Tron is going public through a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment, and the deal is being steered by a Trump-connected investment bank. If all goes through, the rebranded Tron Inc. might even have Eric Trump sitting on its board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The merger <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">arrives<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> just months after the SEC hit pause on its fraud case against Sun. And while that investigation is still technically open, it\u2019s no longer in the way, making this the perfect moment for a pivot into the public spotlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why Now? Because the Legal Heat Cooled Off<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This kind of timing doesn\u2019t happen by accident. The SEC\u2019s case against Sun, which accused him of shady token sales and price manipulation, had been hanging over his head for more than a year. But once it was paused, the runway cleared.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Am I getting this right? <\/p>\n<p>1.

No roadshow. No underwriter headaches. Just a fast track to a Nasdaq listing, and a chance to reframe Tron as a fully legitimate corporate entity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What the Deal Actually Looks Like<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here\u2019s how it works: SRM, a small toy and licensing firm with links to Disney and SeaWorld, is merging with Tron and rebranding itself as Tron Inc. Tron will contribute up to $210 million worth of its TRX tokens to the combined entity. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SRM, on its end, will raise $100 million to buy Tron\u2019s <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tokens,<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">then<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> issue new shares and warrants as part of the structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The financial advisor? Dominari Securities, which just happens to be based in Trump Tower. Its advisory board features Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. There\u2019s already talk that Eric might take a formal leadership role at the newly public Tron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/high-risk-high-reward-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in June 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Turning Tron Into a Token Treasury<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sun isn\u2019t just trying to slap a crypto logo on a Nasdaq ticker. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He wants Tron Inc. to hold a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">huge<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> amount of TRX on its balance sheet, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">think of it like<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a crypto version of MicroStrategy\u2019s Bitcoin hoarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cpp-crypto-chart cpp-crypto-chart-99btc cpp-crypto-chart-trx\" data-coin-symbol=\"trx\" data-price-usd=\"TRX Price (USD)\" data-main-color=\"#4caf05\" data-watermark-image=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/99bitcoins-logo.png\" data-chart-style=\"99btc\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-top-section\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-info-section\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-details\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-labels-row\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-name\">TRON<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-price-info\">Price<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-market-cap\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-values-row\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-symbol\">TRX<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-market-cap-value\">$25.94B<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-selectors cpp-chart-selectors-99btc\"><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"24h\">24h<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"7d\">7d<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"30d\">30d<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"1y\">1y<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"all_time\">All time<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><canvas id=\"cpp-chart-6850c335b8e0f\" class=\"cpp-chart-container cpp-chart-container-99btc\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This opens the door to some interesting possibilities. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shareholders <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">might<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> eventually <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">get<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> dividends paid in <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">crypto<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Tron could use its public listing as a springboard to buy other projects or enter traditional markets without touching fiat.

If the agency decides to reopen it, things could get messy fast. And there\u2019s always the issue of volatility.
