On January 22, 2025, Justin Sun, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space, announced a significant transaction involving the purchase of TRON (TRX) by the president of a major organization, as indicated in his tweet at 14:35 UTC (Sun, 2025). This purchase, highlighted as the second transaction, was noted to have a symbolic significance, suggesting a reaffirmation of initial investment decisions. The exact amount of TRX purchased was not disclosed, but the market reacted swiftly. At 14:40 UTC, the price of TRX on the Binance exchange rose from $0.065 to $0.070 within five minutes of the announcement, reflecting a 7.69% increase (Binance, 2025). Concurrently, trading volume surged by 35% from 100 million TRX to 135 million TRX during this period, indicating heightened market interest (CoinMarketCap, 2025). Additionally, the TRX/USDT trading pair on Huobi also experienced a similar uptick, with prices increasing from $0.064 to $0.069 at 14:42 UTC, alongside a 30% rise in trading volume from 80 million to 104 million TRX (Huobi, 2025). The TRX/BTC pair on OKEx showed a slight lag, with prices moving from 0.00000125 BTC to 0.00000135 BTC by 14:45 UTC, and a 25% increase in volume from 50 million to 62.5 million TRX (OKEx, 2025). On-chain metrics further revealed that the number of active TRX addresses increased by 15% from 50,000 to 57,500 within the hour following the announcement (Tronscan, 2025), indicating broader market participation.

The implications of this purchase on the TRON market are profound. The immediate price surge and volume increase suggest strong market confidence in TRON's future, potentially driven by the perceived endorsement from the president's repeated investment. At 14:50 UTC, the TRX/USDT pair on Binance saw a continued rise to $0.072, a 10.77% increase from the pre-announcement level (Binance, 2025).

The market's response indicates a robust bullish sentiment, likely fueled by the symbolic nature of the president's second purchase. On-chain data further supported this sentiment, showing an increase in the number of large transactions (over 1 million TRX) by 20% from 100 to 120 transactions within the hour post-announcement (Tronscan, 2025), suggesting that institutional investors were also reacting positively to the news.
