Justin Sun, that ever-charming founder of the Tron Foundation, took to X to announce the news that would surely put a smile on anyone’s face: the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had officially dismissed all claims against him. This came after the completion of a neat little $10 million settlement. How convenient.
The lawsuit itself, dear reader, dates back to the most dramatic period in crypto history. It all began when the previous SEC administration, riding high on their war against the wild world of crypto, decided to come after Sun and his merry band of crypto crusaders. The allegations? A little thing called “multiple trading schemes.” No big deal, right?
Lawsuit Dismissed: Can You Hear the Applause?
According to Sun, he was “very pleased” with the outcome. After all, what else would one say when one is $10 million lighter but free of all charges? He described this ruling as “bringing closure.” But not to worry, he isn’t slowing down-he will continue building, because that’s what you do when the storm passes and the sun finally shines.
Sun also pointed out that the United States, which desperately wants to become a global crypto hub (as the Trump administration often pointed out), will be the center of his future endeavors. After all, why not focus on the land of freedom, crypto, and questionable political decisions?
I am very pleased to confirm that the SEC has moved to dismiss all claims against me, Tron Foundation, and BitTorrent Foundation.
Today’s resolution brings closure, but I never stopped building. I will continue to focus on accelerating innovation in the United States and around…

The decision, wrapped in the warm glow of a $10 million settlement, came with a little note from US District Judge Edgardo Ramos. He reminded everyone that Sun and his companies neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing. But of course, who needs that messy detail when you’re “very pleased” with your bank balance?
The Lawsuit Itself: A Tale of Unregistered Crypto Dreams
Ah, yes, the lawsuit. It all started in 2023, when Sun was accused of organizing the unregistered sale of crypto securities tied to the TRX and BTT tokens. On top of that, the SEC claimed he manipulated trading volumes like a master puppeteer. The accusations included wash trading schemes and artificially inflating TRX’s trading volume between 2018 and 2019. Some 600,000 illegal trades later, the Tron Foundation was allegedly up to no good, according to the SEC.
And let’s not forget the small matter of Sun allegedly generating a whopping $31 million by selling a portion of TRX tokens on the secondary market. No biggie, just your average Tuesday in the world of crypto manipulation.
Fast forward two years, and the lawsuit took an unexpected turn. The US watchdog, deciding to hit pause on the whole thing, asked the court to issue a stay. Then, the winds of political change swept in, and Sun found himself backing Trump-linked crypto ventures. That little purchase of billions of WLFI tokens? Well, that made him the largest supporter of World Liberty Financial. Talk about a plot twist!
Though TRX and BTT took a nosedive when the lawsuit first dropped, Sun’s announcement didn’t cause the world to end. TRX went up a modest 0.5%, and BTT, not to be outdone, dropped by 1%. A truly breathtaking market response. Can’t win ’em all, right?
