While Trump’s team did not publish an official guest list, social media posts and blockchain data helped confirm several attendees.
The guests described the event as a rare convergence of global crypto players, many of whom flew in from Asia and Europe. Liu of Kronos said:
“Hearing President Trump affirm his support for crypto in person is both inspiring and deeply motivating.”
Meanwhile, photos shared on social media revealed a luxury dinner featuring halibut, filet mignon, and a signature organic salad named after Trump.
Additionally, the token balances among top holders declined from 11.3 million to 7 million post-dinner.
Senator Chris Murphy called the gala “corrupt” and demanded that Trump release the official guest list if the dinner was legitimate.
“Trump’s meme coin is designed to facilitate corruption. You can pay Trump secretly, which gets you secret special access to the President. If Trump’s dinner with the top coin buyers was legit, he would release the list of attendees. But it’s corrupt. So the list stays hidden.”
