- Charles Hoskinson ridiculed the election of Justin Sun as Liberland’s Prime Minister.

- Crypto community discussed the potential surge in TRX adoption.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano blockchain, had a hilarious reaction on the news of Tron founder Justin Sun being elected as the Prime Minister of Liberland, a self-proclaimed micronation. Liberland, situated on the border of Croatia and Serbia, has approximately 800 citizens and covers around 1,700 acres.
Reacting on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson shared a 28-second clip of himself laughing, seemingly mocking Sun’s appointment as the Prime Minister of Liberland. Justin Sun recently left his active role in the Tron DAO to pursue political ambitions. He also served as the Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO) from 2021 to 2023.
The crypto community on X was lit up on Sun’s unexpected shift to politics, noting how far he has come since founding Tron. Users speculate this development could be bullish for the Tron ecosystem, as it might expand into international borders and micronations (read “Liberland”.) Sun’s new political role could also boost his political resume in the long run.
