Okay, buckle up, because this is a fun one. Ever wonder who shows up to a dinner party thrown for holders of a Donald Trump memecoin? Well, things just got interesting. I’m going to walk you through why one particular RSVP is making waves and what it might mean. Trust me, you’ll want to hear this.
So, here’s the deal. Trump’s team announced this shindig for his biggest memecoin supporters, and tracking who’s trying to get in is proving pretty wild. Let’s dive into the mystery guest who just might be crashing the party with a truckload of crypto.
Basically, Trump’s hosting a dinner for the top holders of his official TRUMP memecoin. It’s happening May 22nd at his private golf club near Washington D.C. To get invited, people needed to hold a bunch of TRUMP tokens between late April and mid-May. The more you held, and the longer you held it, the better your rank. Naturally, when they announced this, the TRUMP token price shot up – like 60%! People love a chance to rub elbows, right?
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Someone using the username “Sun” registered for this dinner. And the crypto wallet they linked? It’s massive. We’re talking nearly 1.2 million TRUMP tokens, worth about $14.5 million! That makes it the biggest single wallet registered for the gala so far, dollar-wise.
Here’s the kicker: Blockchain watchers at Arkham Intelligence noticed something else. This wallet address is labeled as belonging to the crypto exchange HTX – specifically, one of their cold storage wallets (that’s like a super secure vault). And guess who’s a big advisor and well-known figure connected to HTX? Yep, Justin Sun, the founder of Tron.
Now, hold on, it could just be a coincidence. Anyone could technically link that wallet if they knew the address and how to connect it on the Trump Meme website. But… Sun is a known Trump supporter and even invested in a Trump-backed project before. So, yeah, eyebrows are definitely raised. I think it’s pretty suspect, personally.
Here’s a funny twist, though. Even with $14.5 million in TRUMP, this ‘Sun’ wallet is only ranked 12th for the dinner invite right now. Why? Because the ranking isn’t just about how much you hold, but how long you’ve held it. It’s kind of like loyalty points. The person currently in the top spot? They ‘only’ have about 400,005 TRUMP tokens, but they must have been holding them for ages to get that weighted value!
Honestly, if it is Justin Sun trying to snag a spot, it kind of fits his style. This is the guy who famously paid almost $5 million just to have lunch with Warren Buffett and bought that conceptual art piece that was literally just a banana taped to a wall. He definitely likes making big, flashy moves.
Oh, and that wallet isn’t just holding TRUMP. It’s got a wild mix – Solana, Bonk, something called Fartcoin (yes, really!), and even the First Lady’s official MELANIA memecoin. The whole stash is worth around $66 million! Talk about diversification, huh?
This all happens as Trump seems to be getting friendlier towards crypto. He’s put some people in charge at agencies who seem more open to the industry. This TRUMP memecoin actually launched right around his inauguration, which definitely caused a stir. Some crypto insiders weren’t thrilled, saying it was a distraction and maybe not great for crypto’s reputation. Then, Melania launched her own coin shortly after.
And get this: for the real high rollers at this dinner – the top 15 TRUMP holders on that ranked list – they get extra perks. We’re talking an “exclusive reception” with Trump himself before dinner and even a “VIP White House Tour,” according to the event site. Fancy!
So, we’ll have to wait and see if “Sun” makes the final cut and who actually shows up. But one thing’s for sure: it’s never boring in the world of crypto and politics colliding,
