Tron [TRX]’s Justin Sun teases users with secret partnership; community speculates Alibaba involvement

On 12th October, Justin Sun enticed users with another secret announcement that has blown up Twitter with comments and speculation by users and enthusiasts. Justin tweeted:

“Finally, First time to partner with tens of billions USD valuation industry giant. Guess the name #TRON #TRX $TRX”

The partnership comes in the wake of several tie-ups that the Tron Foundation has conducted with the latest announcement adding fuel to the already blazing fire. The Justin Sun led company has ensured that it garners media attention with several posts not just by the Founder, but also by several social media handles related to the company. The last time the company set the Twitter sphere abuzz was when it revealed its acquisition of BitTorrent.

On 23rd July, Tron had confirmed the acquisition of BitTorrent and declared Tron to be the “largest decentralized Internet ecosystem in the world”. BitTorrent currently has an active user base of over 150 million.

Justin Sun had then tweeted:

“Proud to announce @BitTorrent and @uTorrent are now part of the #TRON family. BitTorrent is supported by over 100M active users. Together we are building the future of the decentralized Internet! Stay tuned for updates #TRONBT $TRX @Tronfoundation …”

The latest announcement has received a lot of attention by members of the crypto sphere with several of them commenting on the Sun’s post.

Rahul Sharma, a Twitter user said:

“Alibaba come on just say it.”

thecryptomaniac, another user stated:

“Can’t wait to know!. It could be anyone…. What a freaking great way to end the week no matter who it is!. Thank you!!!. #HODLTRX”

A lot of users are speculating the secret partnership to be with Chinese marketplace behemoth, Alibaba. The rumor seems to be fueled by Justin Sun’s association with Alibaba, a connection that trails back to Sun graduating from Alibaba’s Executive Chairman Jack Ma’s Hupan University.
