Tron Founder Justin Sun, who holds a staggering 1,176,803 TRUMP tokens, is rumored to be attending a high-profile dinner with Donald Trump. Trump’s invitation to top TRUMP token holders has sparked speculation, especially after Sun shared a cryptic message on his X account.
This article delves into the details of the exclusive event and the likelihood of Justin Sun making an appearance.
Will Justin Sun Attend Donald Trump’s Dinner?
The US President Donald Trump announced the “most exclusive invitation in the world,” sparking widespread enthusiasm. Last day, Trump announced his plans to launch a private gala dinner with the top 220 TRUMP token holders on May 22.
In addition to the dinner party, the invite promises the top 25 holders an exclusive experience, with a private VIP reception with President Trump, and a special tour.
As the leading holder of TRUMP tokens, Tron Founder Justin Sun is set to receive special attention at the gathering. According to data revealed by Lookonchain, Sun holds a total of 1,176,803 TRUMP tokens, worth $14.32M, “ranking #1 on the leaderboard.”
Justin Sun’s Cryptic Message
Adding fuel to the rumors of the Tron founder attending Trump’s dinner, Sun shared a mysterious post on his official X account. The post read, “All in USA.” This has further strengthened the speculations of his possible presence at the party.
TRUMP Token Faces Potential Risks
Following the President’s critical announcement, investors started accumulating the TRUMP coin, triggering a significant price surge. As of press time, TRUMP is valued at $12,75, marking a marginal surge of 2.9%. However, over the past seven days, the token has seen a staggering increase of 70%.
Despite this positive sentiment, analysts fear a potential downfall, as traders may sell their tokens following the dinner. Besides Justin Sun, Donald Trump is also a top holder of the TRUMP token. If Donald Trump sells his holdings, it could significantly impact the token’s price.
As per CoinGape’s TRUMP Price Prediction, the coin is expected to hit a maximum of $18.05 and a minimum of $11.92 in 2025.

Welcome to the US Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.
Grab a coffee to see why Standard Chartered thinks XRP could soon leapfrog Ethereum, how Tether’s institutional pivot might reshape the stablecoin market, and how players like BlackRock, Galaxy Digital, and the Federal Reserve could shape crypto’s next chapter.
Standard Chartered says XRP Set to Outperform, Could Overtake Ethereum by 2028
As global trade tensions intensify, Standard Chartered sees a silver lining for crypto investors, urging them to focus on long-term winners poised to benefit from the disruption.
“Tariff noise creates the opportunity to look for long-term value/pick winners in Digital Assets for the next leg higher. Today we add XRP to that list of winners (BTC and AVAX other identified winners, ETH identified loser). XRP’s core use is as a cross-border and cross-currency payments platform. That part of Digital Assets is undergoing a shift higher in volumes, something we see continuing. By the end of 2028 we see XRP’s market cap overtaking Ethereum’s. That will make XRP the second largest (non-stablecoin) Digital Asset at that time. Keep looking for winners and HODLing those you already own”, Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s Head of Digital Asset Research, in an email to BeInCrypto.
Kendrick also pointed to Bitcoin’s resilience as a signal of what’s to come for the broader crypto market.
“Tariff mess will be over soon, and Bitcoin’s solid performance during the noise tells us a leg higher for the asset class will follow” he said.
He also points out important points about the recent performance of XRP:
“XRP price rose 6x in the two months following Trump’s election victory, the strongest performance among the top 15 digital assets by market cap. This reflected market expectations that the SEC would drop its appeal of a court ruling concerning Ripple, as well as the potential for XRP ETFs to be approved under new SEC leadership.”
But Kendrick believes the fundamentals — not just politics — are driving XRP’s momentum.
“We think these gains are sustainable, not just because of recent leadership changes at the SEC but also because XRP is uniquely positioned at the heart of one of the fastest-growing uses for digital assets – facilitation of cross-border and cross-currency payments. In this way, XRPL is similar to the main use case for stablecoins such as Tether: blockchain-enabled financial transactions that have traditionally been done through traditional financial (TradFi) institutions. This stablecoin use has grown 50% annually over the past two years, and we expect stablecoin transactions to increase 10x over the next four years. We think this bodes well for XRPL’s throughput growth, given the similar use cases for stablecoins and XRPL.”
Tether’s Big Play: Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Targets US Market
Charles Wayn, co-founder of decentralized Web3 super-app Galxe, told BeInCrypto that:
“The news that Tether is planning to launch an institutional-grade stablecoin for the US market is fantastic for the crypto industry. Tether pioneered stablecoins with its first launch over a decade ago in 2014, and its flagship product — USDT — is now the third largest cryptocurrency in the world. Unlike its rival, USDC, USDT has never been formally audited, leading to frequent questions over its balance sheet. Nonetheless, it remains the industry’s favored stablecoin, shown by its market cap of over $144 billion, which is well over double the size of USDC’s $60 billion.”
Wayn believes this move, along with Tether’s push for transparency, positions the company as a future leader in institutional crypto adoption.
“As such, this move, combined with other recent news that Tether is seeking a full audit from a Big Four accounting firm, shows that the company is not only willing to be compliant but also be a leader in institutional adoption. While USDT sadly did not pass the EU’s directive on stablecoins under MiCA, this new product will likely be designed to pass new legislation coming from the US.”
He adds that institutional momentum — fueled by players like BlackRock — reinforces why now is a pivotal moment for stablecoins and broader market stability.
“As such, there is little doubt that USDT will work hard to launch its new product in good time. As we see huge institutions like BlackRock further entering the market with another $66 million purchase of Bitcoin last week, along with the rapid growth of its RWA BUIDL fund, institutional adoption is now taking off rapidly.”

Byte-Sized Alpha
– Analysts warn that a return to Quantitative Easing in 2025 could ignite a massive crypto rally, potentially pushing Bitcoin toward $1 million and sparking a surge in altcoins.
– Zero inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and declining futures interest hint at fading investor confidence, though rising put contracts and positive funding rates point to cautious optimism.
– Galaxy Digital secures SEC approval to reorganize and move toward a May 2025 Nasdaq listing, signaling renewed confidence in crypto amid improving US policy support.

Crypto analyst Master Kenobi has provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, predicting that it could reach a new all-time high (ATH) in 55 days. He revealed what needs to happen for DOGE to achieve this milestone by June, based on his 55-day target.
How The Dogecoin Price Could Reach A New ATH By June
In an X post, Master Kenobi stated that the Dogecoin price will likely reach a new all-time high within approximately 50 to 55 days once it breaks above the trendline he highlighted on his accompanying chart.
The chart showed that the crucial price level DOGE needs to break above, based on this trendline, is $0.15488. The analyst then remarked that a conservative price target for the top meme coin would be $0.90 by June 5-10.
Master Kenobi had made this prediction while alluding to an earlier post in which he indicated that the Dogecoin bottom was almost near. In that post, he stated that the last time DOGE experienced a downturn, there was a 100-day period from the local bottom to the local top. He noted the meme coin is now halfway through a similar timeframe.
In line with this, the crypto analyst expects the Dogecoin price to reach a new all-time high (ATH) during this period, although he admitted that it is unclear whether it will break the psychological $1 level.
Crypto analyst Kevin Capital also suggested that a massive rebound was on the horizon for the DOGE price. In an X post, he stated that everything is going according to plan for Dogecoin. He urged market participants to stay patient, noting that every day that passes is another day closer.
DOGE Traders Remain Undecided At The Moment
In an X post, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade indicated that DOGE traders are currently undecided on the meme coin’s next move. In an X post, he stated that the Dogecoin price structure has been converging into a triangle pattern, indicating market indecision.
He noted that during this period, buyers hesitate to buy high, while sellers are cautious about selling low, leading to conservative behavior on both sides. The analyst added that this pattern typically occurs between a downtrend and an uptrend.
This market indecision currently explains why DOGE investors continue to accumulate and dump their coins at will with no clear sign of active accumulation or a wave of sell-offs. As CoinGape reported, crypto whales recently dumped 570 million DOGE, as the Dogecoin price continues to trade sideways.
