Justin Sun, CEO of decentralized internet startup TRON, has hinted at a forthcoming partnership with an unknown firm valued at "Tens of billions of dollars."
"Finally, First time to partner with tens of billions USD valuation industry giant. Guess the name."
Twitter followers were quick to join the guessing game: one proposed Alibaba - Sun is a graduate of Alibaba founder Jack Ma's Hupan university, as his Twitter profile states, to which another replied: "Alibaba is worth more than 500 billion. Not tens of billions."
Other suggestions included Baidu, Clover, and - more than one - Disney.
In late September, TRON released further details of its bid to integrate with torrent client BitTorrent, which it had acquired this July for an undisclosed amount.
As of press time, TRON's TRX cryptocurrency is ranked 11th largest cryptocurrency by market cap and is trading at around $0.0227 per token, up 1.65 percent on the day.
