TRUMP Meme Coin Gala: Deadline Extended
Over the past day, the official TRUMP meme coin has been trading between $2.78 and $2.87 per token as hopefuls jockey for position on the registration leaderboard. The rules originally set the deadline at April 12, but that date was quietly revised and now runs through April 14.
Once the holding window closes, the top 297 contenders, ranked by the highest average TRUMP holdings and or qualifying Trump sneaker, watch, or fragrances purchases, will secure their place.
Based on the TRUMP Leaderboard, the race for Trump Points is being steered by three dominant frontrunners and two closely trailing accounts. VIP Sun sits comfortably in first place with a hefty 2.2 billion points, while VIP 小 x and VIP K are locked in a dead heat for second and third, each holding 1.7 billion points.
Closing out the top five are two users identified by wallet addresses, with VIP DwfUHQ…kQz5 in fourth at 859.6 million points and VIP 69P4RH…hYLQ in fifth with 845.8 million. A few hours ago, onchain analyst and X account Lookonchain remarked, “ Whales are accumulating TRUMP for Trump’s Luncheon.”
Backing it up with Arkham Intelligence screenshots, Lookonchain added, “ Whale 8DHkza withdrew 850,488 TRUMP ($2.4M) from Bybit in the past 2 days. Whale 7EtuAt withdrew another 105,754 TRUMP ($298K) from Binance 17 hours ago and currently holds 1.13M $TRUMP ($3.2M).”
Despite the onchain activity, TRUMP has managed just $107 million in 24-hour trading volume, a surprisingly light showing for all the whale chatter. The upcoming event lands as controversy circles the Trump crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI).
The issue centers on accusations of questionable DeFi transactions, with the Trump-backed venture reportedly using its own WLFI governance tokens as collateral on the Dolomite protocol. It is entirely possible that WLFI investors are also dabbling in the TRUMP meme coin, and if the WLFI team is present, they may find themselves fielding some pointed feedback over those WLFI loan decisions and governance calls.
What makes the Mar-a-Lago event worth watching extends beyond the leaderboard. Attendees will include the kind of money that moves markets, whales who withdrew millions from exchanges in the last 48 hours, holders gaming a time-weighted average, and buyers who stacked watches and sneakers to buy their way into the room.
If WLFI team members show up alongside them, the conversation may turn into governance discussions rather than simple meme coin talk. The dinner table has a way of doing that.
