- Liberland Prime Minister Justin Sun was notably absent from Donald Trump‘s inauguration despite prior announcements.
- Sun’s name was removed from official Liberland press releases about the inauguration and Davos events.
- Sun has invested $75 million in Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLF) project.
- WLF has purchased $48 million of Sun’s Wrapped Bitcoin and $7.5 million of TRX.
- The SEC’s ongoing case against Sun may have influenced his absence from US events.
Cryptocurrency entrepreneur and Liberland Prime Minister Justin Sun failed to appear at former President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration events, contradicting earlier announcements about his anticipated attendance alongside close Trump allies.
Mysterious Absence from Key Events
Official documentation from Liberland, a self-proclaimed micronation, initially listed Sun as an attendee for multiple inaugural events, including the swearing-in ceremony and Starlight Ball. However, subsequent updates to these documents removed all mentions of Sun’s participation.
The absence was particularly notable given Sun’s public statements about meeting with Eric Trump and real estate developer Steve Witkoff during the inauguration festivities.
Financial Ties to Trump-Related Ventures
Despite his physical absence, Sun maintains substantial financial connections to Trump-affiliated projects. His recent $75 million investment in World Liberty Financial (WLF) demonstrates this commitment. The relationship appears mutual, with WLF acquiring $48 million worth of Sun’s Wrapped Bitcoin and $7.5 million in TRX tokens.
Regulatory Challenges
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Sun in 2023 for allegedly selling unregistered securities and manipulating markets. The SEC recently tron-founder-justin-sun-named-advisor-to-trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-following-30-million-investment”>strengthened its case by documenting Sun’s extensive US activities, particularly in San Francisco.
This regulatory pressure may explain Sun’s conspicuous absence from US-based events, including his role as Liberland Prime Minister – a position he reportedly holds without clear evidence of ever visiting the self-declared nation.
Representatives from Liberland have not responded to requests for clarification about Sun’s attendance status or his removal from official documentation.
