“As a strong advocate for blockchain technology and innovation in cryptocurrencies, I'm excited to see World Liberty Financial integrate TRON as a key part of its growing treasury. TRX's inclusion as the fourth-largest asset in WLFI's holdings highlights its trust in the Tron blockchain network," Justin Sun, founder of Tron, said in a statement to CoinDesk."
This most recent purchase was to the tune of $2.6 million and adds an additional 10.8 million TRX to the WLFI treasury. The total holdings of TRX now come in at $7.5 million.
"With WLFI leading efforts to bridge traditional finance and crypto and the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, the United States will become a major hub for innovation and cryptocurrency adoption,” Sun continued.
CoinDesk reported in mid-January that WFLI intended to purchase TRX and a Tron delegation attended Trump's inauguration.
WFLI is also holding $182 million in ETH, $48 million in WBTC, $7.2 million in Tether's USDT, $7 million in AAVE, and $6.7 million in Chainlink's LINK according to on-chain data with most token buys coming in before the inauguration.
Sources close to the matter say WLFI will continue to increase their TRX holdings.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
