Trump to hold gala for top investors in his meme coin, as some critics slam event as pay-for-play.

Investors pumped millions into the coin for a chance to attend the gala.

At least some of the funds flowing directly into the Trump family's coffers.

58 wallets had made millions from their Trump coin investments as of May 6 , while roughly 764,000 crypto wallets had lost money.

More than 70% of the token holders have incurred losses totaling approximately $21 million since Trump announced the gala.

The White House has denied that Trump 's personal forays into crypto amount to influence-peddling.
