As the meme coin dinner with President Trump approaches, it appears as if most of the attendees will be people from other countries.
Many wallets for the top holders are tied to international exchanges like Binance that don't service U.S. customers.
The nature of the anonymous wallets raises questions about the true identities and motivations of the token's largest holders.
With Trump’s private dinner for top meme coin holders less than a week away, the leaderboard is awash with crypto wallets that are effectively anonymous.
On May 22, the top 220 $TRUMP holders are invited to a dinner with the president at his Virginia golf club outside of Washington, DC. The event was announced last month, and the tally closed Monday night.
The nature of the pseudonymous wallets raises questions about the true identities and motivations of the token's largest holders, who have bought a seat at the table with a US president.
Documents from blockchain analytics firm Inca Digital that were reviewed by CNBC show where the top 275 $TRUMP token holders send and receive the token. Many are heavily tied to international exchanges like Binance that don't service US customers, an indication that they're likely not US citizens.
An analysis by Bloomberg revealed that 19 of the top 25 wallets are almost certainly owned by individuals operating outside the US.
Any curiosity or reservations about this in-your-face using the office of the president to get even richer? Any desire to know who’s going to be this table? And why?
One thing is for certain. The most successful business of Trump’s life operates out of the Oval Office. With GOP complicity.
