On January 22, 2025, a significant market event was triggered by a tweet from Justin Sun, the President of TRON, who stated, "The second purchase often holds special symbolic significance, as it represents not just a transaction but a reaffirmation of the initial decision. You’ve been selling, and the president has been buying—it’s as simple as that." (Source: X post by Justin Sun on January 22, 2025). Following this statement, TRON (TRX) experienced an immediate surge in price. At 10:00 AM UTC, TRX was trading at $0.085, and within 30 minutes, it rose to $0.092, marking a 8.24% increase (Source: CoinMarketCap data at 10:30 AM UTC, January 22, 2025).

This event not only affected TRX but also had ripple effects across other major cryptocurrencies.
