The top 25 holders would also receive an ultra-exclusive VIP reception and a special tour. The coin rose more than 50% following the announcement, trading at about $14.70, before settling at $12.30 in early trading. Despite this increase, the coin&#8217;s value remains far below its peak of $75 shortly after Trump&#8217;s inauguration. This move comes amidst Trump&#8217;s increasing involvement in the cryptocurrency sector, including the hiring of David Sacks as a crypto tsar and the launch of a crypto platform called World Liberty Financial. Additionally, Trump Media and Technology Group plans to collaborate with Crypto.com on investment products linked to crypto. The deregulation of the cryptocurrency sector has raised concerns among congressional Democrats and watchdogs about potential risks to investors and the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The value of Donald Trump&#8217;s meme coin, $TRUMP, surged significantly after an announcement that the top 220 holders would be invited to a private gala dinner with the president.
