Tron founder Justin Sun has responded to a Wall Street Journal report alleging that Binance executives offered evidence against him to the U.S. Department of Justice in exchange for a pathway back into the American market. The report claims that Binance, led by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), met with U.S. Treasury officials as part of a broader strategy to regain regulatory access, during which they allegedly offered information implicating Sun.
In a series of statements on the X platform, Sun dismissed the report’s implications and reaffirmed his unwavering trust in CZ, calling him both a mentor and a close friend who has supported him throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Sun emphasized that TRON maintains a collaborative and transparent relationship with U.S. authorities, particularly the Department of Justice, describing them as “trusted partners” committed to user protection.
He asserted that TRON’s ongoing work with the DOJ focuses on safeguarding global users and pointed to open communication with regulatory bodies as a cornerstone of their approach. Sun further voiced optimism about the future of TRON in the United States, stating that TRX is poised to benefit from what he anticipates will be favorable crypto policy under a renewed Trump administration. Declaring “ALL IN USA!”, he positioned TRON as a frontrunner in the next phase of American crypto growth.
CZ, for his part, dismissed the WSJ report ahead of its release, labeling it a “baseless hit piece.” He previously denied similar allegations that the Trump family was seeking a stake in Binance.US in return for a pardon deal, calling those claims unfounded.
In a separate legal development, Binance and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) jointly requested a 60-day extension on their ongoing legal case, citing “productive discussions” and the need for additional time to pursue resolution through continued negotiations.
