According to the Financial Times, Tron plans to go public in the U.S. via a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment. The deal is being orchestrated by Dominari Securities, an investment bank linked to the Trump family.
Sources indicate that Tron will inject up to $210 million in token assets into the newly formed joint entity, which will adopt a Strategy-style investment strategy, purchasing and holding TRX as a treasury asset. While the mechanics of the transaction involve internal capital circulation, the listing could provide Tron access to U.S. equity markets and a new base of investors.
