Trump Coin latest news: Sun Yuchen invests an additional 100 million dollars to increase the position

Recently, the crypto assets market has sparked discussions once again. Tron founder Justin Sun publicly stated that he has purchased an additional $100 million worth of Trump Coin ($TRUMP), significantly increasing his total holdings in this token. In the future, $TRUMP will also be launched for circulation on the Tron network, and Justin Sun even referred to it as the "currency of the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement."

##Trump Coin Current Market Performance Since its launch in January 2025, Trump Coin has experienced significant price volatility. Its market value once soared to 15 billion dollars on the first day, but then continued to decline, dropping to around 2 billion dollars by July. Nevertheless, the project remains a core asset in the Trump family's crypto portfolio, with 80% of the control still held by Trump Organization and its affiliated entities.

The corresponding $MELANIA Token has been even more devastating, having plummeted 90% since its issuance, with a market value of less than 150 million dollars. However, these political meme coins have still generated significant profits through trading fees. Data shows that from January to April 2025, wallets associated with the Trump Coin project collected over 300 million dollars in fees. ##Why Sun Yuchen Continues to Bet on Trump Coin After increasing his holdings by 100 million dollars, Sun Yuchen has become one of the largest whales within the Trump Coin ecosystem. As early as the beginning of the year, Sun Yuchen had raised his holdings of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens to 75 million dollars, with 75% of the project's profits belonging to the Trump family.

By increasing his holdings in $TRUMP, Sun Yuchen is further expanding his business footprint in the United States. At the same time, he is pushing for a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, which is strongly linked to the capital background of the Trump family, to enter the U.S. capital market. Behind this, the Trump Organization is closely tied to Dominari Securities, further consolidating its influence. ##Risks and Controversies Surrounding Trump Coin Although the Trump Coin market is a constant topic of discussion, the Democratic Party has proposed the "Ending Crypto Corruption Act," which clearly prohibits officials and government leaders from issuing or supporting digital assets. Nevertheless, Trump Coin relies on automatic deductions from each transaction, continuously providing stable cash flow for the issuer. Sun Yuchen's significant investment this time also reflects his focus on the project's short-term profitability and political capital.

However, tokens with strong political attributes will continue to face regulatory and market uncertainties in the future, resulting in significant price fluctuations, and should not be blindly chased at high prices. ##Trump Coin Future Prospects In the future, if Tron successfully launches Trump Coin, it may bring new trading activity to this Token. However, in the long run, its performance will still depend on U.S. regulatory policies and changes in the attitude of the Trump family. At present, Trump Coin is more like an "emotional benchmark" in the encryption industry hype, rather than an asset with long-term value support.
