Sun, which owns the Tron, BitTorrent and Rainberry cryptocurrency platforms, announced Monday that it has invested $30 million in World Liberty Financial, another ‘crypto platform’ backed by President-elect Trump, and is now its main investor.
Justin Sun, the Chinese entrepreneur who bought an “artwork” consisting of a banana stuck on a wall for $6.2 million at an auction in New York, opted to eat it during a press conference in Hong Kong.
Banana was part of the controversial work “Comedian” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan
The Guardian reported that the Sun kept its promise at a luxurious Hong Kong hotel, where between banquets and flashes, devoured the fruit in front of dozens of journalists and influential social media. “It’s much better than other bananas,” Sun said, according to DW, after trying his first bite after presenting a series of parallels between art and cryptocurrencies.
The acquisition of this “work” arose from an auction held by the Sotheby’s house in New York, where Sun was one of seven bidders who bid for the piece, reaching a final price of $6.2 million.
