Justin Sun Boosts Investment to Trump's World Liberty Financial to $75 Million
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, has announced an additional investment of $45 million into World Liberty Financial (WLFI). This comes at a pivotal moment as Donald Trump assumes the presidency of the United States for a second term. Today's announcement coincides with a notable surge in the crypto market, where Bitcoin has touched a new all-time high of $109,114.88.
Sun's decision to bolster his investment in WLFI was shared to social media, where he declared that Tron DAO would continue enhancing its financial commitment to the project. With this latest injection, the total investment from Tron DAO into WLFI now stands at an impressive $75 million. This escalation in investment not only signifies Sun's confidence in WLFI but also underscores the deepening relationship between his Tron blockchain and the Trump-endorsed financial platform, a connection that has been growing since last year.

WLFI Opens an Additional Block of 5% Token Supply
The momentum behind WLFI has led to another strategic move by the platform. After successfully completing the sale of 20% of its token supply, the demand from the crypto community prompted WLFI to open an additional presale for 5% of its tokens. This decision reflects both the project's popularity and its potential for growth, catering to the increased interest from investors eager to partake in what could be a groundbreaking financial venture.
Tron DAO's recent involvement includes spending approximately $15 million in USDT to acquire around 1 billion WLFI tokens, reinforcing Justin Sun's position as the largest holder of WLFI. His initial $30 million investment in November 2024 was not just a financial stake but also included his advisory role within the company, showcasing his direct influence and commitment to the project's success.
This strategic investment and the ongoing developments within WLFI are set against a backdrop of a thriving crypto market, particularly with Bitcoin's performance today. The synergy between Sun's Tron and Trump's World Liberty Financial could potentially reshape parts of the digital asset landscape, offering new avenues for investment and innovation in decentralized finance.
