Tron Founder Sues Trump Family's Crypto Venture Over Frozen Token Holdings

Justin Sun, founder of Tron cryptocurrency, has taken his grievances to court against World Liberty Financial, a digital currency venture co-founded by US President Donald Trump's family.

Sun alleges that World Liberty secretly installed tools to prevent the sale of his tokens after they became tradeable in September 2025. The company allegedly threatened to 'burn' or permanently delete Sun's holdings, which are worth around $320 million, even while they were still in his digital wallet.
