The main guest of this dinner is reportedly the former holder of his personally related meme coin $TRUMP.

At the same time, the Trump family is also actively expanding its business footprint in the cryptocurrency space, including co-founding the family-related exchange World Liberty Financial (WLF) last year and issuing a stablecoin called USD1. The focus of the dinner, $TRUMP memecoins, was issued by Trump-related entities a few days before the president's inauguration. According to CoinMarketCap.com data, the meme coin's market cap soared to nearly $15 billion shortly after its launch in January and is currently around $2.9 billion. According to market analysis firms such as Inca Digital, the top 220 $TRUMP holders have invested a total of more than $140 million in tokens to qualify for the dinner. Together, Fight Fight LLC and The Trump Organization-related CIC Digital LLC reportedly control 80% of the total supply of the memecoin, while the Trump family and their supporters have collected more than $300 million in transaction fees through $TRUMP memecoin's trading activities. Ethical Storm: Lawmakers Criticize 'President-Level Corruption' Trump's cryptocurrency dinner and related fundraising activities quickly raised ethical concerns about using the presidency for personal gain and rent-seeking power. Democratic lawmakers reacted strongly, with Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Representative Adam Schiff of California pointing to a clear conflict of interest and a "sale of presidential contacts." Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal went even further: "Unprecedented presidential cryptocurrency corruption." The anonymity of the identities of some of the participants further heightened suspicions. In response to these serious ethical allegations, some members of Congress have actively pushed for relevant legislation. For example, former Maxine Waters, former chair of the House Financial Services Committee, has introduced the Stop Trading, Retention, and Unfair Market Return of Cryptocurrencies Act (Stop TRUMP Act) in an effort to prevent similar potential conflicts of interest from recurring. From the astonishing wealth created by $TRUMP memecoins, to the ensuing "paid game" (pay-to-play) and concerns about potentially inappropriate foreign influence, this chain of events highlights the growing tension between the president's personal financial interests and his public duties, and is expected to have a profound impact on the regulatory direction of the cryptocurrency industry and the regulation of political contributions.
