political image and namesake, saw its price increase from $9.30 to an intraday high of $16.17 on Wednesday. It has since settled around $13.39, marking its highest value since early March.
The Trump Coin project has come under scrutiny from both lawmakers and the crypto industry over its lack of transparency and potential for foreign influence. Despite this, it has managed to garner attention for its unique concept and potential return on investment.
Just days before Trump’s second inauguration on January 17, the token was launched with an initial price of $1.07. Since then, it has seen its value triple as interest in the project grew among meme coin traders.
However, despite its recent price action, Trump Coin has been plagued by rumors and deception. According to reports, insiders control around 80% of the token’s 100 billion total supply, and the identities of many top holders remain largely unknown.
The involvement of the Trump family in the crypto space has also been a subject of interest and speculation. In addition to the $TRUMP token, First Lady Melania Trump launched her own $Melania coin, and the president has been linked to Liberty One Financial, a digital asset venture focusing on stablecoins.
While Trump’s dinner invitation may be an unusual way to energize the meme coin community, it does raise questions about financial transparency and ethics in the cryptocurrency domain. Nonetheless, the market has spoken, and Trump Coin is once again in the spotlight.
