10-7-2025 – TRON founder Justin Sun announced Wednesday a $100 million investment commitment in Official Trump ($TRUMP) tokens, marking one of the largest individual investments in the presidential memecoin and solidifying his position as a key player in the Trump family’s expanding crypto ecosystem.
Sun disclosed the massive purchase plan via social media, declaring that “$TRUMP and #TRON are the future of Crypto” while positioning the investment as part of broader collaboration efforts across blockchain ecosystems. The announcement sent $TRUMP trading higher to $9.20, gaining over 6% in 24-hour trading according to CoinMarketCap data.
The TRON executive already holds substantial $TRUMP positions, having claimed ownership of approximately $19 million worth of tokens as of May—reportedly the largest individual holding at that time. This new $100 million commitment would dramatically expand his influence within the Trump token ecosystem and represents a significant bet on the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency.
The investment coincides with TRON DAO’s recent integration of $TRUMP onto the TRON blockchain through LayerZero’s interoperability infrastructure. This technical development positions TRON as critical infrastructure for the Trump token ecosystem while potentially driving increased network usage and adoption.
Sun’s commitment reflects deepening financial ties between his blockchain platform and Trump family crypto ventures. World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-backed crypto company, purchased millions in TRON (TRX) tokens in January, establishing reciprocal investment relationships. Sun had previously invested $30 million in World Liberty Financial tokens following Trump’s election victory.
The Trump family’s crypto empire has expanded rapidly through World Liberty Financial, launching multiple products including the WLFI governance token and USD1 stablecoin, which has reportedly achieved over $4 billion in daily transaction volume.
