Justin Sun: WLFI’s TRX Investment Highlights Trust in Tron Network
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, expressed his enthusiasm for World Liberty Financial’s growing commitment to TRX in a statement to CoinDesk:
“As a strong advocate for blockchain technology and innovation in cryptocurrencies, I’m excited to see World Liberty Financial integrate TRON as a key part of its growing treasury. TRX’s inclusion as the fourth-largest asset in WLFI’s holdings highlights its trust in the Tron blockchain network.”

WLFI’s Diverse Crypto Holdings
While TRX now constitutes a significant portion of World Liberty Financial’s treasury, it’s just one of several prominent cryptocurrencies held by the Trump-affiliated project. According to on-chain data, WLFI’s diverse portfolio also includes:
- $182 million in Ethereum (ETH)
- $48 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)
- $7.2 million in Tether (USDT)
- $7 million in Aave (AAVE)
- $6.7 million in Chainlink (LINK)
Notably, the majority of these token purchases occurred before President Trump’s inauguration, suggesting a strategic accumulation of key crypto assets in anticipation of the new administration’s pro-crypto stance.
The Future of WLFI and TRX
Confidential sources close to the matter have indicated that World Liberty Financial intends to continue increasing its TRX holdings in the near future. This sustained investment strategy underscores the project’s long-term belief in Tron’s potential and its role in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
As Justin Sun noted in his statement:
“With WLFI leading efforts to bridge traditional finance and crypto and the Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance, the United States will become a major hub for innovation and cryptocurrency adoption.”
– Justin Sun, Founder of Tron
The convergence of political influence and crypto innovation represented by World Liberty Financial’s growing stake in Tron is a development that is sure to have far-reaching implications. As the Trump-affiliated project continues to build its TRX war chest, all eyes will be on how this relationship shapes the future of both the Tron ecosystem and the broader crypto space in the United States and beyond.
