Crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who founded the Tron blockchain, has become an adviser to Donald Trump's crypto project, World Liberty Financial.
The Tuesday <a href="https://x.com/worldlibertyfi/status/1861470615749972169" target="_blank">announcement</a> comes a day after <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/11/25/trumps-sluggish-de-fi-project-gets-a-big-boost-from-justin-suns-30-m-token-purchase" target="_blank">Sun bought $30 million</a> worth of World Liberty's WLFI tokens. Sales of WLFI had been <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/10/31/trumps-crypto-business-slashes-fundraise-goal-by-90-after-lackluster-sales" target="_blank">sluggish</a> before Sun's purchase.
"Justin's insights and experience will be instrumental as we continue to innovate and grow," World Liberty said on X.
World Liberty seeks to become a player in decentralized finance, or DeFi, the once-bustling lending and borrowing ecosystem.
