Justin Sun, the founder of the altcoin Tron, is in the spotlight due to his massive $14.3 million investment in the TRUMP memecoin. A wallet associated with Sun has emerged as one of the largest holders of TRUMP coins, particularly ahead of an exclusive gala dinner invitation set for May 22.
Gala Invitation Boosts Interest in TRUMP Coin
Recently, the TRUMP coin has witnessed unprecedented activity in the cryptocurrency market. Investors eager to attend the gala hosted by former U.S. President Donald Trump are flocking to buy the altcoin. The invitations are exclusively available to the top 220 wallets holding the most TRUMP coins.
The wallet allegedly belonging to Sun currently holds approximately 1.176 million TRUMP coins, valued at about $14.32 million. Following the gala news, the price of TRUMP coin surged over 60% within an hour, although it is currently trading at $12.09, reflecting a 0.6% loss for the day.
Rumors about Sun’s participation in the event are escalating, with the entrepreneur teasing the audience through social media. This has further heightened expectations surrounding the gala dinner, which will take place at Trump’s private club in Virginia.

AAPLRecord-Breaking Purchases for TRUMP Coin
The wallet linked to Sun has been steadily accumulating TRUMP coins for the past three months. Following the gala announcement, purchasing activity has intensified considerably. Experts speculate that this wallet may be a standard cold wallet used by an exchange, as participating in the TRUMP leaderboard does not require a transaction that threatens the security of assets.
Just yesterday, 27 separate wallets each purchased over 100,000 TRUMP coins, amounting to approximately $1 million each. The largest single buy occurred for 2 million coins at a cost of $24 million. With these figures, it’s evident how competitive the market has become.
The revenue generated from TRUMP coin transaction fees is also noteworthy. In the past week alone, $1.25 million in transaction fees was funneled into the project, establishing a significant revenue model for the team behind the coin, which is linked to Trump.
Critics, however, are adopting a cautious stance regarding this activity. Concerns are rising that TRUMP coin is being used as a tool for political influence or financial gain, leading to ongoing scrutiny of investment transparency and the project’s ethical boundaries.
