Sun Brother attends Trump's banquet, reshaping the crypto chessboard: Has the breakthrough moment for HTX and TRX arrived?
HTX and TRX may be standing at an underappreciated major turning point.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsIn May 2025, a message that quickly went viral across social platforms shook the entire crypto market: Sun CEO—the renowned global crypto entrepreneur, founder of TRON, global advisor of Huobi HTX, and largest holder of the TRUMP token—was officially invited to attend a private dinner with Trump in the United States. From this moment, a new narrative emerged—Sun CEO + the Trump family + a shift in crypto policy + the multi-sided Web3 ecosystem of $HTX and TRX—potentially becoming a key force reshaping the next phase of the global crypto economy.
What does this actually mean? Why is it happening now? What concrete benefits will HTX tokens (the core token of HTX DAO and the ecosystem empowerment token of the HTX exchange) and TRX gain from this? Below, we will analyze the key variables and systemic opportunities behind this "crypto-geopolitical game."
1. Sun CEO and Trump: From "Trump Whale" to "Strategic Ally of the Trump Family"?
Sun CEO’s trip to the U.S. for this dinner is not merely a simple act of a "token whale meeting his idol." As one of the largest on-chain holders of the TRUMP token, Sun CEO’s holding behavior itself sends a significant market signal. More importantly, his decision to travel to the U.S. at this moment, engage with the Trump family, and promote the integration of crypto assets into mainstream financial markets reveals a clear strategic intent:
Trump has become the strongest voice for a "crypto-friendly" presidency.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump rapidly gained support from the crypto community by promoting slogans such as "America needs a Bitcoin strategic reserve." Sun CEO's appearance alongside him not only symbolizes effective communication between TRX, HTX, and President Trump but also signifies a major step toward a regulatory environment favorable to the U.S. crypto industry.
The successful penetration of the Trump family’s project WLFI into the crypto market owes much to Sun CEO’s influence and resources within the industry. Compared to traditional supporters, Sun CEO possesses greater global reach, extensive ecosystem resources, and on-chain traffic. Behind him lies a powerful network of crypto ecosystems and communities capable of mobilization. For the Trump family’s project WLFI, partnering with Sun CEO means leveraging triple leverage—access to the Asia-Pacific market, native crypto communities, and the Web3 financial system.
Therefore, this dinner is more than just a symbolic social gesture of "handshakes and smiles"—it’s laying the groundwork for the next crypto cycle.
2. How HTX and WLFI Will Co-Pioneer a New Era of Crypto Finance
Huobi HTX has undergone brand transformation, technological upgrades, and product-line restructuring over the past few years, making it one of the very few mainstream exchanges to achieve positive growth during the crypto winter of Q1 this year. The current collaboration with WLFI, the crypto project under the Trump family, positions Huobi HTX as a major beneficiary under crypto-friendly policies and further solidifies its role as the core platform for WLFI’s strategic rollout.
The following aspects will become core catalysts for HTX DAO in its next phase:
1. Becoming a key beneficiary under crypto-friendly policies
Given the immense policy influence of the U.S. on global financial markets, any entity benefiting from U.S. policy advantages gains critical momentum for global expansion. As the self-governing body of Huobi HTX, HTX DAO is highly likely to become one of the first real beneficiaries of crypto-friendly policies thanks to the cooperation background between Sun CEO and the Trump family’s WLFI. This will positively boost global user confidence in HTX DAO, expectations around exchange security, and asset custody capabilities.
2. Gaining first-mover advantage in on-chain dollar infrastructure
If the GENIUS Act or stablecoin legislation passes smoothly, the Trump administration will have greater room to advance the concept of an "on-chain dollar." Huobi HTX has long focused on USDT/USDC trading pairs. If granted exemption from the U.S. "non-domestic platform issuance list," it could participate in building on-chain dollar infrastructure, becoming one of the "first movers." Should the bill pass, $HTX could benefit from early adopter advantages and time-based premiums driven by liquidity growth on the HTX exchange, boosting scarcity-driven valuation.
3. Serving as foundational liquidity provider for the Trump family in crypto assets
As cooperation deepens, if the TRUMP token and subsequent meme and DeFi tokens choose Huobi HTX as one of their primary listing and trading venues, Huobi HTX will experience geometric growth in user traffic and trading depth. These meme tokens like TRUMP will evolve beyond community consensus into widely used on-chain financial tools, positioning Huobi HTX as the original source of liquidity for high-quality meme tokens. In the future, Huobi HTX and HTX DAO will not only serve as Sun CEO’s tactical bridge but also become pivotal nodes linking narratives under crypto-friendly policies.
3. Behind the Cooperation: A Signal of Shifting Global Crypto Order
This collaboration between Sun CEO and WLFI, the crypto project under the Trump family, benefits not only $HTX/TRX but may also become a "narrative breakout point"—transforming Web3 from a technical application platform into the preferred gateway and bridge for numerous financial institutions under crypto-friendly policies.
Following Trump’s election as U.S. President, with the SEC softening its stance, the potential dismissal of the Coinbase case, and the implementation of stablecoin legislation, the world is gradually entering a crypto-friendly regulatory environment.
In this historic collaboration, Sun CEO represents not just TRX and HTX, but an entire system encompassing decentralized finance, meme culture, cross-border community governance, and on-chain identity consensus. And he is attempting to find a new global financial order within the context of Trump’s "crypto-friendly" agenda.
Final Thoughts
Years ago, Sun CEO paid a fortune to win the Buffett lunch, aiming to open the door to traditional finance. This time, his dinner with Trump is more than another high-level meeting—it may be a strategic bet on "crypto dominance." HTX and TRX might be standing at a vastly underestimated turning point. Perhaps it’s time we start asking—If memes are the "emotional currency" of the blockchain, then who will anchor the "power currency" of the chain? Sun CEO and Trump are already providing the answer.
