Trump to host investors in his cryptocurrency despite ethical concerns

Donald Trump hosted a private dinner on Thursday at his Virginia golf club for 220 top investors in his $TRUMP memecoin.
The event followed Trump's January launch of the $TRUMP memecoin and occurred amid concerns about blending presidential power with personal business interests.
Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur currently under US investigation, is the largest investor in Trump-related crypto projects, having invested $93 million in total, including $20 million specifically in the memecoin.
The top 25 investors received a private session with Trump and a White House tour, while critics called the gala a ‘‘blatant corruption’’ and a ‘‘back door to corruption.’'
The event raised ethical questions about political influence via crypto investments and coincided with Senate advancement of the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins amid rising crypto enthusiasm.
