Who Will Be at Trump’s Crypto Dinner Tomorrow? And Who is Demonstrating Outside?

The highly publicized digital currency dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump is evolving into a significant cryptocurrency gathering, with invites extended to a Chinese billionaire and Tron creator Justin Sun. On May 22, 2025, the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia will welcome a gala dinner or the “unforgettable evening of a lifetime” for the top 220 holders of Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin. The illustrious guest is none other than Trump himself. What a surprise!

Once faced with a lawsuit from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Sun has confirmed his attendance in the public eye. This comes swiftly after Trump dismissed charges against him. Interestingly, Sun is the primary holder of the $TRUMP coin – valued at $19 million. Additionally, he has poured $75 million into Trump’s World Liberty Financial.

Trump’s Gala Dinner: Blending Politics and Crypto

Several others have also publicly confirmed their participation. MemeCore will be represented, and Australian crypto crypto holder Kain Warwick is also traveling for the occasion. An analysis by Fortune reveals that 18 of the 25 holders of Trump’s memecoin have engaged with the international crypto trading protocol Binance.

This dinner represents the fulfillment of a promise made by Trump in April, when he announced the largest holders of his memecoin would be welcomed to the gala. Online commenters are dubbing this event a noteworthy convergence of politics and digital currency.

Simultaneously, a US Senator is expected to join a demonstration concerning ‘pay-for-access’ issues. Rep. Maxine Waters expressed, “I am extremely worried that Republicans are not only overlooking Trump’s corruption but are normalizing Trump and his family’s attempts to profit from average Americans.”

Not long ago, House Democrats orchestrated a walkout in protest against Trump’s alleged corruption.

With Sun at the forefront, dissent is mounting outside. Trump’s direct engagement in memecoin and now stablecoin activities has raised significant ethical concerns.

US Senator Jeff Merkley will participate in the demonstration organized by ‘Public Citizen’ outside the Trump Golf Club dinner.

Most guests at Trump’s private memecoin dinner this week are likely to be international purchasers, as noted by CNBC.

One of the principal purchasers, Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto billionaire, was facing fraud allegations until they were dismissed by Trump’s SEC.

Call it what it is: corruption.

While Eric Trump has downplayed the protests, a White House spokesperson stated that the President is striving to secure advantageous deals for the American populace, not for his own benefit.

Despite the surrounding controversies, the event is anticipated to become a networking hub for leaders in the crypto asset sector.

Sun is no stranger to prestigious gatherings. In 2019, he famously won a charity lunch with the legendary Warren Buffett for $4.57 million.

Trump’s “crypto dinner” is essentially selling the influence of the US president to the highest foreign bidders.
