Recently, the globally renowned financial magazine Forbes released its latest issue of global cover figures, with TRON founder Sun Yuchen honored as the 'Billionaire Navigator of the Crypto Field', becoming another Chinese entrepreneur to grace the cover after Jack Ma and Zhao Changpeng. This historic moment not only adds a vibrant chapter to Sun Yuchen's personal entrepreneurial legend but also injects new vitality into the rise of Chinese individuals in the global crypto industry.
Studying by the lake, entrepreneurial dreams take root
Sun Yuchen, born in Xining, Qinghai, demonstrated extraordinary talent and vision from an early age. He graduated from the History Department of Peking University and later went to the United States for further studies, obtaining a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. As a first cohort student of Lakeside University, Sun Yuchen was deeply inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of mentors like Jack Ma, gradually nurturing his entrepreneurial dreams. In the classrooms of Lakeside University, he not only learned business knowledge but also understood the true essence of entrepreneurship—changing the world, not just doing business.
Founded TRON, creating a public chain legend
Sun Yuchen resolutely embarked on the entrepreneurial path and founded TRON. He is determined to build a decentralized global payment ecosystem through blockchain technology, allowing everyone to enjoy the convenience and freedom brought by blockchain technology. After years of tireless efforts, TRON has grown to become one of the world's leading public chains, serving nearly 300 million users, with an average daily transfer amount reaching $20 billion, and the circulation of TRC20-USDT exceeding $64 billion, becoming a pillar in the stablecoin field.
Topping the Forbes cover, showcasing Chinese influence
This appearance on the Forbes global cover is both an affirmation of Sun Yuchen's personal achievements and a symbol of the influence of Chinese entrepreneurs in the global technology and finance sectors. As a post-90s entrepreneur, he takes over from Jack Ma and Zhao Changpeng, showcasing the responsibility and innovation of the new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs in the wave of globalization. In an interview, Sun Yuchen stated: 'Having come from Lakeside University, I always remember President Jack Ma's teachings. Entrepreneurship is not just about doing business; it's about changing the world. Every step of TRON is establishing rules for Web3, and our goal is to make decentralized technology benefit more users worldwide.'
Technology-driven, ecological construction leads the future
Unlike the previous three Forbes cover figures from exchange backgrounds, Sun Yuchen's achievements are more rooted in technology-driven and ecological construction. He has not only propelled TRON to become one of the largest blockchain networks by trading volume globally but has also further empowered the global crypto trading ecosystem through in-depth cooperation with platforms like Huobi HTX. This comprehensive layout from infrastructure to application scenarios allows Sun Yuchen to stand out in the crypto industry. His success story not only sets a new benchmark for Chinese entrepreneurs but also points the direction for the future development of blockchain technology.
Lakeside's tenth anniversary, a hopeful future for crypto
Since its establishment, Lakeside University has nurtured a group of China's top entrepreneurs. Ten years later, Sun Yuchen presents a special gift to Lakeside University with the honor of gracing the Forbes global cover. He expressed on social media: 'In these ten years at Lakeside, I have not let anyone down. In the next ten years, TRON will continue to forge ahead, promoting blockchain technology to reshape the global financial landscape.'
Industry insiders point out that Sun Yuchen's appearance on the cover of Forbes not only marks the increasing influence of Chinese individuals in the crypto industry but also signifies the transformation of blockchain technology from transaction-driven to technology-driven. The success story of TRON may become a benchmark for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
From the classrooms of Lakeside University to the Forbes global cover, Sun Yuchen has written a legendary story belonging to Chinese entrepreneurs over the past decade. As the fifth cover figure in the crypto industry, he has not only continued the brilliance of Chinese entrepreneurs on the global stage but has also paved the way for the arrival of the Web3 era with technological innovation as the engine. In the future, where will this post-90s entrepreneurial pioneer lead TRON? We will wait and see. But one thing is certain: Sun Yuchen and TRON are actively shaping the future of blockchain, leading the crypto industry towards a more brilliant tomorrow.
