Justin Sun Returns to the United States, Prepares for a High-Profile Dinner with Donald Trump

Crypto figure Justin Sun has returned to the United States and is reportedly preparing for a high-profile dinner with Donald Trump.

Crypto figure Justin Sun has returned to the United States and is reportedly preparing for a high-profile dinner with Donald Trump.

Sun's arrival coincides with a major crypto-related campaign led by Trump, targeting the top holders of his $TRUMP token. The former president promised to invite the 220 largest holders for dinner at one of his clubs, while the top 25 will also get a private VIP reception.

As of Friday morning, the crypto wallet associated with Sun and the HTX exchange had the largest balance of $TRUMP tokens, making him the biggest contender for the dinner.

The crypto exchange, which operates under Sun's influence, also directly linked the wallet to his name and image, hinting at his potential presence at the event.

Those in the know will know what this means 😉. What should I visit first in the US? Let me know in the comments!

Today is a good day for crypto in the US!

Sun's wallet currently holds $18.7 million in $TRUMP tokens, placing him at the top of the list for Trump's dinner offer.

Trump pledged a dinner invitation at one of his clubs to the 220 largest $TRUMP holders. The top 25 are promised a private VIP reception with Trump.

Justin Sun Leads Trump Token Activity

The wallet tied to Justin Sun and created by the HTX exchange is the most significant holding of the $TRUMP token.

HTX, which comes under Sun's sphere of influence, had the wallet directly linked to Sun's name and image. This action strongly suggests that Sun plans to attend the Trump-hosted event.

Excited to be back in the 🇺🇸!

In line with the campaign, Trump launched the $TRUMP token to reward major supporters and amplify his pro-crypto stance. Sun's wallet balance places him at the top, securing exclusive access to the dinner and reception.

Sun's involvement suggests strategic coordination, considering the public nature of both his crypto activities and Trump's open offer.

While Trump attracts global attention with his crypto campaign, most of the major token holders appear to be based outside of the U.S. Despite that, Sun's reentry into the country is critical.

The move comes just months after Trump's inauguration and amid increasing ties between crypto figures and political parties in their respective domains.

TRX: Claims of US Origin Despite Singapore Roots

Justin Sun declared that TRX, his original cryptocurrency, is a coin made in the United States. This statement contradicts the Tron Foundation's founding location, which is in Singapore. However, the remark echoes Trump's "America First" branding, suggesting a calculated alignment.

I’m all in on the USA 🇺🇸 — TRX is a coin made in the USA! 🇺🇸

TRX, created under the Tron Foundation, has long been associated with Sun's global outreach and token promotion activities.

Yet Sun's recent statement appears to be crafted to strengthen his U.S. presence, and his arrival in the country adds weight to that message.

CNBC reports confirm that most Trump token participants are not American, complicating narratives around domestic crypto projects. Still, Sun continues to assert strong American connections for TRX. These statements coincide with his legal status and the temporary halt in SEC proceedings.

WLFI: Trump-Linked Tokens and Alleged Return Promises

In January 2025, on the day of Trump's inauguration, Justin Sun announced the purchase of $45 million in WLFI tokens. He had already spent $30 million on WLFI earlier, making him one of the largest holders.

Reports later suggested a quid pro quo agreement promising returns from Trump's crypto firm.

We @trondao are continuing to increase our investment in World Liberty Financial, with an additional $45 million, bringing the total investment to $75 million. @worldlibertyfi @EricTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump

WLFI is a Trump-backed token operating under the World Liberty Financial brand and has been linked with campaign fundraising activities. Sun's massive purchases have sparked discussion about mutual benefits in their ongoing partnership.

Though not officially confirmed, the close timing of the announcements suggests coordination between the parties involved. The judge's decision to pause the case came shortly after Sun's latest WLFI acquisition.
