Justin Sun, the founder of

Tron
, has announced a significant investment of $100 million in the TRUMP token, signaling a strategic alignment with the U.S. administration's pro-crypto stance. This move marks the beginning of a series of planned collaborations with the Trump team, as stated by Sun in an interview. The TRUMP token, initially issued on the
Solana
blockchain, will be integrated into the Tron ecosystem using LayerZero, with plans to make it a flagship asset within the Tron network.

Sun expressed his vision for the TRUMP token, stating, "I think Tron has the potential to become the next-generation settlement layer — not only for stablecoins, but also for meme coins and other popular assets." Beyond technical integration, Sun outlined a global expansion strategy targeting Asia and Africa, alongside campaigns to boost adoption and exchange listings. This initiative aims to make the TRUMP token a globally recognized asset, contrasting with earlier politically themed tokens that faced challenges due to their political nature.

Sun framed the initiative as part of a broader effort to tie Tron’s growth to a friendlier regulatory climate under President Trump. He hinted at further collaborations spanning stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi), comparing the White House's embrace of crypto to Bill Clinton's initiatives to push adoption of the internet in the 1990s. Sun believes that this support will benefit the U.S. for decades to come, positioning the country as a hub for crypto development.

In addition to the TRUMP token buy, Sun discussed Tron Inc., a company undergoing a reverse merger with a Nasdaq-listed entity as part of a plan to create a publicly traded vehicle aligned with the Tron ecosystem. Sun stated that this move will attract more U.S. institutional investors to the Tron strategy, making it a beacon for people to enter the crypto space. He also hinted at more public listings to come, indicating a broader strategy to integrate Tron with traditional financial markets.
