The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed for a stay in the lawsuit against billionaire Justin Sun, founder of Tron. In the relevant documents, both Sun and the regulatory body expressed a mutual interest in pausing the case to explore potential resolutions.
Legal Proceedings and Allegations
In 2023, Sun faced allegations of fraud alongside cryptocurrency firms, including unregistered securities sales and manipulation of cryptocurrency asset prices. Reports indicated that Sun had invested millions in former U.S. President Donald Trump’s decentralized finance platform that same year. The filings suggested that a stay in proceedings would allow for more efficient use of judicial resources.
Court Decision and Related Statements
U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos approved the request for a stay. This decision was made to support efforts to seek resolution without disrupting current court processes. It is believed that this development could influence the trajectory of the legal proceedings.
“Both parties stated that pausing this matter would benefit them, support resolution efforts, and prevent harm to either side.”

In April, the Tron Foundation sought dismissal of the case, arguing that the SEC lacks authority over foreign platforms and investments. Tron’s attorneys contended that the SEC is not a global regulator and that enforcing U.S. securities laws on foreign activities is unnecessary.
“The SEC is not a global regulator. It should exclude activities outside the U.S.”

This development has become a topic of great interest among cryptocurrency stakeholders. The request for a stay appears to allow both parties to enter negotiations for an amicable resolution.
Future updates regarding this matter may be clarified by statements from both parties and regulatory bodies. Keeping a close watch on these developments will help stakeholders gain more detailed insights into the ongoing process.
