What to know:

  • After five months of total silence, a dormant crypto wallet suddenly bought roughly 2.2 million TRUMP tokens on Thursday, signaling a massive vote of confidence from a major investor.
  • The token’s 60% price spike followed the announcement of an April 25 gala and luncheon at Trump’s Florida estate, an exclusive event open only to the top 297 token holders.
  • While the news sparked a major daily rally, the token is still down roughly 96% from its January 2025 peak of $74, illustrating the extreme risks of the memecoin market.

A crypto wallet that sat dormant for five months woke up Thursday to accumulate more than $7 million worth of TRUMP tokens as the U.S. president-linked memecoin's official team announced a second gala event for top holders — sending the token surging more than 60% from its all-time low.

Onchain data from Arkham Intelligence shows the wallet began buying the tokens from Binance's hot wallet starting at 01:49 UTC on March 13, hours after the gala was announced. The wallet accumulated roughly 2.2 million TRUMP across four transactions: an initial single-token test buy, followed by two purchases of about 1 million tokens each, worth a combined $6.23 million, and a further 200,000-token buy worth $742,000.

The TrumpMeme account on X announced a conference and gala luncheon at Mar-a-Lago on April 25. The event is open to the top 297 TRUMP holders by time-weighted average balance between the announcement date of March 12 and April 10.

TRUMP dropped to a record low near $2.71 earlier Thursday before spiking to $4.50, then pulling back to around $3.90 — still a gain of roughly 44% from the trough. The wallet was up approximately $2.47 million on its position at the time of publication, with total holdings valued at $9.44 million, per Arkham data.

The new event echoes the dinner held at Trump National Golf Club in May 2025, which drew criticism from lawmakers and ethics watchdogs over presidential access as a token-holding incentive. A disclaimer on the new event's website states Donald Trump will appear in a personal capacity with no private meetings.

TRUMP has fallen roughly 96% from its all-time high of around $74, set just before Trump's inauguration in January 2025.

Altcoins Poised to Benefit from SEC’s New ETF Listing Standards

Altcoins Poised to Benefit from SEC’s New ETF Listing Standards

The post Altcoins Poised to Benefit from SEC’s New ETF Listing Standards appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) took a landmark step in crypto regulation, approving generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs (exchange-traded funds). This new framework eliminates the case-by-case 19b-4 approval process, streamlining the path for multiple digital asset ETFs to enter the market in the coming weeks. Grayscale’s Multi-Crypto Milestone Sponsored Grayscale secured a first-mover advantage as its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) received approval under the new listing standards. Products that will be traded under the ticker GDLC include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. “Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund $GDLC was just approved for trading along with the Generic Listing Standards. The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi-crypto asset ETP to market with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano,” wrote Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg. The approval marks the US’s first diversified, multi-crypto ETP, signaling a shift toward broader portfolio products rather than single-asset ETFs. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas explained that around 12–15 cryptocurrencies now qualify for spot ETF consideration. However, this is contingent on the altcoins having established futures trading on Coinbase Derivatives for at least six months. Sponsored This includes well-known altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), and Chainlink (LINK), alongside the majors already included in Grayscale’s GDLC. Altcoins in the Spotlight Amid New Era of ETF Eligibility Several assets have already met the key condition, regulated futures trading on Coinbase. For example, Solana futures launched in February 2024, making the token eligible as of August 19. “The SEC approved generic ETF listing standards. Assets with a regulated futures contract trading for 6 months qualify for a spot ETF. Solana met this criterion on Aug 19, 6 months after SOL futures launched on Coinbase Derivatives,” SolanaFloor indicated. Sponsored Crypto investors and communities also identified which tokens stand to gain. Chainlink…
