Trump is gearing up for another crypto gala, doubling down on his unexpected role as crypto’s most viral meme mascot.
What's the Scoop?
- Second Gala: Last month, President Donald Trump's memecoin went soaring following the announcement of a second exclusive gala promotion, which the official GetTrumpMemes X account advertised what it boldly declared, "The Most Exclusive Crypto and Business Conference in the World." According to the event's linked website, invitations will go to the top 297 holders of the TRUMP token based on a leaderboard
- Extended Deadline: Although the promotion was initially scheduled to track participants’ time-weighted average holdings of the token from March 12 and April 10, the deadline was extended today (for no apparent reason) until April 14.
- Exclusive Swag: According to a GetTrumpMemes post, conference attendees will receive one Trump fragrance, one commemorative poster, one collectible trading card, and one "fight fight fight" red beauty watch (in addition to a gourmet lunch with the President).
- Attendance Unknowns: As reported by The Block, President Trump is also scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., on the same day as his memecoin conference. Terms of the gala allow for organizers to reschedule or cancel it at their discretion, but a spokesperson for the conference confirmed to the outlet that Trump is expected to attend both events.
