TRON's founder Justin Sun has been very active on Twitter, tweet very often to update his fans on the new partnership, new exchange listing and relation with Alibaba's founder. Recently, TRON price spiked many have suggested the real reason behind its surge could be due to a rumour that Alibaba could partner with TRON soon.
Jack ma, himself has mentioned on several interview and Q&A Session, that he is not skeptical about cryptocurrency, he also admit that his knowledge is very limited but he expressed great interest in blockchain technology.The most relevant piece of info about this comes from none other than Jack Ma. Mr. Ma is not only Alibaba’s co-founder and CEO, but he’s also always avid to go into new businesses, and he prefers to do that by supporting projects started by his former students and collaborators. This is not speculative; there are plenty of precedents.
Despite all of the fact, I would highly suggest Alibaba most likely have the possibility to partner with TRON and definitely change the game for TRON(TRX). Yet, no official announcements have been made, but one can sense it by paying attention to both company's interest and contacts points at both being part in the picture Justin Sun’s (the man behind TRON) link with Alibaba keeps getting stronger as each day passes, which suggests a deal is on the horizon.
