Justin Sun Boosts TRON DAO Investment to $75 Million in World Liberty Financial Ahead of Trump’s Inauguration

Tron founder Justin Sun has announced a significant increase in investments in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) venture, bringing TRON DAO’s total investment to an impressive $75 million. The announcement, shared via an X post, reveals that TRON DAO injected an additional $45 million into WLFI, signaling strong support for the growing DeFi ecosystem.

This investment comes just hours before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, further fueling speculation that Sun and TRON could be positioning themselves to influence the upcoming political landscape. Notably, TRON DAO also spent $15 million in USDT to acquire 1 billion WLFI tokens, suggesting a strategic play to increase liquidity within the WLFI ecosystem.

Shortly after Sun’s announcement, World Liberty Financial confirmed the release of an additional 5% of its token supply, offering new opportunities for investors. The official social media channels of WLFI revealed that out of the 25 billion WLFI tokens in circulation, 20.86 billion have already been sold, leaving 4.138 billion tokens available for purchase. Interested buyers can acquire WLFI tokens using ETH, USDC, USDT, and WETH, with prices set at $0.05 per token.

WLFI’s growth is reflected in its expanding holder base, with over 36,600 holders recorded, marking a 5.71% increase. The platform’s total transfers have reached 44,519, signaling increased investor interest and activity. In tandem, TRON’s strategic acquisition of WLFI tokens, coupled with its own TRX holdings, suggests a strengthening of ties between the two entities.

Interestingly, this investment surge coincides with the rising popularity of TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins, which have seen a notable increase in value. TRUMP meme coins have surged by 51.96%, while MELANIA meme coins have spiked by 72.61%, suggesting a growing investor appetite for meme tokens.
