加密亿万富翁孙宇晨（Justin Sun）旗下的数字资产平台 Tron 将在美国上市，此前美国监管机构暂停了对他旗下几家公司进行的欺诈调查。
据知情人士透露，Tron 将通过与纳斯达克上市公司 SRM Entertainment 进行反向并购方式上市，此交易由总部位于纽约、与小唐纳德·特朗普和埃里克·特朗普关系密切的精品投行 Dominari Securities 操盘。
其中一位知情人士称，新公司将采用类似于 Strategy（前身为 MicroStrategy）的模式，买入并持有 Tron 代币。Strategy 创始人 Michael Saylor 将其公司转型为高杠杆比特币投资工具。消息称，埃里克·特朗普将出任新公司 Tron Inc 的高管职位。
该交易还包括 Tron 向新公司注入高达 2.1 亿美元的代币资产，这是特朗普自第二任总统任期以来，美国加密行业激增交易中的最新一笔。
在 2023 年，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）曾以涉嫌发行未注册证券和操纵市场为由，对孙宇晨及其旗下三家公司（包括 Tron）提起指控。
但随着特朗普在其第二任期内表态希望对加密行业采取更“宽松”的监管策略，SEC 与孙宇晨在今年 2 月联合向法院申请中止诉讼，以探索和解可能性。
此后，孙宇晨不断加强与特朗普家族的关系。今年 5 月，他与其余 24 位最大的 $TRUMP（特朗普梗币）持有者 一起，参加了特朗普在弗吉尼亚国家高尔夫俱乐部举办的宴会。
此外，孙还向特朗普家族的加密项目 World Liberty Financial 投入 7500 万美元。这家公司已经为特朗普带来了 5700 万美元收入。上周，World Liberty 还在由孙宇晨创办的 Tron 区块链上发行了首批稳定币（数字美元）。
孙宇晨长期以来被视为加密行业中最具争议的人物之一，因其高调行为频频登上新闻头条。2019 年，他曾花 460 万美元中标与沃伦·巴菲特共进午餐的慈善拍卖。2023 年，他又以 620 万美元购入一根“贴在墙上的香蕉”艺术品，并当众吃掉，引发轰动。
孙宇晨出生于中国，现为圣基茨和尼维斯公民，并曾担任格林纳达常驻世界贸易组织代表。

据《金融时报》此前报道，在该行于 2 月 11 日提交文件披露 小唐纳德·特朗普和埃里克·特朗普加入顾问委员会之后，其母公司 Dominari Holdings 股价在六周内飙涨 580%。
Dominari 还持有一家加密矿企 American Bitcoin，该公司与知名矿商 Hut 8 合作开发比特币矿场和战略储备仓，原名 American Data Centers，今年 3 月完成重组。
此外，Dominari 也为埃隆·马斯克旗下数家私营企业（如 SpaceX 和 xAI）筹集了数百万美元资金。
