This wave of Sun has completely surpassed the atmosphere.
Written by: Bright, Foresight News
Following the halos of TRON founder Justin Sun, advisor to the Trump family’s WLFI project, and "Jack Ma's disciple," Justin Sun is set to become the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut.
On July 21, Blue Origin, founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, announced that the NS-34 mission will carry six people, including Justin Sun. According to previous reports, Justin Sun bid $28 million for a seat on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket in 2021, with the funds supporting the Blue Origin Foundation and 19 space-themed charities to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.
If it can be said that Wang Chun's flight aboard SpaceX's "Dragon" spacecraft was a milestone for early Chinese crypto practitioners and BTC holders, then Justin Sun's journey aboard Blue Origin's rocket breaking through the Earth's atmosphere will amplify the voice of Chinese crypto entrepreneurs and international business entities.
Since 2025, Justin Sun has graced the covers of Forbes and Asia Weekly, become an advisor to the Trump family's World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and spent $23 million to become the "top brother" at a Trump dinner.
So, what role has TRON, led by Justin Sun, played in this grand crypto bull market of 2025?
The On-Chain Channel for Stablecoins
If you ask what the annual buzzword in the crypto industry in 2025 is, "stablecoin" would be a near-certain answer. From the GENIUS Act to Circle's listing on Nasdaq, from WLFI issuing USD1 to Hong Kong preparing to release a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, global political and economic entities are flocking to the $2 trillion market potential of stablecoins.
TRON has been laying the groundwork for stablecoins since their inception. According to Defillama data, as of July 2025, TRON has over 320 million user accounts, a total value locked (TVL) of $23 billion, and an average daily transaction volume exceeding 28 million, with TRC20-USDT circulation surpassing $80 billion, capturing a significant share of the stablecoin market.
As an on-chain financial channel, TRON is being widely adopted. Firstly, TRON has established strategic partnerships with governments such as Dominica, where TRC20-USDT has been granted legal tender status. Additionally, TRON is the first public chain to receive both EU MiCA certification and ISO 14064 carbon neutrality standards. To date, USDT circulating on the TRON network has been utilized in over 100 countries worldwide, covering diverse scenarios such as cross-border payments, international trade, payroll settlements, and digital asset transactions. In terms of empowering the real economy, users can use USDT circulating on TRON to pay for e-commerce orders and travel expenses, making payments more convenient and smooth; in cross-border payment scenarios, TRON's USDT has reduced remittance costs for Southeast Asian workers from 10% to 0.1%, shortening the arrival time from several days to minutes, addressing the main challenges of traditional wire transfers.
The cornerstone of TRON's global layout is its continuously updated underlying technology. Currently, TRON achieves a transaction processing capacity of over 2000 transactions per second through the DPoS consensus mechanism, compressing block confirmation time to 3 seconds and reducing the cost of a single transaction to $0.001.
Therefore, based on TRON's global applicability and technological superiority, the USD1 issued by the Trump family's crypto project WLFI has early access to this "global digital link." On June 11, Justin Sun announced on X that the stablecoin USD1 has officially been minted on the TRON chain. Subsequently, Eric Trump, the son of former President Trump and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, confirmed on X and thanked TRON for its support of USD1. He stated that TRON's technology and compliance strength have provided USD1 with the best vehicle for globalization. At the Token2049 summit in Dubai in 2025, Justin Sun stated, "The integration of USD1 will bring new vitality to the TRON ecosystem, and our goal is to enable every user to easily use stablecoins through their mobile phones and participate in the global financial system."
Looking to the future, TRON has recently extended its strategic depth into the Hong Kong market. In an interview with Asia Weekly, Justin Sun stated that Hong Kong has the potential to develop into an international financial settlement hub, supporting e-commerce and tourism consumption scenarios with USDT settlements through the TRC20 protocol. The integration of digital assets and the real economy is accelerating.
The Compliance Power of the East
In 2025, compliance has become the central theme of the crypto industry. Since President Trump took office, the policy shackles imposed on the cryptocurrency industry during the previous Democratic administration have been falling away. From the repeal of the "DeFi broker rule" and the withdrawal of a series of accusations against crypto companies to the establishment of the White House Crypto and AI Working Group, the SEC approving multiple cryptocurrency ETFs, and global listed companies following MicroStrategy's lead to establish cryptocurrency strategic reserves, the global crypto industry is experiencing a surge in compliance.
Against this backdrop, TRON is expanding into the U.S. capital market as a "regular army." On April 19, U.S. asset management giant Canary Capital officially submitted an S-1 registration statement for a TRX ETF to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which will be custodied by BitGo, with NAV referencing CoinDesk Indices' price benchmarks. Subscriptions and redemptions will be conducted in cash through authorized participants. The anticipated approval of the TRX ETF will further promote the internationalization of the TRON ecosystem, attracting more traditional financial institutions for in-depth cooperation with blockchain technology, accelerating its strategic goal of becoming a global payment infrastructure.
On July 24, Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) rang the opening bell on Nasdaq to celebrate its official name change. The ceremony was hosted by TRON founder and global advisor to Tron Inc., Justin Sun, and was broadcast live from Times Square.
Tron Inc. was formerly known as SRM Entertainment, a Nasdaq-listed company, which announced the launch of its TRX strategic reserve strategy in June this year. Under the terms, SRM will issue 100,000 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock and 220 million warrants to private investors, with a total value of up to $210 million. Currently, Tron Inc. has announced that it has successfully staked its 365,096,845 TRX through the JustLend platform. By combining standard staking rewards and energy leasing, this operation can increase the annual yield of staked TRX to a maximum of 10%. This move follows the company's earlier completion of a $100 million private placement. The TRON Treasury Strategy marks the attention and confidence of the U.S. market in the TRON ecosystem.
The Balance of Politics and Capital
There is a thought-provoking detail in the Forbes cover story—when discussing Trump as a "CHEAT CODE" for the cryptocurrency industry, he (Justin Sun) clearly stated, "With him, our development will be much smoother than before."
It has been proven that behind TRON's efforts to expand into the U.S. capital market, the influence of the Trump family has connected the main thread of its development.
In November 2024, Trump, surrounded by U.S. crypto practitioners, successfully won the presidential election, and the next Republican government is bound to be "pro-crypto." Under the trend of the Trump administration "making America the world's crypto capital," Justin Sun seized the opportunity to return to the U.S. capital market and stand at the center stage.
Although Trump had secured the presidential seat, the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial was struggling with poor revenue. In November 2024, Justin Sun announced a $30 million investment in WLFI, bringing this troubled project back into the market's sight. Just a day later, WLFI announced that Justin Sun would join the project as an advisor. In January 2025, Justin Sun announced an additional investment in WLFI, raising the total investment to $75 million. In return, WLFI has included TRX in its investment portfolio.
In February 2025, the new SEC chairman Paul Atkins, who is friendly to crypto, took office. That month, the SEC, the Tron Foundation, and Justin Sun submitted a joint motion requesting a federal judge to pause the lawsuit against Justin Sun and Tron to seek a possible settlement. This move can already be seen as overturning the previous "witch hunt" during Gary Gensler's tenure.
By April 2025, Justin Sun attended the Dubai Token 2049 summit alongside Eric Trump, interacting frequently. In May 2025, a "TRUMP" themed dinner was held at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, D.C., where the top 220 holders of TRUMP tokens by weighted holding value were invited to participate. Justin Sun attended as the "top brother" with a holding of $23 million in TRUMP and received a limited edition Trump Tourbillon watch personally gifted by Trump. Subsequently, Justin Sun announced plans to continue purchasing $100 million worth of TRUMP.
Looking back, in 2021, Justin Sun was appointed as Grenada's ambassador to the WTO (World Trade Organization). Understanding the combination of politics and capital, Justin Sun is continuously capturing the value of the current power center in the U.S. In this light, the evaluation in the Forbes cover story hits the nail on the head—"Justin Sun is using a balance of innovation and compromise to push cryptocurrency from the margins to the center stage of Wall Street."
