Justin Sun Becomes Adviser to Donald Trump's Crypto Venture After $30M Investment

The TRON founder's investment makes him the largest stakeholder in World Liberty Financial, boosting the project's token sales significantly.

Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain, invested $30 million in Donald Trump's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), becoming its largest token holder.
The investment tripled the project's previous fundraising total, which had been struggling to meet its revised $30 million target after lackluster initial sales.
Following the investment, Sun was named an adviser to World Liberty Financial, with the project citing his experience in decentralized finance as a key asset.
World Liberty Financial aims to bridge traditional finance with Web3 technologies, leveraging the Trump brand to attract new users to decentralized finance platforms.
Sun's involvement marks his latest high-profile move in the cryptocurrency world, following his purchase of a $6.2 million banana artwork and past controversies, including a 2023 SEC lawsuit alleging market manipulation.
