Trump tokens plot bought by Justin Sun at $100M value, declaring TRUMP and Tron as crypto's future
In a series of significant developments, Tron DAO and the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial (WLF) have been forging a strong partnership in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
Recent reports suggest that USD1, Tron's stablecoin, has surpassed Circle's USDC in daily transaction volume, reaching over $4 billion. This growth underscores the active development and adoption of the Tron ecosystem.
One of the most notable collaborations between the two entities is the upcoming launch of the TRUMP memecoin on the Tron blockchain, powered by LayerZero's interoperability infrastructure. This move will allow the TRUMP token to move seamlessly across the Tron network.
The partnership between Justin Sun's Tron and WLF has seen several changes. In November last year, Sun invested $30 million in WLF's tokens (WLFI). In a turn of events, the Trump family reduced their equity stake in WLF from 60% to 40% as of June 2025. This reduction is part of ongoing changes in the company's holding structure.
In a pivotal move, WLF's WLFI tokens, initially non-transferable, have been approved for tradability by a community vote with overwhelming support. This decision marks a significant step in the transition of WLFI tokens from a closed ecosystem to open market participation, enabling peer-to-peer trading and broader governance engagement.
World Liberty Financial's portfolio includes a planned substantial position in the $TRUMP memecoin, as revealed by Eric Trump. This indicates a growing emphasis on supporting the $TRUMP token within their digital asset holdings and expanding the crypto presence tied to the Trump brand.
In a bold statement, Tron's Justin Sun announced his intention to buy $100 million worth of $TRUMP memecoins, further solidifying his commitment to the partnership. At Trump's VIP dinner in May, Sun was reported to have been the biggest holder of the TRUMP memecoin, with about $19 million worth, according to CNBC.
The Trump family's crypto empire has grown over the past several months. In January, World Liberty reportedly bought millions worth of the Tron token (TRX). World Liberty has also launched multiple products, including the stablecoin USD1, which is now live on multiple exchanges like HTX Global and Huobi Global.
These partnerships and investments underscore the growing intertwining of interests between Tron, World Liberty Financial, and the Trump crypto brand. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, these developments promise an exciting future for all three entities.
