A cryptocurrency entrepreneur who bought a piece of conceptual art consisting of a simple banana, duct-taped to a wall, for $US6.2 million ($9.5 million) last week ate the fruit in Hong Kong on Friday.

Chinese-born Justin Sun peeled off the duct tape and enjoyed the banana in a press conference held in The Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the city’s priciest hotels, in the popular shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui.

“It tastes much better than other bananas. Indeed, quite good,” he said.

The South China Morning Post reported the banana he ate on Friday was bought in Hong Kong.

Sun on Tuesday announced on X he had invested $30 million in World Liberty Financial, which was launched by US President-elect Donald Trump in September as his family’s cryptocurrency venture.

Sun said in the post that his platform, TRON, is “committed to making America great again and leading innovation.”

Following his investment in Trump’s venture, he became an advisor of World Liberty Financial.

Last year, Sun was charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission with fraud and other securities law violations.

In response, he said on X the complaint “lacks merit.”
