Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, will join Tron Inc. as an advisor. He highlighted that blockchains and stablecoins are seeing increasing real-world applications, stating, "With over 310 million international user accounts and average daily transactions exceeding $20 billion, TRON strives to be the protocol of choice for on-chain settlement serving mass populations worldwide."
Tron Inc. plans to establish a dividend policy following the introduction of a TRX staking program utilizing company assets. The announcement also follows reports that Tether, a major stablecoin issuer, minted an additional $1 billion in USDT on the Tron network, surpassing its authorized supply on Ethereum.
On a regulatory front, this development aligns with a thaw in relations between the SEC and Justin Sun, who recently requested a pause in an ongoing SEC suit to facilitate settlement discussions. Sun himself has engaged in transactions involving Trump-themed memecoins, which he has leveraged for personal and political connections.
