- Justin Sun pledges $100M as TRUMP memecoin officially launches on the TRON blockchain.
- TRUMP token trading volume jumps 192% following Sun’s investment announcement.
- TRON integration enhances TRUMP coin’s access, speed, and adoption across ecosystems.
Tron founder Justin Sun has announced a $100 million commitment to purchase the Official Trump ($TRUMP) memecoin. The announcement coincided with the launch of the TRUMP token on the TRON blockchain. Sun stated that the partnership between TRON and TRUMP would play a pivotal role in the crypto sector.
According to Sun, TRUMP and TRON represent a joint future in cryptocurrency innovation and ecosystem expansion. This commitment reflects his confidence in memecoins as a growing segment within the broader blockchain landscape. Sun emphasized the importance of collaboration between crypto communities to boost adoption and engagement. The memecoin, which aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s brand, is backed by the political MAGA movement.
TRUMP Memecoin Integrates with TRON Blockchain
The Official Trump memecoin was launched on the TRON network on July 7, marking a key moment for the asset. This is done after the integration of the token via LayerZero, which enables interchangeability of TRON and other chains. As TRON DAO emphasized, the token will leverage TRON’s rapid transaction speed and reduced transaction fees.
TRUMP coin’s transition to the TRON ecosystem comes amid broader efforts to support politically linked crypto projects. The launch aligns with TRON’s strategy to onboard high-activity digital assets and expand its user base. With Sun’s endorsement and financial backing, the TRUMP token is positioned to become a central asset within TRON’s network.
The TRUMP token is one in a recent series of politically-linked cryptocurrencies that are hoping to gain mainstream acceptance. The partnership of TRUMP and TRON is signaling heightened overlaps between the blockchain industry and political branding. The integration has the potential to introduce greater acceptance of blockchain within politically active circles.
Price Movement and Market Performance
Despite recent events, the TRUMP memecoin is still a long way from reaching its all-time high, established in January 2025. The currency is currently trading at $9.22 as of the time of writing and has lost nearly 90% of its value since January, when it reached an ATH of $75.35. It has a trading volume of over $510 million, representing a 192% increase. However, with the latest announcement by Sun, the price of the token rose by over 6%.
Sun’s Broader Ties to Trump-Linked Crypto Ventures
In addition to his $100 million pledge, Justin Sun has prior financial involvement with Trump-linked crypto entities. He invested $75 million in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a company affiliated with Trump and focused on blockchain technology. This investment secured him an advisory position at WLFI and strengthened ties between the two organizations.
Sun is also a major holder of the TRUMP token. At a VIP event in May, he stated he owned approximately $19 million worth of TRUMP at the time, according to CNBC. His investment in TRUMP aligns with a long-term strategy to expand TRON’s presence in politically engaged crypto ecosystems.

Since the TRUMP memecoin has been launched on the TRON network, the collaboration is expected to result in increased interaction between the two environments. The commitment of Sun is a clear indication that there will still be support for incorporating political themes into blockchain use. His investments reflect a broader trend of using blockchain technology to amplify political and cultural narratives, drawing new users and expanding market influence.
