TRON founder Justin Sun has pledged to purchase up to $100 million worth of Official Trump (TRUMP) tokens, triggering an immediate surge in trading activity and price for the politically themed cryptocurrency.
Following Sun’s announcement, TRUMP token trading volume skyrocketed 208.60% within 24 hours to approximately $475.3 million, while the token’s price rose to $9.18. The commitment reactivated market enthusiasm for the meme coin, which operates on the TRON blockchain.
Sun currently holds over 1.43 million TRUMP tokens valued above $13 million and has separately invested $30 million in World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Earlier this year, he deployed an additional $45 million into the project, deepening his involvement in Trump-affiliated crypto assets.
The TRON network has integrated TRUMP tokens directly on its mainnet alongside World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin, enabling new trading pairs and diversifying the platform’s digital asset offerings. This infrastructure development supports ecosystem growth and user accessibility.
Sun’s $100 million token acquisition initiative specifically aims to position TRUMP as a flagship asset within the TRON ecosystem, potentially attracting new users and developers seeking exposure to politically aligned digital assets.
