Tron Founder: Bitcoin Wouldn't Have Reached $100K Without Trump

The founder of the Tron blockchain project, Justin Sun, praised the position of US President Donald Trump in relation to the crypto industry, emphasizing that it was thanks to his policies that Bitcoin was able to reach new historical highs.

He stated that without the administration's friendly approach to regulating digital assets, the development of blockchain and the growth of the BTC rate would not have been possible. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Sun thanked Trump for his efforts to create a favorable legal climate for the crypto market, noting that with the arrival of the new government in the United States, the regulatory environment has noticeably changed in favor of the industry.

“Without Trump and his support for cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin would never have reached such heights,” he said during his speech.

Sun recalled that after Trump's victory in the December 2024 election, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $100,000 for the first time and then continued to rise, breaking its records. BTC recently reached $112,000 and is currently above $108,000, demonstrating a steady trend. Sun also confirmed that he had invested $75 million in the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI), launched by Trump's team. However, as other participants of the event noted, the evening was rather formal: the president limited himself to a short speech and left the hall without communicating with the guests, which caused disappointment among some of those present.

Let us recall that the gala dinner of TRUMP memcoin holders was accompanied by protests.
