In March 2023, the SEC charged Sun and several entities with \u201cfraudulently manipulating the secondary market for TRX through extensive wash trading,\u201d alleging \u201cmore than 600,000 wash trades of TRX between two crypto asset trading platform accounts he controlled.\u201d The agency said this campaign created \u201cthe misleading appearance of active trading in TRX\u201d while Sun \u201cgenerated millions in illegal proceeds at the expense of investors.\u201d That case, initiated in 2023 and paused in 2025, did not include the employee-identity scheme Zeng now describes, but it laid a factual foundation: U.S. regulators already believe TRX\u2019s early market had been structurally manipulated.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"market-impact-trx-and-wlfi\">Market impact: TRX and WLFI<\/h2>\n<p>So far, markets are taking the latest claims in stride. TRON is trading around $0.28, down less than 1% over the last 24 hours, with Binance quoting 1 TRX at roughly $0.2839. Broader benchmarks are also under pressure: Bitcoin changes hands near $75,000\u2013$76,000, down roughly 4\u20135% on the day, while Ethereum trades around $2,230\u2013$2,290 after a roughly 5\u20139% 24\u2011hour slide.<\/p>\n<p>The World Liberty Financial token (WLFI), closely associated with a stablecoin-centric DeFi ecosystem whose backers include Tron-linked capital, is trading near $0.12\u2013$0.15, with Binance listing WLFI at about $0.1259 on a 24\u2011hour volume of roughly $271 million and a stated market cap of $3.37 billion. That scale\u2014combined with earlier fundraising rounds totaling an estimated $715 million across public and private sales\u2014underlines how deeply TRON-affiliated projects are now embedded in DeFi capital flows.<\/p>\n<p>For now, there is \u201cno evidence [that] proves manipulation\u201d beyond Zeng\u2019s testimony, \u201cno proof [that] confirms the relationship,\u201d and no public response from Justin Sun, TRON DAO, or Binance. The real test for TRX and WLFI will come if U.S. regulators decide Zeng\u2019s promised evidence merits formal discovery\u2014turning a volatile Twitter thread into the next chapter of an already sprawling enforcement saga.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alleged Justin Sun insider claims TRX was manipulated on Binance as SEC wash\u2011trade charges and WLFI\u2019s TRON\u2011linked footprint raise fresh regulatory questions.
