Summary
Exclusive invites to meet President Trump in Washington DC were extended to the top 220 TRUMP coin holders, selected based on significant investments and long-term holding of the cryptocurrency. Among them, Sheldon Xia, founder of BitMart, publicly revealed his status, but most identities remain hidden behind usernames or addresses. Meanwhile, some attendees, including a VIP who sold their TRUMP holdings for $2.5 million, showed eagerness to capitalize on Trump's presence. Analysts warn that this event may trigger selling pressure, potentially hurting the coin's value. Only nine high-performing crypto investors remain invested in TRUMP as of Friday, according to Nansen’s analysis.
