Tron’s MAGA Moment: Sun’s $100M TRUMP Token Bet

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron crypto network, has announced a bold move that could either be seen as a stroke of genius or a leap into the abyss. On Wednesday, he declared that Tron will be acquiring $100 million worth of the TRUMP meme token. This revelation came hot on the heels of a post from the X account @Gettrumpmemes, which hinted that TRUMP would soon be integrated with the Tron blockchain. 🚀

Tron Founder’s $100M TRUMP Token Grab

Tron founder Justin Sun has developed a peculiar fondness for the TRUMP meme coin. In January, he made a $75 million investment in World Liberty Financial’s WLFI tokens, a move that also secured him a seat at the advisory table. Over the past 30 days, it was revealed that WLFI’s USD1 coin had launched on the Tron network. Then, on July 9, Sun announced his team’s intention to invest $100 million in TRUMP tokens.

“We are committed to buying $100M of TRUMP,” Sun proclaimed on the social media platform X. “Together, TRUMP and TRON are the future of Crypto,” he added, with a confidence that could either be inspiring or terrifying, depending on your perspective. Prior to Sun’s X post, the X account @Gettrumpmemes announced that the official TRUMP meme token was set to join the Tron blockchain.

TRUMP saw a 7% surge against the U.S. dollar today, and as of 10:45 p.m. Eastern, it was trading at $9.18 per coin. Tied to the 47th U.S. President Donald Trump, the meme token has been one of the standout gainers of 2025, up 114.45% since its debut. However, it has also plummeted 87% from its all-time high of $73.43 per coin. 📉

When the TRUMP meme coin dinner took place earlier this year, Sun was the leading holder of the token and a prominent attendee. Discussing the $100 million investment, Sun stated, “This move highlights our belief in collaborating across ecosystems to grow the crypto landscape with communities such as @Gettrumpmemes.” Whether this is a strategic masterstroke or a risky gamble, only time will tell. 🕰️
