Eric Trump Denies Ties to Justin Sun’s Tron Going Public

TheCryptoTimesPublished on 2025-06-16Last updated on 2026-07-11

Abstract

TRON is involved in a reverse merger worth 210 million dollars, which will see the company move its operations to the U.S. public market through SRM entertainment, by converting it to a Nasdaq listed firm.

Eric Trump has come out to dismiss claims he held the executive job at the new Tron Inc after the reverse merger bid of TRON and SRM entertainment. The rejection comes after early news indicates that the Trump family member was to be part of the blockchain firm in its American expansion.

.@tier10k I’m the biggest fan of Tron and love @justinsuntron – he is a great friend and an icon in the crypto space. That said the below is inaccurate – I don’t have public involvement in this company. https://t.co/CDt0uudY1s

Even though taking a step back, in relation to an official post, Eric Trump has shown his support to TRON founder Justin Sun, emphasizing a shared appreciation. This dispelling is followed by the fact that TRON is involved in a reverse merger worth 210 million dollars, which will see the company move its operations to the U.S. public market through SRM entertainment, by converting it to a Nasdaq listed firm.


The growth in the crypto market has already improved after the merger. The native token of TRON, TRX increased by 5 per cent in the aftermath of the announcement which points to the investors being convinced in the new strategy of the project- despite the issues of leadership.

The deal will be defined as a major equity investment of 100 million dollars in SRM with TRX tokens, like a treasury model, but this time Bitcoin is replaced with another cryptocurrency. This kind of approach has the potential to change the storage and valuation of digital assets in the business world of publicly traded companies.


Innovation and Leadership Vision: TRON The vision that guides TRON is to become a leading industry in the world with the aim to transform the world by providing innovative solutions. TRON recognizes the leadership requirements and ensures that it meets the requirements of what is required out of it.


The recent statement by Justin Sun highlighted the mission of TRON and how it can transform digital payments by fueling blockchain and stablecoins. TRON has more than 310 million users and its daily transaction volume exceeds $20 billion, a factor which envisages its domination in global on-chain settlement.

Can Solana reverse its ‘worst quarter’ since 2023 as fees drop 78%?

Solana's on-chain activity has hit its lowest point since late 2023, with network fees plummeting 78% year-over-year to $51 million in Q2 2026. This dramatic drop in user-paid fees signals a severe contraction in network usage, coinciding with a broader crypto market downturn that has diminished Solana's role as a speculative hub. Despite a projected market bottom and emerging positive signs in areas like stablecoins and tokenization, capital inflows into SOL remain weak. SOL's Realized Cap has fallen to $73 billion, indicating $24 billion in outflows since last year. While SOL's price recently recovered to $84, reclaiming a key support level of $75, its upside is capped near $92. A potential sell-off from $14.2 million in stolen SOL could further test this crucial support.

Ethereum uses less power than British Museum – Here’s what changed

Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in "The Merge" has drastically reduced its energy consumption. The network now uses approximately 7.87 GWh of electricity annually, less than half the British Museum's usage, marking a reduction of over 99.9% from pre-Merge levels. This has also cut its carbon footprint by 99.98% to an estimated 2.37 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, comparable to the emissions of about 900 UK households. The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) reports that Ethereum's infrastructure remains decentralized, though geographically concentrated, with 62% of nodes hosted in the US, Germany, Finland, and France. About 56.4% of its electricity comes from sustainable sources, primarily nuclear and renewables, exceeding the global average. Future developments like stateless verification may further reduce energy needs. Meanwhile, Ethereum's development enters a new phase with "Lean Ethereum," a multi-year overhaul plan for the network's evolution. At the time of reporting, ETH's price saw a slight increase, trading near $1,800.

Robinhood enters AI crypto trading: ‘World is flat’ presentation reveals US expansion

Robinhood is expanding its crypto offerings by introducing AI-powered trading agents for eligible U.S. customers, as revealed in its 'World is flat' presentation. These agents will execute crypto trades on a user's behalf, provide real-time profit and loss tracking, and send push notifications, allowing users to set specific strategies without constant monitoring. Robinhood positions this as a major step toward giving retail traders advantages previously held by institutions. The company, which previously launched equities and options trading in the U.S., plans to expand the AI agent service to the UK soon. This move follows similar initiatives by other exchanges like Kraken and Coinbase, which launched AI agentic trading in 2026. However, current usage of such AI trading protocols remains relatively low, with transaction volumes and activity suggesting the market has yet to fully embrace the technology. Robinhood's entry could potentially broaden the adoption of AI-driven crypto trading.

Robinhood Chain flips Hyperliquid – 2 metrics show speculative interest

Robinhood Chain, a new Ethereum Layer 2, has rapidly become a major hub for speculative trading, surpassing Hyperliquid and BNB Chain in daily DEX volume. Its volume skyrocketed from under $10 million to a record $600 million, driven largely by viral memecoins like CashCat and a public bet by Robinhood's CEO. This surge has positioned it as the fourth-largest chain for such activity. However, the memecoin frenzy has reignited a broader debate about the value of L2s to Ethereum. Critics, including Bankless's David Hoffman, argue L2s operate as largely independent chains that do not economically benefit ETH. Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams countered that ETH-denominated trading pairs could increase ETH burns. The debate centers on whether L2 growth, while scaling Ethereum, ultimately undermines ETH's value by reducing transaction fees burned on the mainnet.
