The TRX TRX token increased up to 3% during the night on May 29, 2025, after the founder Justin Sun was photographed shaking the hand of Donald Trump Jr. at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas.
The moment sparked buzz on Crypto Twitter and drew new attention to the growing support of the Trump family with digital active ingredients. With Trump Jr. saying that he is “completely out of politics” and ready to focus on the crypto, some now ask for: is political influence the new advantage of Tron in the United States?

(@Justinsuntron) Trump’s allies are increasingly promoting pro-Crypto ideas, including a Bitcoin national reserve and darling rules for Stablecoins. For Tron, which has faced years of pressure from American regulators, this photo signals a possible momentum.
TRX 2025 MOMENTUM: growth by numbers
Beyond major political titles, Tron and TRX display solid performance in 2025. More than half of all Tether (USDT), around 73.8 billion dollars, are now hosted on the Tron network. Tether struck $ 16 billion in new USD on Tron this year.
An upgrade of the main net of May 28 has further improved the performance before an overhaul of the Q3 focused on the rapid purpose and the native nodes of the arm.
Tron has also increased retail accessibility. A new Moonpay partnership now allows American users to buy TRX with debit cards in a few minutes, directly targeting the same demographic group as a Trump brand crypto thrust could boost.
From a income point of view, the first quarter of 2025 marked a record of $ 760 million, with daily active addresses reaching 2.4 million. These milestones support the argument that Tron’s traction is not only focused on media, it is built on public services and user growth.
Then came the cryptic tweet of the Sun on May 30, simply subtitled “progress”.

The single word post triggered a point of 15% of the volume of transactions and pushed TRX to $ 0.1115, up 1.2% over the day. Binance’s TRX / USDT pair increased by 2.1% in a few hours, while the TRX / BTC pair also won.
The volume jumped 18% between large exchanges, and the token broke out above its mobile average at 50 days, further strengthening the haus on the short term.
Trump’s alliances: Simple Risk rupture and awards

Tron Following the best holder of President Donald Trump, he received a Trump Golden Tourbillon watch during the exclusive dinner organized by Donald Trump.
Some criticisms call this a conflict of interest, but the timing is important: the dry has recently dropped or settled business against Coinbase, Consensys, Kraken, Circle and Immutable. With the regulators that are unleashed, Tron could also gain relief, especially with the sun which pushes for the approval of an ETF Tron and the clearer rules DEFI.
The softer position of the dry is already visible. In February 2025, the agency told a federal judge that he was in talks to suspend his civil fraud trial against Sun and his companies (Tron Foundation, Bittorrent Foundation and Rainberry).
The case, deposited in 2023, had accused Sun of illegally distributing TRX and BTT tokens and stimulating trading volumes with hidden celebrities.
A break could lead to a regulation, stressing how the political ties of the sun can transform the regulatory risk into an opportunity.
