Justin Sun hints partnership with a “tens of billion” unknown company

Speculations point to several candidates, incluing Alibaba and Disney

As usual with his style of announcing things for the Tron community, CEO and Founder of Tron Justin Sun has recently tweeted about signing a partnership with a billion USD-valued enterprise, and is letting people to guess its name.

“Finally, First time to partner with tens of billions USD valuation industry giant. Guess the name,” he posted on his Twitter account on October 12.

And as expected, people began to speculate on the possible candidate of this new partnership, with some people pointing at several +10 billion companies. Mentions include Toys’R’us, Baidu, Tencent, Coinbase and even xHamster. And although many believe that Alibaba could be the right one, other users argue that the company founded by Jack Ma – also founder of the Hupan University Justin Sun graduated from – is worth more than 500 billion, so it couldn’t be that one. Also Disney was mentioned several times.

However, the name might be found in one of these two companies: First Data – the owner of cloud-based Point Of Sale (POS) system Clover – and blockchain payment protocol Ripple.

In regards of the first one, a user stated that Poppy – an also POS platform that uses TRX as currency for payments – is going to be adapted to Clover POS, so the partnership is likely to be with the owner of this system, First Data.

On the other hand, there is the possibility that San Francisco-based blockchain project Ripple is the one Sun is talking about. Among those betting on this guess is TokenPay, a cryptocurrency payment platform, and explains that Ripple should be the right choice since Bitcoin (BTC) lacks of a visible leader, and Ethereum (ETH) is ruled out due to the conflicts between the two blockchains.

As people keeps guessing while waiting for Sun to reveal the company in question, the TRX is currently trading at $0.023 per coin – a 3.35% recovery over the course of the last 24 hour.
