Eric Trump, the son of former US President Donald Trump, has confirmed he will not participate in the public offering of the Tron blockchain network in the US, although he expressed strong admiration for its founder, Justin Sun. Trump described himself as a significant fan of Tron and praised Sun as a friend and an icon in the cryptocurrency space. Despite his positive remarks, this follows a Financial Times report suggesting he would be part of a public venture involving Tron. Tron plans to go public through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a Nasdaq-listed company, which will rebrand as Tron Inc. and aims to raise $100 million for a TRX treasury. The announcement of a public offering comes after Eric Trump has been associated with cryptocurrency through the launch of their family’s platform, World Liberty Financial. This interest in crypto has also extended to projects like a digital asset mining company set to go public, amid a growing fascination with Bitcoin among various institutional actors. Trump’s focus on cryptocurrencies reflects both personal and family interests in the evolving market.
