TRUMP memecoin soars after Mar‑a‑Lago gala access tied to holdings as whales pile in and volume spikes

5h agoMar 13, 2026, 7:31 PMNewsroom AI

Following an announcement that access to a Mar‑a‑Lago gala would be tied to token holdings, the TRUMP memecoin posted a sharp intraday rise; outlets reported differing peak gains — about 66% overnight per Bankless, roughly 60% per BlockNews and CoinDesk, 35% per Decrypt, and ~32% per AMBCrypto [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

The price move coincided with heavy trading and whale accumulation: BlockNews said trading volume jumped nearly 1,000% and whale wallets picked up millions of TRUMP from Binance, while Decrypt and Cointribune described holders accumulating tokens (including Solana‑based positions) to qualify for exclusive event access. CoinDesk reported a previously dormant investor placed about $7 million into TRUMP and realized roughly $2.5 million in profit within hours of the news [2] [4] [6] [3].

Observers noted the token had hit a new all‑time low just hours before the gala announcement, highlighting the rapid change in market sentiment after the event reveal [1].
