The exclusive Trump dinner for the top 220 meme coin holders is scheduled to take place on May 22 at 7:00 PM. Here are some of the names reportedly attending. According to an email sent to invitees, guests are expected to arrive at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. around 5:30 PM local time, with dinner scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM. The dress code requires formal attire, including “Evening Dress for Ladies.” Before attending the invite-only dinner, all guests were required to pass a background check. According to a report from Bloomberg, the top 25 holders will be given a tour of the White House. In total, there are 220 TRUMP (TRUMP) meme coin holders eligible to receive an invite to the exclusive dinner with the President of the United States. However, the exact number of attendees is still unknown.

Sun confirmed via his official X account that he will be attending the exclusive dinner at the White House after receiving his invitation. “As the top holder of $TRUMP, I’m excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry,” said Sun in his post.

The firm confirmed its attendance via a public post. Established in 2024, the firm aims to build a blockchain for meme coins created as jokes without any inherent value. MemeCore’s chief business development officer Ting Hsu told Fortune that the startup’s anonymous founder will attend the dinner on May 22. Another notable figure on the list is Australian crypto investor Kain Warwick, as revealed by The New York Times. While not among the top 25 holders, Warwick is the founder of the crypto exchange Infinex. When he first purchased the meme coins, he admitted through a post that he wasn’t sure whether they were legitimately linked to the President of the United States. He eventually invested money into the tokens after verifying they were real. Additionally, Bloomberg reported that Danish crypto trader Morten Christensen and four of his trading friends managed to secure a spot on the invite list. He said they each spent just $1,200 to make the cut. Christensen explained their strategy: buy TRUMP meme coins, short the same amount, then sell the tokens and close the short positions immediately after the dinner winners were announced on May 19. At press time, the official Trump meme coin is up more than 8.8% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading at $14.41. Over the past month, the token has surged nearly 75%. However, it still trades nearly 80% below its all-time high of $73.43. Its market cap has grown to over $2.8 billion.

After soaring to a record high of nearly $112,000, Bitcoin has slipped amid a wave of profit-taking, rising geopolitical tension, and cautious signals from the Federal Reserve. The 7% dip, while notable, comes in the context of a broader rally driven by surging demand for spot ETFs and a tightening supply. With Bitcoin (BTC) adoption accelerating—companies like GameStop and Trump Media adding it to their treasuries—and daily mining output capped at just 450 coins, the recent pullback may simply be a pause in what many investors view as a longer-term structural uptrend. Consider the numbers: Bitcoin dropped to below $104,000 on Saturday, down by 7% from its all-time high of $111,900. Source: CoinGecko This decline is happening as investors book profits after it jumped by 50% from its lowest point in April to its highest level this month. It is common for Bitcoin and other assets to drop after such a strong rally.  Bitcoin also dropped as concerns about trade rose. Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, said that talks between the U.S. and China had stalled, while Trump accused China of not honoring its commitments. He also said that the U.S. would increase its tariffs on steel and aluminium to 50%.

Instead, they are having a wait-and-see approach as they observe the impact of tariffs on the economy.  Fortunately, Bitcoin has strong supply and demand dynamics. Demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs is rising, with the cumulative inflows rising to over $44 billion. Companies like Trump Media and GameStop have started buying Bitcoin for their treasury. At the same time, the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges has dropped by 57% from its highest point in March 2020, and the decline is accelerating. Bitcoin’s supply has dropped from 3.22 million to 1.37 million in the same period.  This supply crunch may keep falling since only 450 coins are mined daily, and a company like Strategy is buying thousands a week. The supply held by miners has dropped to 1.74 million, its lowest level since 2010. Therefore, the supply and demand dynamics mean that the coin will continue rising.

Also, it has formed a bullish flag pattern, a popular continuation sign in technical analysis. The Bitcoin price has formed a cup-and-handle pattern and is currently in the handle phase. The depth of the cup is approximately 32%, which implies a target price of $144,650. This target is calculated by measuring the depth of the cup from its upper edge.

Bullish, a crypto exchange backed by Peter Thiel, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, joining a growing wave of digital asset firms looking to tap public markets. Peter Thiel-backed crypto firm Bullish has confidentially filed for an IPO in the United States, according to people familiar with the matter. The filing was made with the Securities and Exchange Commission in recent weeks, as reported by the Financial Times. Jefferies is set to serve as the lead underwriter for the upcoming offering. This marks Bullish’s second attempt to go public after a failed SPAC merger in 2021. The deal collapsed the following year amid a downturn in the stock market caused by rising interest rates in the U.S. You might also like:“No need to go public:” Tether brushes off IPO talk post Circle debut Bullish’s filing comes as a growing cohort of crypto firms is entering public markets.

Gemini, the exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, filed confidentially for an IPO earier this month. Uphold, another U.S.-based digital asset platform, is currently weighing an IPO. On the flip side, Tether, which issues the world’s largest stablecoin Tether (USDT) isn’t planning to join the IPO rush. CEO Paolo Ardoino recently said there’s “no need to go public,” pointing to the company’s strong profits and a focus on long-term growth instead of listing.

After a sharp 75% rally, SUI is now showing signs of exhaustion as it approaches a key resistance area. Although the trend remains bullish, technical indicators suggest a healthy pause may be on the horizon before the next leg of expansion. The impulsive nature of SUI’s (SUI) recent rally reflects strong bullish momentum. However, price is now facing clear rejection from a resistance zone where both the range high and the 0.618 Fibonacci level are stacked in confluence. This zone is not arbitrary, it was previously established as a structural ceiling, and the current failure to break cleanly through it forms what appears to be a swing-failure pattern (SFP). This adds weight to the idea that a short-term pullback may unfold as part of a larger trend continuation. Key technical points, Major Resistance:Confluence of 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and range high Support Levels to Watch:$2.70 to $2.40 (range mid and VWAP support region) Trend Structure:Potential wave 3 expansion in play after corrective move SUIUSDT (1D) Chart Source: TradingView A potential short-term pullback would be technically healthy, providing an opportunity for a higher low to form. Key zones to monitor for this include the VWAP support region, the range mid, and the 0.618 retracement level, this time acting as support on the way down. These areas serve as the most probable launch points for the next leg higher, potentially initiating a wave 3 expansion in the broader bullish structure. You might also like:XRP must break the $2.50 cluster of resistance to trade higher It’s also important to recognize that the market is entering a phase of balance, where buyers and sellers are competing around key levels. This kind of indecision often precedes a volatility breakout, especially following a strong impulsive move. Traders should watch for volume spikes and candle formations near support for early clues. Notably, while the recent rally was strong, volume has started to taper, further supporting the case for either consolidation or a correction. Price is currently trading within a defined range between $2.70 and $2.40 and is likely to remain in this rotational zone until one of these levels breaks convincingly with volume. What to expect in the coming price action For now, traders should remain patient. The structure of the pullback, if it occurs, will provide critical clues as to whether the next move is another explosive rally or a deeper retracement. A break and hold above the swing high would invalidate the pullback thesis, while a bounce from support would set the stage for further upside. Read more:Why is Bitcoin price stuck in a tight range?

纽约州一名议员提交了一项法案，敦促州选举委员会研究如何利用区块链技术在美国选举期间保护选民的数据。 根据纽约州议员克莱德·瓦内尔（Clyde Vanel）的正式文件，议会法案AA7716旨在研究如何利用区块链保护选民个人记录以及保障选举结果。 截至发稿时，该法案正在议会选举法委员会审议中，等待立法投票。一旦获得通过，该法案将提交至议会和州一级，最终由州长审核批准。 根据该法案，纽约选举委员会应进行一项正式研究，评估如何利用区块链技术改善美国选举，特别是保护选民记录并确保选举结果的透明度。 该法案授权纽约州选举委员会与信息技术服务办公室合作，并请求区块链技术、网络安全、选民欺诈和选举系统方面的专家提供协助。 您可能还喜欢：美国国会议员将提出一项法案，确保战略比特币储备不会被撤销 如果该法案最终获得通过，纽约州选举委员会必须在法案正式生效后一年内提交研究结果。委员会的研究结果必须包含其他州在选举中实施类似技术解决方案的案例。 作为加密货币和区块链的长期倡导者，瓦内尔最近与马里兰州代表阿德里安·博阿福（Adrian Boafo）合作，推动民主党议员建立联邦加密货币监管框架。早在2017年，他就提交过类似的法案，但最终未能获得通过。 利用区块链技术保障选举安全并非新鲜事。2024年3月，无需许可的零知识注册机构Rarimo推出了一项名为“自由工具”（Freedom Tool）的数字身份协议，旨在通过区块链彻底改变选举制度。 与传统的投票机制不同，自由工具使用区块链技术和身份管理，以确保每次投票匿名且可验证。 2024 年 10 月，格鲁吉亚反对党联合民族运动在议会选举前推出了由 Rarimo 提供支持的身份应用程序 United Space，Rarimo 的自由工具由此被纳入政府选举体系。 该应用程序基于区块链技术，为选民提供了一个无需担心隐私侵犯和潜在选民操纵的系统。它还确保了公民享有传统选举系统无法实现的匿名性。 阅读更多：佐治亚州反对党在选举前推出基于区块链的民主应用程序“联合空间”
