An exclusive dinner for top TRUMP token holders has led insiders to extend their token lockup by 90 days. This unexpected move has stirred debate in the crypto space, with many watching closely as TRUMP tokens remain locked longer than planned, raising questions about the token’s market impact and prospects.
The TRUMP token team recently announced a 90-day extension of the insider lockup period, postponing the issuance of 40 million tokens valued at around $300 million until July. Originally, insiders—including those connected to the Trump family—were supposed to get these tokens this month. Now, only 20% of the whole supply is available for trading, while 80% remains locked under a three-year vesting plan.

This postponement coincided with an exclusive dinner invitation for the top 220 holders, set for May 12 at Trump’s Washington, D.C. club. The announcement triggered a 57% price increase, from $9.19 to $14.51, within hours as investors rushed to buy.
However, critics, including Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, claim that the event blurs the boundary between investment and political access, raising concerns about “pay-to-play” techniques. Despite the lockup, 94% of the tokens are concentrated in just 40 wallets, raising concerns about market instability as the tokens gradually unlock through 2027.
