Tron’s $210M IPO Backed by Trump Allies

Tron goes public via SRM merger after SEC probe pause. Trump family ties deepen, $210M in tokens injected. SRM stock up 647%. What this means for the future of crypto IPOs.

Tron is Going Public and the Trump Family Is In the Room

In a bold move with massive implications for crypto’s Wall Street future, Tron has announced plans to go public through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, just four months after the SEC put its fraud investigation into founder Justin Sun on ice. The $210 million token injection makes this one of the largest crypto-backed IPO attempts in U.S. history and it’s coming with political firepower.

Dominari Securities, a boutique investment bank with deep connections to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, is leading the deal. SRM shares exploded +647% on the news, as investors scrambled to front-run what could become the new MicroStrategy for Tron. Dominari is based in Trump Tower, just floors beneath the Trump Organization itself.

Trump Family’s Quiet—but Strategic—Involvement

While Eric Trump posted on X that he has “no public involvement,” SEC disclosures and insider sources confirm the family’s growing financial exposure to digital assets. Justin Sun reportedly invested $75 million into Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, which recently launched a dollar-backed stablecoin on the Tron blockchain marking a full-circle merger of Trump politics and Sun’s crypto empire.

According to the Financial Times, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were added to Dominari’s advisory board just weeks before the IPO announcement. Meanwhile, Dominari's parent company shares surged +580% leading up to the filing. Timing? Coincidence? You decide.

SEC, Strategy, and the Path to Institutional Legitimacy

Tron’s IPO echoes Strategy's pivot to a Bitcoin treasury model but this time with Trump backing and an SEC more open to crypto in the post-Gensler era. The paused fraud case (linked to alleged market manipulation and unregistered securities) now seems less like a red flag and more like a green light in D.C.'s shifting crypto narrative.

The message is clear: crypto is back in Washington's favor, and Tron is seizing the moment.

  • SRM stock is now under heavy retail and institutional surveillance
  • Tron Inc., the new entity, is expected to trade publicly by Q3 2025
  • Tron token price could follow suit, especially if memecoin momentum continues
  • The Trump–Sun axis may unlock regulatory pathways others can’t replicate

This isn’t just another crypto IPO, it’s a calculated bet that political capital and blockchain tech can co-exist in the public markets. With $210M in token assets, a 647% surge in share price, and strategic alignment with U.S. political heavyweights, Tron is signaling that crypto IPOs are not just back, they’re evolving.
