Justin Sun Commits $100 million to TRUMP Memecoin Expansion

- Tron founder allocates $100 million toward TRUMP memecoin. - Investment aligns with crypto expansion and ties to Trump-related projects. According to a July 9, 2025, report from The Block, Tron founder Justin Sun announced a $100 million investment in the TRUMP memecoin. This move both underscores his ongoing involvement with Trump-affiliated cryptocurrency projects and marks a strategic milestone that coincides with the token's expansion to the Tron blockchain. The TRUMP memecoin, which debuted on the Solana blockchain and quickly gained traction, is now expanding in a move that aligns with Sun’s broader vision to integrate Trump-associated projects into the Tron ecosystem. On July 9, Tron founder Justin Sun described the partnership on the social media platform X as "the future of crypto," a statement reflecting his strategic focus on collaboration and innovation. In addition, Sun is cementing his ties to Trump-backed ventures through other investments, such as his advisory role at World Liberty Financial, a project linked to Donald Trump and his sons. His initial $30 million investment in the project's tokens has since grown to $75 million. Furthermore, World Liberty Financial has incorporated Tron's native token, TRX, into its treasury, a move that strengthens the financial and technical relationship between Sun’s blockchain network and Trump-associated entities. Meanwhile, Sun’s announcement comes as he faces ongoing legal challenges in the United States. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) previously charged Sun and his companies with offering unregistered securities. However, court filings indicate that both parties are working toward a resolution, and legal proceedings are temporarily paused while these discussions continue. While the TRUMP memecoin has shown volatile market performance since its launch, its expansion to the Tron blockchain is expected to improve user accessibility and leverage Tron's faster transaction speeds. As a result, this move could potentially stabilize the token's growth trajectory. As of July 9, market data from CoinMarketCap indicated that OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) was trading at $8.981, a 4.54% increase over the past 24 hours. In parallel, Tron's native token (TRX) was trading at $0.29 with a 0.89% increase in daily volume. BitTorrent [New] (BTT) was listed at $0 despite a reported 2.54% daily change, while World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) held steady at $1 with a marginal 0.03% increase in 24-hour activity.
