At the University of Pennsylvania, Sun became interested in cryptocurrency and invested early in bitcoin.

He studied at Jack Ma's Zhejiang Hupan Entrepreneurship Research Center.

2011

He became the cover figure of Yazhou Zhoukan in 2011 and a Davos Global Shaper in 2014.

2013

In late 2013, Sun joined Ripple Labs as chief representative and adviser.

2014

In 2014, he founded Peiwo, a Chinese voice-based social networking app.

2015

He was named CNTV's most noteworthy new entrepreneur in 2015, and was included in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list from 2015 to 2017.

2017

Sun founded the blockchain-based operating platform TRON and launched the TRX token in 2017.

In September 2017 his company Tron held an initial coin offering (ICO) for the TRX token, a few days before the Chinese government banned ICOs.

According to The Verge, Sun was aware of the impending ban, and pushed for the sale to occur before the ban could be announced.

Shortly afterwards, Sun left China for the United States.

TRON raised about $70 million at its ICO.

2018

In June 2018, Sun acquired the company BitTorrent, Inc (later renamed Rainberry Inc.) for $140 million.

The company is best known for developing the BitTorrent protocol.

During his tenure leading BitTorrent as CEO, the BitTorrent network launched its own utility token, BTT.

Sun later acquired the crypto exchange Poloniex.

The Verge alleged in 2021 that Sun demanded that he should be given personal ownership of misplaced Poloniex customer funds that users accidentally sent to wrong wallet addresses, totaling about 300 bitcoin, despite the objections of Poloniex employees.

In November 2023 Poloniex had $120 million stolen by hackers.

Sun offered to let the hackers keep $6.5 million if they returned the rest of the money within 7 days.

Sometime between 2018 and 2020, Sun acquired a Maltese residency card as a result of investing in the country.

Sun was appointed Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2021.

Sun told Bloomberg he would use his role to advocate cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to countries and promote technology development in Grenada.

Eight celebrities, including Akon, Ne-Yo, Austin Mahone, SoulJa Boy, Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul and Lil Yachty were charged with promoting these cryptocurrencies without disclosing that they were sponsored.

All defendants excluding SoulJa Boy and Austin Mahone settled with payments in excess of $400,000 without admitting liability.
