US President To Host Exclusive Luncheon For TRUMP Holders April 25 At Mar-a-Lago

Resumen

President Donald Trump will host an exclusive luncheon for TRUMP memecoin holders at Mar-a-Lago on April 25. A total of 297 holders will be selected to attend, with the top 29 qualifying for a VIP reception. Eligibility is based on time-weighted holdings as of April 10, 2026, and holders must maintain their token balance to retain VIP benefits. The event follows a similar gathering last year, though the token’s price has dropped sharply—from between $15–20 during the previous event to around $2.89 now, a decline of approximately 81% from its all-time high of $77. The announcement coincides with ongoing congressional discussions around the CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill expected to be reviewed in April, though its progress may be delayed.

President Donald Trump is preparing to host the second exclusive dinner for holders of his official memecoin, TRUMP, which briefly saw its price surpass $3 following the announcement of the event set for April 25 at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s Upcoming Gala Luncheon

According to the official website for the memecoin, attendees will have the opportunity to “Meet and Learn from 18 of the World’s Most Influential SUPERSTARS.”

This approach is consistent with a strategy employed by Trump’s memecoin team last April, which allowed the top 220 holders of TRUMP from April 23 to May 12 to gain access to a similar event.

In a shift from that earlier strategy, this year, 297 TRUMP token holders will be selected to attend, with the top 29 qualifying for an exclusive VIP reception with Trump and other undisclosed guests.

The website outlines specific criteria for VIP bonus eligibility, which is tied to the holders’ time-weighted TRUMP holdings as of Snapshot Day on April 10, 2026.

Between April 10 and April 26, those whose token balance remains at or above their Snapshot Day level will keep all VIP bonuses. Yet, if a holder’s balance drops below that level, they may still attend the conference and gala luncheon but might lose access to VIP benefits.

However, a significant contrast exists for this year’s event, this time regarding the memecoin’s price compared to last April-May, 2025.

CLARITY Act Review Ahead

When holders attended the previous luncheon, the President’s memecoin was valued between $15 and $20. Now, however, the current price sits around $2.89, indicating a sharp decline of approximately 81% since the previous event announcement.

This price drop is even more concerning when considering that the TRUMP token has yet to approach its all-time high of $77, which was achieved shortly after its launch in June 2025. Should no major bullish catalysts arise leading up to the event, holders may find themselves attending with a token value nearly 97% lower than its peak.

In conjunction with the announcement of the luncheon, the President has also been supportive of the discussions in Congress surrounding the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act), which is expected to be reviewed for approval in April.

Market expert MartyParty disclosed Thursday that Senator John Thune indicated that he doesn’t anticipate the bill will advance out of the Senate Banking Committee before April 2026, citing the need to focus on other legislative priorities at the moment.

Nonetheless, the Senator framed the movement of market structure legislation as something that is still on track to proceed “soon” thereafter.

La Liga Team Bets $1 Million Against Themselves Before Match: Does Using Prediction Markets for Insurance Comply with Sports Regulations?

A Spanish La Liga club, reportedly Osasuna, purchased insurance against relegation and was linked to a transaction of over $1 million on the prediction market platform Kalshi, betting against its own victory in a crucial season-ending match. While Osasuna confirmed buying €1.2 million insurance for a potential €6 million payout in case of relegation through broker Howden, it did not confirm involvement with Kalshi. The reported trade involved intermediaries like Game Point Capital and Greenlight Commodities, with quant firm Susquehanna as the counterparty. This incident highlights the blurring line between financial hedging and gambling in prediction markets. Such markets allow trading on future event outcomes, like sports results. In the US, Kalshi operates as a regulated event contract market under the CFTC. However, Spanish authorities recently initiated penalties against Kalshi and Polymarket, considering their activities unlicensed gambling. The case raises core questions about prediction markets: who can trade, how insider information is handled, and whether participants can influence outcomes, especially in sports where results are human-driven. While leagues like La Liga and Serie A have partnered with Polymarket in North America, the regulatory clash and potential for conflicts of interest, as seen in this club's alleged transaction, present significant challenges as prediction markets evolve toward institutional risk management.

From Shouting 150 Dollars to Liquidating HYPE in Just Three Days, How Much Credibility Does Arthur Hayes Have Left?

How much of Arthur Hayes's market credibility remains? Recently, the "godfather of crypto perpetual swaps" and BitMEX co-founder has faced public criticism, including accusations from on-chain investigator ZachXBT about creating exit liquidity for his followers. Starting last week, Hayes executed multiple sudden sell-offs. He had repeatedly publicly predicted the HYPE token would reach $150. After a $100,000 bet defending Hyperliquid on June 1st, he announced just three days later that he had completely sold his HYPE and NEAR holdings, successfully exiting near the peak. He also sold ZEC and WLD. His sale of WLD appeared to be a classic "pump and dump" maneuver. On June 3rd, he publicly set a $10 target for WLD, causing its price to surge over 35%. By June 6th, he announced he had sold his WLD, citing "anomalous" SpaceX pre-IPO price action, which triggered a sharp price drop. On June 9th, Hayes published a lengthy article explaining his actions, citing factors like rising energy costs and a potential AI bubble burst. Consequently, his family office, Maelstrom, now holds positions in US energy producers and only core crypto assets BTC and ETH, having sold AI-related stocks and non-core cryptocurrencies. This pattern is not new. In 2025, he similarly touted HYPE before selling it at what turned out to be a cycle peak, only to repurchase it at the next cycle's low. Similar scenarios played out with tokens like ETHFI and ENA. Long-term observers have developed a strategy: ignore Hayes's public statements but closely monitor his on-chain actions—be cautious following his buys, but decisively follow his sells. If he continues these tactics, especially as seen with the WLD case, his market credibility risks being permanently damaged. As Hayes himself admitted in his latest article, "I remain an unapologetic gambler."

From Calling for $150 to Liquidating HYPE in Just Three Days, How Much Credibility Does Arthur Hayes Have Left?

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and a prominent crypto figure, is facing scrutiny over his market credibility. Recent on-chain data and public criticism, notably from detective ZachXBT, question whether he uses his influence to create exit liquidity for his followers. Hayes has executed several abrupt sell-offs, including publicly advocating for HYPE to reach $150 before completely selling his holdings just three days later, after which the price dropped sharply. He similarly promoted WLD with a $10 target, only to sell his entire position three days afterward, citing vague concerns about SpaceX's pre-IPO activity and causing a significant price decline. Hayes justifies these moves with detailed macroeconomic analyses, such as a recent essay citing energy costs and AI market risks, explaining his shift into energy stocks and core cryptocurrencies BTC and ETH. However, his pattern of bullish public statements followed by unannounced sell-offs—previously seen with tokens like ETHFI and ENA—has led many investors to adopt a strategy of ignoring his commentary but closely monitoring his on-chain actions for sell signals. Analysts warn that this "cry wolf" pattern risks eroding his market trust, with Hayes himself admitting in a recent article, "I remain an unapologetic gambler."

Fundraising is Like a Strange Dance: The 'Absurd Drama' of Silicon Valley Founders' Capital Raises

The article details a series of absurd and revealing anecdotes shared by Silicon Valley founders about their venture capital fundraising experiences, sparked by Greg Isenberg's story of pitching to a sleeping a16z partner. Founders describe surreal pitch meetings: one faced a barefoot, peanut-eating investor who offered triple the requested amount after 30 seconds; another performed a pitch in a VC's parked car; a founder discovered his audience understood no English beyond "yes." These stories highlight the often irrational and performative nature of fundraising. Beyond the absurdity, darker power imbalances are exposed. Stories include investors suggesting founders fire co-founders for their equity, blatant market misjudgments, disrespectful behavior from LPs, and discriminatory remarks. A debate also emerges around "Sequoia's" practice of splitting a round into two valuations. However, the thread isn't solely critical. Positive counter-narratives celebrate supportive VCs who offered crucial advice during crises, respected founders' timelines, and showed simple gestures of respect—like a partner personally fetching coffee before a major pitch. Ultimately, the collective sharing acts as a pressure release, illustrating that fundraising is a complex dance of power, trust, and sometimes sheer theater. It underscores that beyond capital, mutual respect and integrity remain the most enduring foundations of the founder-investor relationship.

Taiwanese Nodes on the AI Industry Chain: 9 Taiwanese Stock Picks Favored by 'New Stock God' Serenity

Investment analyst Serenity has spotlighted 9 Taiwanese stocks positioned within three key themes of the AI hardware supply chain: CPO (Co-packaged Optics), ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), and Compound Semiconductors. For the CPO theme, anchored by TSMC's COUPE platform expected to mass produce in 2026, Serenity highlighted five stocks: FOCI (fiber array unit supplier), Shunsin Technology (optical packaging & testing), Xintec (wafer-level packaging & testing), MSSCorps (inspection/measurement tools), and Nextronics (connectors & thermal modules). Regarding the ASIC theme, driven by hyperscalers' custom chips, three companies were named: Alchip (design services for AWS), Unimicron (ABF substrates for Google TPU/AWS), and MediaTek (potential collaboration on Google TPU). A singular, strong conviction pick is Win Semiconductor, a compound semiconductor foundry and leader in InP/GaAs, seen as a beneficiary in areas like laser sources for silicon photonics and LEO satellite communications. Serenity argues that current valuations are not in a bubble, geopolitical risks are overstated, and the real systemic risk lies not in cross-strait tensions but in potential future cuts to hyperscaler (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Oracle) capital expenditure—the primary driver of the current AI infrastructure boom.
