Justin Sun
Justin Sun (Chinese: 孙宇晨; pinyin: Sūn Yǔchén; born July 30, 1990) is a Chinese-born Kittitian crypto billionaire and businessman. He is the founder of TRON, a company that develops the TRON blockchain with the associated Tronix (TRX) cryptocurrency token, as well as USDD, a stablecoin issued by TRON DAO Reserve. Sun is also the owner of Rainberry (formerly BitTorrent Inc.), which developed the BitTorrent protocol and under Sun's leadership developed the BTT cryptocurrency token. Sun also owns the crypto currency exchanges Poloniex and HTX (formerly Huobi). Sun was Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva from 2021 to 2023.
According to Forbes, Sun is the 411th-richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated at $8.5 billion as of April 2026. His net worth is largely held in cryptocurrency, including Tronix tokens (TRX), of which he owns the majority as of 2025.
Sun's companies have been investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After having formed business ties with Donald Trump, who became president in 2025, Sun's companies received more lenient treatment by the SEC.
Sun was born in 1990. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in history from Peking University and a Master of Arts degree in East Asian studies from the University of Pennsylvania.
At the University of Pennsylvania, Sun became interested in cryptocurrency and invested early in bitcoin. He studied at Jack Ma's Zhejiang Hupan Entrepreneurship Research Center. He became the cover figure of Yazhou Zhoukan in 2011 and a Davos Global Shaper in 2014.
In late 2013, Sun joined Ripple Labs as chief representative and adviser.
Sun founded the blockchain-based operating platform TRON and launched the Tronix (TRX) token in 2017. In September 2017 his company Tron held an initial coin offering (ICO) for the TRX token, a few days before the Chinese government banned ICOs. According to The Verge, Sun was aware of the impending ban, and pushed for the sale to occur before the ban could be announced. Shortly afterwards, Sun left China for the United States. TRON raised about $70 million at its ICO. A cryptocurrency whitepaper Sun published attracted controversy following allegations that it was heavily derivative of earlier cryptocurrency whitepapers without any attribution. As of 2025, Sun currently controls the majority of TRX tokens in circulation.
In June 2018, Sun acquired the company BitTorrent, Inc (later renamed Rainberry Inc.) for $140 million. The company is best known for developing the BitTorrent protocol. During his tenure leading BitTorrent as CEO, the BitTorrent network launched its own utility token, BTT.
