The invitation given by U.S. President Donald Trump to those who invested the most in his meme coin TRUMP took place. The event, held at the golf club owned by Trump, had over 200 participants from around the world.
Trump, in his speech here, criticized Biden’s repressive stance towards the cryptocurrency sector and said, “The previous administration made your life a living hell. They chased after everyone. It was really a disgraceful situation.”
According to a recording obtained by the New York Times, Trump stated that the cryptocurrency business makes a lot of sense, saying, “We are honored to work to help everyone here.” The U.S. president reiterated his determination to make the country the world’s cryptocurrency capital.
While the names who attended the dinner were not disclosed, some of them showed that they were there with their posts. The most recognizable name among them was Justin Sun, the founder of Tron. Sun had previously bought more than $40 million for TRUMP to take the first place in the table that determined the participants of the invitation. Taking the podium at the event and taking the microphone, Sun said, "I’m really grateful for what the Trump administration has done for our industry, as the President just said, about 100 days ago, they were going after everyone who was involved in crypto, so much so that it seemed impossible to hold such great events in DC. Now, the entire crypto community is coming together and running crypto activities in the United States, and it’s more amazing than I could have ever imagined in my life. I think I’m a good example of what the President is talking about; When I came here, everyone was going to follow me. “In short, I’m very grateful for everything Trump has done so far.”
Among the other guests were Erbil Karaman, the Turkish co-founder of the South Korea-based crypto-focused asset management company Huma Finance, Snagrok Oh, the CEO of Hyperithm, Vincent Liu, the investment director of the Taiwan-based crypto trading company Kronos Research, and Yan Liberman, the co-founder of the consulting and research company Delphi Digital.
