Trump’s latest move highlights the growing intersection of politics and crypto, as the former president is set to host a gala luncheon at Mar-a-Lago for the top holders of his TRUMP token.
The issuer behind the token announced that 297 holders will be invited to the lunch on April 25 at Mar-a-Lago, with 29 invited to a VIP tour of the venue. The event marks another high-profile engagement between a political figure and a crypto-themed asset.
The luncheon comes roughly a year after a previous Mar-a-Lago dinner for token holders drew scrutiny from lawmakers who questioned whether Trump could profit from a crypto token while acting in a regulatory capacity.
At the time of the announcement, the TRUMP token briefly surged before trading settled. The token was around $2.98, up about 2% on the day, according to market trackers.
Beyond the optics, the event underscores growing interest in crypto-enabled fundraising and the broader policy conversation around crypto in the U.S. regulatory landscape.
Details about the event, including the attendee list and schedule, have been shared by the token issuer, with the first Mar-a-Lago dinner drawing attention from both supporters and critics.
