On January 20, 2025, the day of Trump's inauguration as President of the United States, his family's crypto project World Liberty Financial (abbreviated as "WLFI") announced the purchase of over $100 million worth of cryptocurrencies, including $47 million in wBTC and $4.7 million in TRX; two days later, WLFI again increased its holdings by 10.81 million TRX, surpassing USDT to become the top 5 assets in WLFI's portfolio.

Behind these transactions is the deepening cooperation between Justin Sun and the Trump family. This has made Sun's influence no longer limited to the digital currency field, but has involved multiple areas such as politics, economics and the global market. Relying on his unique vision, keen market acumen, long-term planning and strong strategic execution, Justin Sun is step by step realizing his grand blueprint for building a new global crypto order.

When we mention Justin Sun, we associate him with the founder of the TRON blockchain, the global advisor of Huobi HTX, the wBTC advisor, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Liberia. And on November 26, 2024, Justin Sun added another title to his long list: advisor to the Trump family's crypto project WLFI. WLFI stated in the announcement that "Justin Sun's insights and experience will help us continue to innovate and develop." The day before, Justin Sun invested $30 million in WLFI, becoming the project's largest investor. On January 19, 2025, Justin Sun announced an additional investment of $45 million, bringing the total investment to $75 million.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, the Trump family is also continuously increasing its holdings of TRX, indicating that they are optimistic about the technical advantages and long-term market potential of the TRON blockchain, and will further deepen their layout in the blockchain field. By partnering with TRON, the Trump family can not only share the wealth potential of the crypto currency market, but also leverage this mature platform to promote the success of their own projects. The partnership between the two parties has created a new paradigm of win-win cooperation between the crypto industry and political figures, providing a new impetus for promoting the wider application and development of crypto assets.

Justin Sun's crypto landscape

As the first crypto-friendly president of the United States, Trump has quickly moved to relax crypto regulatory policies since taking office. On January 21, Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey revealed on the X platform that the first 200 executive orders signed by Trump after taking office included orders related to cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin; on the 22nd, Trump authorized the US SEC to establish a "Crypto Task Force" led by "Crypto Mom" Hester Peirce, "dedicated to developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto asset assets". These actions indicate that Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises, and is likely to introduce more crypto-friendly policies in the future.

In a more relaxed crypto regulatory environment, Justin Sun's layout and innovation capabilities will be fully unleashed. While further expanding his crypto landscape, as an advisor, Sun will also be able to provide the Trump family with more strategic insights into the crypto market, helping to accelerate industry building and promote the overall improvement of the crypto ecosystem.

No one understands the "Trump Effect" better than Justin Sun

Donald Trump is both the President of the United States and the world's biggest internet celebrity, to the extent that the "Trump Effect" has become a popular economic concept - his victory after the election was the best example of Bitcoin's crazy performance. In grasping the "Trump Effect", perhaps no one has done better than Justin Sun.

On January 18, Trump posted on his social media account, announcing the launch of his official personal Meme coin TRUMP (OFFICIAL TRUMP). Huobi HTX acted quickly, being the earliest top exchange to list this token. After listing on Huobi HTX at 17:40, TRUMP once surged 1,250%, the news spread like wildfire on social media and became a hot topic across the web. CoinGecko data shows that the Trump coin started trading at an opening price of $0.1824, and within 12 hours it surged over 15,000%, reaching a high of $75.35, with a fully diluted market cap approaching $80 billion.

On January 20, Trump's wife Melania also announced the issuance of her personal Meme coin $MELANIA. Huobi HTX once again became the earliest exchange to capture this hot spot, opening spot trading on MELANIA just 4 hours after its launch. In less than two hours, MELANIA's market cap reached $6 billion, with a price increase of over 50%.

These two instances of Huobi HTX's rapid capture of hot-spot assets, combined with Justin Sun's multiple collaborations with WLFI recently, have led to widespread rumors that "Justin Sun is the driving force behind Trump's coin issuance". Sun himself even reposted such rumors, saying he also wants to "eat melon". Setting aside conspiracy theories, Huobi HTX has indeed demonstrated keen market acumen. By being the first to list these emerging tokens, not only did it meet users' investment needs and strengthen the wealth effect, but it also injected new vitality into the crypto currency market. Subsequently, the platform followed up with blockbuster events, offering token airdrops of TRUMP and WLFI to new users, providing generous benefits to users while continuously stimulating market participation enthusiasm.

As the Trump family gradually delves into the crypto market, there may be more innovative crypto projects and tokens launched in the future. Justin Sun and Huobi HTX's involvement has obviously brought more opportunities to this emerging track.

In addition to the Trump official Meme coin, another track that can prove Justin Sun's predictive ability for the "Trump Effect" is AI. On January 21, Trump announced that SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle will jointly establish a new AI company Stargate, a $500 billion project that will be "the largest AI infrastructure project in history." This news immediately triggered a surge in the crypto AI sector, with tokens like ARC, PIPPIN, GRIFT, and SWARMS seeing 3-day gains of 110%, 121%, 90%, and 60% respectively.

These tokens can all be traded on Huobi HTX. As the trend of AI and cryptocurrencies converging gains momentum, Huobi HTX is also accelerating its layout. From the AI Meme leader GOAT, to the ACTSOL that created a 20x wealth miracle in a single day, to the increasingly popular AI Agent project, Huobi HTX has always been ahead of the industry in discovering quality assets in the AI track. This echoes the words Justin Sun said on X on January 17, "For trading new coins, Huobi is the only one you need!"

Driven by this strong wealth effect, Huobi HTX has shown an amazing growth momentum, with the platform's user base growing rapidly. In just one day, Huobi HTX welcomed over 180,000 new registered users, setting a new historical high. This data not only reflects the strong appeal of the Huobi HTX platform, but also demonstrates its leading position in the industry. With a solid technical architecture, excellent market strategy, and strong brand influence, Huobi HTX has undoubtedly become an important player in the global Bit industry, attracting more and more users and investors' attention and trust.

The Destined One in the Crypto Industry

In the Bit industry, Justin Sun has already achieved enough success and made enough money, but he still chooses to strive at the forefront, which must be supported by a desire that transcends fame and fortune. Now, Justin Sun is facing a great historical opportunity. His unique business acumen and bold strategic layout, TRON's technical accumulation and user volume, Huobi HTX's market advantages and brand reputation, combined with the political support brought by the deep cooperation with the Trump family, Justin Sun has the ability and conditions to further expand his Bit empire and drive the Bit industry to a new height.

"Believe that you can definitely get a big result!" On the eve of Trump's inauguration, Justin Sun wrote this on X. He did not explicitly state what the "big result" in his heart was, but it must be his destiny.
