President Donald Trump’s meme coin has skyrocketed on Wednesday following an announcement that the top 220 $TRUMP holders can join the US president for a black-tie dinner in Washington, DC. 

$TRUMP jumped as high as $14.44 before settling in the $13 range, representing a more than 40% increase in the last 24 hours. Among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, the meme coin is the best performer.

According to the meme coin’s website, the top holders will be invited to join the US president for a gala dinner on May 22 at his private Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC.

In addition to the dinner, the top 25 token holders will be welcomed for a reception and a special VIP White House tour. “At this intimate private dinner, hear first-hand President Trump talk about the future of crypto,” the website states.

The top holder of the meme coin is the official Trump team allocation address, which has 800 million tokens. To get an invite to the party, investors should know this: the 220th top holder owns 27,946 $TRUMP coins valued at almost $374,000, per on-chain data sourced from blockchain explorer Solscan. And to reach the VIP level? Right now, the 25th top holder has 1,072,803 tokens worth $14 million.  

Launched in January when crypto industry leaders attended the Crypto Ball, the cryptocurrency has become the fourth-largest meme coin by market cap at nearly $2.7 billion, trailing dogecoin, shiba inu, and pepe.

Last week, $TRUMP faced a 40 million token unlock. However, the project’s organizers revealed today on X that the initial $TRUMP token unlock would be delayed by 90 days, keeping the supply steady at 200 million tokens.

Ripple launches treasury platform to manage cash and cryptocurrencies

Ripple, the firm closely tied to the fifth-largest cryptocurrency, XRP, introduced a new treasury platform for digital asset and traditional cash management for users like financial officers, treasurers, and accountants. 

Ripple’s move comes more than three months after it acquired treasury software provider GTreasury for $1 billion, one of several steps to grow the firm’s position in corporate finance.

Combining Ripple’s blockchain rails and GTreasury’s software, the new platform’s goal is to simplify treasury operations. It eliminates settlement delays with payment times of three to five seconds and optimizes yield from working capital 24/7 through tokenized money market funds such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and overnight secure repo markets with RLUSD, according to a Tuesday blog post. 

Ripple Treasury also aims to provide “real-time cash positions, automated forecasting, and seamless reporting across traditional cash, digital assets, RLUSD, and XRP holdings,” the blog post stated.

Last year, Ripple filed its national banking license application with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, while the firm’s subsidiary Standard Custody & Trust Company applied for a Federal Reserve master account, which would allow Ripple to hold RLUSD reserves directly with the Fed.

XRP has seen $2.4 billion in trading volume in the last 24 hours, increasing 1.8% in the period. The token’s all-time high was set in July 2025 at $3.65. Meanwhile, spot XRP ETFs had nearly $9.2 million worth of inflows on Tuesday, bringing cumulative inflows to $1.4 billion.
