Crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who founded the Tron blockchain, has become an adviser to Donald Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial.

The Tuesday announcement comes a day after Sun bought $30 million worth of World Liberty’s WLFI tokens. Sales of WLFI had been sluggish before Sun’s purchase.
