How Trump’s Gala Dinner Is Fueling the Rise of Themed Memecoins

• Despite high expectations, Donald Trump’s dinner event failed to boost the TRUMP meme coin price.
• New Trump-themed meme coins continue to emerge following each public move or statement made by Donald Trump.
• New meme coin, Trump Dinner (DINNER) surged by 1013%, reaching a market cap of $65.36 million.

The recent gala dinner hosted by the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, for his $TRUMP memecoin failed to spark a price rally for the Official Trump (TRUMP) token. However, it has ignited a new trend: the emergence of themed cryptocurrencies associated with high-profile events and personalities.   

The coins do not show much of their intrinsic utility, but are still in hype because of their cultural or political capital, because of their namesakes. The coins mostly experience volatility due to news cycles, social media trends, and promotional events. 

Taking the $TRUMP token as an example, the news of a dinner for top investors with Trump changed the token from a speculative asset to a popular memecoin. And, event-driven coins like this primarily capitalize on the exclusivity and having direct access to prominent figures. 

These types of events also show how themed cryptocurrencies gain popularity not because of the traditional financial value, but just because of narrative appeal. The coins are easy and fast to create, and the creators have understood the algorithm. 

Creators would not like to miss the opportunity to create a themed cryptocurrency where the success comes from popularity, social media attention, exclusivity, and emotional appeal. The Trump dinner has clearly shown that having enough attention can make a coin highly desirable if associated with an exclusive or headline-grabbing event, even if it does not hold a clear function.  

Despite the high expectations from the $TRUMP coin, the overall circulation fell from 11.3 million to 7 million post-dinner. At the press time, the token is 4.54% down and trading at $13.94. The reason associated with this can be the decreased interest of the investors post-dinner. 

The investors were highly excited by the news of the dinner that led to skyrocketing of the price but somehow decreased after the event occurred in real. 

The Tied Concerns 

On the other hand, the concern is always tied to the sustainability and investor protection, as they somehow lack a fundamental value. Some policymakers have also shown concerns over conflicts of interest and the lack of transparency in such offers.  

As this event can lead to innovation and community excitement, it can also invite risk. Most of the themed coins are also prone to pump-and-dump schemes. Once the attention to the event dissolves, the coin’s relevance also witnesses a downtrend. And, the late investors eventually hold the bag. 

As politics, celebrity, and crypto continue to run into one another, themed coins will also continue to emerge from this convergence. And, the coin will take birth not from a whitepaper but from a headline. 

Some of the popular theme based cryptocurrencies residing in the market are Trump Dinner, Brett, Toshi, Degen, Ponke and many more. And these are grabbing investors attention due to its popularity and may also face a downtrend as some market news can drag it negatively in the future.
