Justin Sun has thrown his weight behind a new dual-profit strategy for TRX holders, backing his call to make idle assets productive.
In a recent post on X, Sun told a TRX TRX $0.29 24h volatility: 1.2% Market cap: $27.58 B Vol. 24h: $706.34 M supporter to “start working” while promoting a system using sTRX and TRX Vault to generate layered returns from staked TRX.

The approach starts with staking TRX to receive sTRX, a staking derivative that continues to earn passive rewards. Unlike traditional staking models where assets are locked and inert, sTRX remains usable, allowing holders to unlock further strategies without giving up their yield.
This makes it a two-for-one deal as the staked TRX generates yield, while sTRX becomes a productive financial tool.
The TRX Vault adds another layer of utility, combining staking with lending functions and allowing users to deposit their sTRX.
Through this, sTRX can be used as collateral to mint USDD, TRON’s native algorithmic stablecoin. That USDD can then be deployed into other DeFi protocols, creating a compounding effect.
Here’s a simplified breakdown:
The main goal of this mechanism is to put idle assets to work. Rather than waiting for a bull market, Sun encourages TRX holders to start maximizing their returns immediately.
Justin Sun also announced a $100 million commitment to the Official Trump TRUMP $9.35 24h volatility: 6.8% Market cap: $1.87 B Vol. 24h: $560.22 M token, deepening his exposure to the presidential meme coin birthed by US President Donald Trump.
We are committed to buying $100M of $TRUMP! Together, $TRUMP and #TRON are the future of Crypto.
This move highlights our belief in collaborating across ecosystems to grow the crypto landscape with communities such as @GetTrumpMemes.$TRUMP on #TRON is the currency of #MAGA!…

Sun, already one of the largest individual $TRUMP holders with around $19 million in tokens, is looking to bridge TRON with politically exposed crypto communities.
🚨 $TRUMP is launching soon on TRON — powered by @LayerZero_Core 🚨
Thanks to LayerZero’s interoperability infrastructure, $TRUMP will move seamlessly across #TRON, connecting to the most used blockchain for real-world value transfer. https://t.co/gOtvuqXiEX

The investment coincides with TRON DAO’s launch of $TRUMP on the TRON blockchain, supported by LayerZero’s cross-chain tech.
