Brother Sun rang the bell, while the melon in my hand suddenly lost its appeal.
— From the “Jia Yueting of the crypto world” to the god of Nasdaq, Sun Yuchen silenced all his critics with a single bell toll.
At this moment, the bell in Times Square rings for the crypto civilization!
Now he stands at the center of Wall Street's financial temple, with the big screen behind him flashing the golden logo of “TRON.Inc,” this recently renamed listed company announced: it will include Tron’s native token TRX in its core strategic reserve assets, Brother Sun passionately declared into the microphone: “This is a significant moment for the entire blockchain industry!”
A Chinese man who was sued for fraud by the SEC and labeled the “king of air coins” by the internet, pulled Wall Street's strings into the blockchain era.
My friend circle suddenly erupted with two types of people: those who once shouted “Sun, cut and run” now crazily spamming “Brother Sun, you are my god!”; and the loyal critics who have been cursing him for ten years, squeezing out the soul-searching three questions: “What to do? What else can be done? Should we go all in?”
Top-level “troublemaker” persona: Controversy is a traffic nuclear power station; while ordinary entrepreneurs worry about cold starts, Sun Yuchen has already grasped the essence of the internet:
“Black and red are also red, as long as it can shine on the Nasdaq billboard.”
• 2019: Spent 4.57 million dollars to buy a lunch with Buffett, only to stand him up and give Buffett a Tron phone, which led to online backlash calling him a “scammer”; he smiled and said: “The traditional financial sector needs to digest blockchain.”
• 2024: Spent 6.2 million dollars on “a banana on the wall” (an artwork), ate it in public and commented: “Sweeter than an ordinary banana,” netizens laughed at him for money laundering, he wiped his mouth: “I’m connecting the crypto world and the art community’s dimensional wall.”
• 2024: Spent 17.9 million dollars to buy Trump coins, locked in the C position for the “meme coin dinner,” media criticized him for speculation, he waved his Trump co-branded watch: “This is the new financial order of the free world.”
One banana leverages global headlines ≈ 6.2 million dollars.
Regulatory “sit-ups”: From SEC defendant to reconciliation pioneer, while the retail investors still tremble in fear of policy iron fists, Brother Sun performs a textbook-level counterattack:
• 2023: Sued by the SEC for fraud and market manipulation, FBI investigates money laundering allegations, rumors of “up to 25 years sentence.”
• February 2025: SEC actively suspends litigation, Trump government hints at support for relaxed regulations.
• 7 months later: He stands at the Nasdaq bell-ringing platform, with Trump's family operator Dominari investment bank behind him.
Brother Sun's philosophy: “When you are beaten by regulators, don’t ask ‘what to do,’ think ‘what else can be done’ — for example, buying a seat at Trump’s dinner, and then buying Nasdaq's shell.”
On-chain Empire: Real data slaps faces, while haters are still brushing off “Tron is a scam,” on-chain data has already supported the foundation of new finance:
• 320 million users: One in every two crypto users globally has used TRON.
• 81.6 billion USDT: Supporting 60% of global stablecoin payments, daily settlements topping 3 PayPal.
• 24.6 billion dollars locked: Real money lies in the DEFI ecosystem, not just a paper house of “only trading, not creating.”
Political arbitrage: The “red-capped businessman” of the crypto age, Brother Sun taught young people a brutal lesson:
“When regulatory hammer strikes, ordinary people think about fleeing, while geniuses think — who is swinging the hammer?”
• Accurately betting on Trump's camp, injecting 75 million dollars into his family project WLFI.
• Trump's eldest and second sons serve as advisors to Dominari investment bank, managing a 210 million dollar reverse merger for Tron.
• When the Nasdaq bell rang throughout Times Square, Eric Trump posted on X: “The decentralized revolution has begun!”
Token economics: The “overt strategy” of listed companies, retail investors think he’s trading coins, but he’s actually restructuring the capital game:
• Shell listing: Stuffing 365 million TRX into a Nasdaq-listed company’s treasury, replicating MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy.
• Dual-track harvesting: Traditional shareholders buy TRON stocks, crypto players hold TRX tokens, mutual liquidity feeds each other.
• Deflation bomb: Community votes to reduce TRX production by 50%, annual deflation rate skyrockets to 1.29% — stakeholders, retail investors, and listed companies all become a community of interests.
Brother Sun's life script is essentially the (Zhen Huan Zhuan) of crypto civilization:
• Early (2017): Criticized as a “scam coin exploiting retail investors,” he quietly moved Tron to Grenada as legal tender.
• Mid-term (2022): Accused of money laundering, he countersues Sina for defamation and wins, receiving 31,338 yuan in compensation.
• Now (2025): The whole internet looks up to him ringing the bell.
When the bell stopped ringing, Times Square's big screen switched to Tron stock price (10-day surge of 10 times!), I suddenly realized:
1. “What to do? What else can be done?” Not lying flat, but the survival wisdom of breaking through cracks under the regulatory iron curtain;
2. All controversies are stepping stones for crypto civilization — as long as you can pack the criticism into Nasdaq's financial report.
3. While ordinary people are still debating “is this a scam,” Brother Sun answers with action: “I created the history of Wall Street.”
