<\/div>\n

The offer, which caused President Trump\u2019s memecoin to surge in price, was his family\u2019s latest effort to profit from cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

The flashy online announcement<\/a> called it \u201cthe most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the World,\u201d a chance to have \u201can intimate private dinner\u201d with President Trump at his members-only golf club in Virginia, followed by a tour of the White House.<\/p>\n

A seat would be reserved for each of the top 220 investors in $TRUMP, a cryptocurrency that President Trump launched on the eve of his inauguration. <\/p>\n

In an astonishing escalation of the Trump family\u2019s efforts to profit from cryptocurrencies, a website promoting Mr. Trump\u2019s so-called memecoin announced on Wednesday that the coin\u2019s largest buyers would be invited to meet with him. The effort was, in effect, an offer of access to the White House in exchange for an investment in one of Mr. Trump\u2019s crypto ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave Dinner with President Trump and the $TRUMP Community!\u201d the invitation said. \u201cLet the President know how many $TRUMP coins YOU own!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For months, Mr. Trump\u2019s forays into the crypto industry have created ethical conflicts with little precedent in presidential history. As he markets digital currencies to the public, Mr. Trump has also appointed regulators who are scaling back crypto enforcement and called for legislation that would boost the industry\u2019s prospects in the United States.<\/p>\n

As news of the dinner invitation spread on social media, the memecoin\u2019s price surged more than 60 percent, suggesting that investors were rushing to accumulate the coin to qualify for a seat at the dinner.<\/p>\n
