Justin Sun has built a reputation as someone who knows how to spin up news to pump TRX. At the end of April, the Tron founder even managed to turn a pretty nasty event to his advantage.

Sun got involved with the Trump family's projects after he was elected US president. But the $276 million he'd put into World Liberty Finance tokens got unexpectedly frozen after they were unlocked back in September 2025.

Justin Sun waited seven months, and then, as TRX was hitting new highs again in late April, he spotted a perfect news hook to drive the price even higher. By that time, the US president's approval rating had hit rock bottom, and just about everyone was accusing his family of making money off crypto.

On April 21, Sun filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Finance. It was a real information bomb. Sun is the only person in crypto who wasn't afraid to pick a fight with the famously thin‑skinned Trump. At first, TRX dipped, but then it shot up with ten straight days of gains in May!

Suddenly, the names of Trump's sons disappeared from the list of people tied to the project on World Liberty Finance's website. Donald Trump Jr. had to explain himself at the Consensus Miami conference. He claimed there was an "information attack" in the media and that they aren't going anywhere.

Maybe Sun's marketing team stirred up the social media posts. Or perhaps the Tron founder figured the president's family wouldn't want to reveal just how deep they're into crypto, especially if that would come out in court?

In fact, the "Meet our team" section on World Liberty Finance's website, where the sons' faces used to appear, has now been removed. Word is, it's due to a restructuring of the "Super Nodes" program.

Meanwhile, TRX has cleared $0.35 and looks well-positioned to take a shot at last year's high of $0.37.

Tronscan shows it as legit, but their site asks to connect wallet for staking. Did anyone else get this? Is this a scam?

Was bringt so ein schwaches Projekt mit so höhen Gebühren überhaupt mit?

Ich wollte Usdt durch Tron Netzwerk überweisen und die Geier nehmen für kleinste Transaktion noch viel Gebühr. Das Problem ist nicht die Gebühr selbst, sondern dass man es zwangsweise lediglich mit Tron zahlen kann!

Für echt, warum soll man dieses Netzwerk nutzen, wenn sich selbst Ethereum sogar als günstigere Möglichkeit herausstellt…

Total unzufrieden und würde allen davon abraten.

Tron (TRX) hit a new yearly high six times in April, outperforming both Bitcoin and most altcoins in terms of growth. The reason for TRX's rise was the activity on the Tron network. According to DeFiLama, the number of transactions grew by 53.76% last month, and active addresses rose by 46.72%.

The TRX trend correction in the latter half of April was triggered by a technical "double top" signal. However, when the price fell below $0.32, Tron Inc. stepped in – the company has been steadily buying the altcoin on dips to hold in its treasury. That move stabilized prices, and yesterday TRX bounced off a key Fibonacci retracement level (23.6%). So the correction won't last long, and the altcoin should quickly return to its yearly highs.

Further price action will depend on fundamentals and the overall demand for crypto. Crypto investors will also be watching Justin Sun's battle with Donald Trump's family over the World Liberty Financial case
