President Trump Is Hosting Another Exclusive Event for Meme Coin Holders

Summary

The Solana-based TRUMP meme coin surged over 10% on Thursday after it was announced that the top 297 holders would be invited to an exclusive Mar-a-Lago event with former President Donald Trump on April 25. The TRUMP token reached a peak of $3.08 before retreating to $2.92, remaining about 96% down from its all-time high. Eligibility is based on a time-weighted points system favoring long-term holders between March 12 and April 10. The event features a luncheon and keynote speech from Trump, with the top 29 holders granted access to a VIP reception. Attendees must pass background checks; foreign government officials and individuals from certain countries are barred. The first similar event prompted accusations of selling political influence and drew protests and criticism from some U.S. lawmakers. The recent price spike partially recovers losses linked to declining approval ratings for Trump amid conflict in Iran, but TRUMP remains well below previous highs.
