Whether it’s fandom or FOMO, one thing’s clear: this isn’t your average campaign fundraiser.

Trump announces a gala dinner for memecoin holders

After weeks of turbulence and a record low sparked by tariff-driven uncertainty, the TRUMP memecoin came back to life following a headline-grabbing announcement from President Trump himself.

The President revealed that the top 220 TRUMP holders as of the 12th of May would receive invitations to an exclusive Gala Dinner, while the top 25 would be treated to a private White House tour and reception. The news set off a buying frenzy, sending TRUMP surging as high as 65%.

“FOR THE TOP 25 COIN HOLDERS, YOU are Invited to an Exclusive Reception before Dinner with YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT! PLUS, We have separately by us arranged for a Special VIP White House Tour for you – so make sure you stay in town…”

Supporters believe this is more than just a publicity stunt. They see it as a sign of Trump’s ongoing crypto-friendly stance.

He has reportedly rewarded blockchain firms that donated to his inauguration, and claims that Trump once tipped off attendees of a past crypto dinner about the TRUMP coin’s launch, only to get louder with each passing day.

Interestingly, with a $307 million token unlock now delayed by 90 days, many see the stage being set for a calculated pump… or an insider’s dream.

From rock bottom to rocket launch

Just two months ago, TRUMP was scraping its all-time low at $11.07, weighed down by macroeconomic doubts and market fatigue.

Fast-forward to the 23rd of April, and the coin saw a vertical explosion, spiking to $13.60 before correcting to $11.80, still a solid 60% leap from recent stagnation.

Trading volumes skyrocketed, and the RSI hit 70 before easing to 62.11, suggesting overbought conditions cooled off slightly. OBV surged as well, hinting at renewed investor interest.

Whales are at the table

Post-announcement, whales have been diving deep into TRUMP.

One address moved a jaw-dropping $5 million USDC to scoop up over 407,000 TRUMP at $12.27, while another transaction revealed a single wallet receiving $2.8 million worth of tokens in one go.

These moves are no coincidence—they’re deliberate and calculated responses to Trump’s dinner invite announcement. The on-chain activity reveals intense FOMO among wealthy investors, driven by hype and potential political connections.

The takeaway is clear: major players are vying for a spot at that exclusive dinner.
