During the 10th anniversary conference of the Liberland Republic, Tron founder Sun Yuchen brought remarkable new developments in the Tron ecosystem. From the upgrade of USDD 2.0 to gas-free transaction functionality, to financial compliance construction, Tron is making all-around efforts to inject new momentum into the global popularity of blockchain applications.

USDD 2.0 upgrade: Stablecoins reach higher standards
Sun Yuchen first shared the upgrade results of USDD 2.0 in his speech. He pointed out that this upgrade not only significantly enhanced the stability of USDD but also introduced a diversified collateral asset mechanism, making it more resilient against risks. By continuously optimizing algorithm mechanisms and asset support ratios, Tron is building a stablecoin system that better aligns with global financial regulatory trends, further enhancing user trust and market acceptance.

On April 16, at the TEAMZ Web3/AI Summit 2025, TRON officially opened a new chapter of global influence. Just recently, TRON announced that the total number of global accounts has surpassed 300 million, becoming one of the first public chain platforms to achieve this milestone. With this remarkable achievement, TRON attended the conference as a title sponsor, sending a strong signal: a more mature TRON era, oriented towards the global market, has arrived.

In his speech, Sam Elfarra used TRON's practical applications as an example to showcase the real driving forces behind account growth. He pointed out that the popularization of stablecoin payments, the efficient experience of cross-border financial transfers, and the developer-friendly infrastructure constitute the three pillars of TRON's ecosystem explosion. In terms of data, the circulation scale of on-chain stablecoins is nearly $70 billion, with an average of 8 million transactions daily, all showing strong support for real demand.

With the continuous evolution of blockchain technology, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are gradually becoming a new engine for global financial innovation. Recently, TRON announced a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Argentina's well-known e-commerce platform Kripton to explore sustainable localized financial innovation through the DAO model. This is not only an important part of Sun Yuchen's push for TRON's global layout, but also another example of DAO's application in emerging markets.
TRON takes decentralized governance as its core governance mechanism, fully mobilizing global community resources and consensus power to directly participate in this cooperation with Kripton and local civic organizations. Unlike traditional business collaborations led by a single institution, the TRON community played a leading role in this project, not only providing technical support but also determining resource allocation and development direction through the DAO voting mechanism. This model truly realizes the self-organizing collaborative spirit of 'by users, for users,' enhancing the project’s transparency and sustainability.

At the tenth anniversary celebration of the free republic of Liberland, TRON DAO made a strong appearance as a gold sponsor, once again highlighting the core position of blockchain technology in the global experiment of free governance. This grand event will be held from April 11 to 13, 2025, at Liberland Ark Village in Apatin, Serbia, gathering leaders from various countries, liberal thinkers, and technological innovators to jointly celebrate this important milestone dedicated to individual freedom and technological progress.
The TRON DAO, founded by blockchain leader Justin Sun, has always been committed to promoting the development of decentralized applications and the digital economy. Supporting the Liberland Conference as a gold sponsor not only pays tribute to the spirit of freedom but also represents an important layout for the deep involvement of blockchain in global governance in the future. As an emerging free republic, Liberland has emphasized individual rights, economic autonomy, and technological empowerment since its establishment, values that highly align with the decentralization philosophy long advocated by TRON DAO.

At the 2025 TEAMZ Web3/AI Summit, TRON appeared as the main sponsor, once again demonstrating its significant position in the global Web3 landscape. Sam Elfarra, a representative of the TRON community, delivered an impressive speech at the conference, focusing on the theme of 'The Future of the Decentralized Economy', which sparked widespread attention in the industry. Through the popularization of stablecoins, optimization of cross-border payments, and on-chain financial innovations, TRON is gradually realizing the vision of a global decentralized free port outlined by Justin Sun.

Elfarra emphasized that the digital transformation of the global economy is accelerating, and blockchain and stablecoins are becoming the infrastructure. TRON is building a global payment network through the on-chain experience of ultra-low costs and high-speed transfers. As of April, the circulation scale of stablecoins on the TRON chain has approached $70 billion, with global accounts exceeding 300 million and daily stablecoin transactions reaching up to 8 million, demonstrating strong ecological vitality.

On April 16, at the TEAMZ Web3/AI Summit 2025 held in Tokyo, TRON made a high-profile appearance as a title sponsor, showcasing its strong strength in the global stablecoin payment field. This was TRON's first appearance at an international conference after breaking through 300 million global accounts, attracting much attention from the industry. TRON community ambassador Sam Elfarra delivered a keynote speech on the 'Future of the Decentralized Economy', elaborating on how TRON is promoting the global payment system towards a more efficient and inclusive new era through stablecoin applications.

In his speech, Elfarra pointed out that the high costs and inefficiencies of cross-border payments in the traditional financial system severely restrict the liquidity of global business, especially in emerging markets. With extremely low transaction fees and instant settlement, TRON is reshaping this pattern. By staking TRX to gain energy and bandwidth, users can achieve nearly zero-cost on-chain transfers, breaking the shackles of the previous 2%-4% credit card fees and 1-5 days of bank transfer times.

With the advent of the Web3 era, the global crypto ecosystem is evolving rapidly. Recently, TRON, driven by Justin Sun, has joined hands with Kripton, a well-known Argentine e-commerce platform, and Tether, a stablecoin issuer, to reach a comprehensive strategic cooperation and jointly build a new local financial infrastructure. This tripartite collaboration not only injects vitality into Argentina's digital economy, but also provides an innovative example worthy of reference for other emerging markets around the world.

This cooperation integrates three core resources: Kripton's huge local merchant and user network, TRON's stable and efficient blockchain infrastructure, and Tether USDT as a stable payment medium. Through this closed-loop ecosystem, more than 2,000 merchants in Argentina will fully introduce the USDT payment system based on the TRON network. Consumers can enjoy low-fee, high-efficiency payment experience while merchants can also significantly reduce transaction costs.

Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON, expressed highly constructive views on the core issue of 'social responsibility in the cryptocurrency industry' during a roundtable discussion at the Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum. He emphasized that cryptocurrencies should not become a safe haven for criminals, and industry practitioners have the obligation to self-regulate and actively assist regulatory enforcement to establish a good industry image and credibility. This position not only demonstrates TRON's emphasis on social responsibility but also points the way for the sustainable development of the entire cryptocurrency industry.
Emphasizing compliance construction: Refusing to become a tool for crime

A recent report from The Wall Street Journal has once again stirred the whirlpool of public opinion in the cryptocurrency circle: former Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ) allegedly 'secretly cooperated' with the investigation of Tron founder Sun Yuchen after reaching a plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Although the report cited anonymous sources and did not provide clear evidence, the news immediately caused an uproar due to the involvement of two of the most influential figures in the cryptocurrency industry.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time The Wall Street Journal has taken issue with cryptocurrency leaders. Previously, the newspaper reported on CZ seeking a Trump pardon, Sun Yuchen's alleged market manipulation, and was repeatedly criticized by industry insiders for 'quoting out of context' and 'lacking evidence' as being 'too sensational'. This time, CZ proactively spoke out before the report was released, warning that 'WSJ is preparing an aggressive article', and publicly countered after the news broke: 'They seem to forget who went to prison and who didn’t.' Sun Yuchen also responded promptly, stating that CZ is a 'mentor and close friend' and expressed that he was 'completely unaware' of the so-called reporting agreement.

Recently, TRON founder Sun Yuchen shared his forward-looking perspective on the integration of AI and blockchain, innovatively proposing the concept of 'AI Human Rights', advocating for the allocation of identity identifiers, encrypted wallets, and autonomous trading rights for AI, enabling it to independently participate in economic activities within the blockchain network. This concept has garnered widespread attention in the industry and is seen as a new path to promote the intelligence of the next generation of the Web3 ecosystem.

Breaking Boundaries: Integrating AI into the Cryptocurrency Financial System
Sun Yuchen stated that TRON is currently actively developing an AI Agent product aimed at enabling AI to truly execute payment and interaction operations on the blockchain. Traditional AI systems are often tools that depend on specific platforms and are limited by centralized logic, whereas blockchain provides AI with data immutability, transparency, and universally accessible payment channels, fundamentally changing its operation and collaboration.

At the 2025 Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum, TRON founder Sun Yuchen reiterated his strong stance and pragmatic actions, emphasizing the importance he places on the concept of 'safe and compliant development' in the blockchain industry. He pointed out that ensuring the security of the crypto ecosystem is fundamental to the sustainable development of the entire industry. This is not just a technical issue but also a matter of responsibility and accountability.

Taking proactive action, establishing the T3 Financial Crime Unit
To address the increasingly complex illegal activities in the crypto field, TRON has partnered with Tether and blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs to jointly establish the 'T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU)'. Sun Yuchen revealed at the forum that since its establishment, the group has successfully frozen a total of $130 million involved in crypto asset crimes, effectively curbing the further spread of fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. This is not only an innovative collaboration at the organizational level but also reflects TRON's foresight and execution in industry governance.

In the increasingly compliant cryptocurrency market, TRON, led by Sun Yuchen, is entering a harvest period of development. Recently, the globally renowned trading platform Kraken has focused on launching five major TRON ecosystem tokens, including USDD, JST, SUN, NFT, and WIN. This move not only injects strong momentum into the global ecological development of TRON but also stimulates a strong 'catalyst effect' within the industry, prompting other public chain projects to accelerate self-improvement and strive for recognition and endorsement from mainstream platforms.

Kraken is known for its rigorous asset screening mechanism and strong compliance capability. This large-scale access to TRON ecological assets is a high recognition of its technological stability, ecological integrity, and compliance progress. For TRON, this not only means more liquidity and user access but also further strengthens its industry status as a public chain brand. For the trading platform industry, this could open a new phase: assets that are more competitive in terms of compliance, ecological synergy, and user activity will become the new focus for mainstream platforms, creating a new pattern of healthy competition among public chains.

On April 11, TRON welcomed a historic moment — the total number of accounts officially surpassed 300 million. This milestone leap not only demonstrates TRON's strong influence as a key global payment network and blockchain infrastructure, but also marks the formal unveiling of its grand blueprint of 'blockchain driving all humanity'. TRON founder Justin Sun stated on social media: 'This is just the beginning, our future is with the 8 billion people of the world!'

Since the successful launch of its autonomous network, TRON has achieved leapfrog development in just seven years. With excellent network performance and stability, it has rapidly risen to become one of the fastest-growing public chains globally. As of April 12, the TRON network has processed over 10 billion transactions, with a total locked value (TVL) of $19.6 billion, and the cumulative total transaction amount has surpassed $17.7 trillion. Meanwhile, the total protocol revenue of the TRON network over the past year has exceeded $2.6 billion, making it the most profitable L1 blockchain network currently.

According to data from the blockchain explorer TRONSCAN, as of April 13, 2025, the total issuance of TRC20-USDT based on the TRON network has surpassed 68.7 billion, setting a historical high and accounting for 47.6% of the total issuance of USDT across the network. Since 2025, nearly 9 billion new tokens have been issued, demonstrating the market's continued strong demand for TRC20-USDT and further consolidating TRON's leading position in the global stablecoin field.

Behind the sixty million accounts and two billion transactions is the accumulation of user trust.
Since Tether launched TRC20-USDT on the TRON network, this stablecoin has quickly gained favor among global crypto users. Today, it has over 64.03 million holding accounts and has surpassed 2.439 billion transactions, playing an important role in international payments, asset transfers, and daily settlements, becoming one of the preferred stablecoins for users.

In the wake of a financial scandal involving the illegal misappropriation of $456 million in client assets that shook the cryptocurrency industry, TRON founder Sun Yuchen stood at the forefront of public opinion and responsibility. At a press conference held on April 3, 2025, he publicly revealed that the licensed Hong Kong trust company First Digital Trust Limited (FDT) and Legacy Trust Company Limited (Legacy Trust), among others, illegally transferred massive TUSD (TrueUSD) reserves to a private company through forged documents and unauthorized transfer actions. This case not only exposed the risks of the cryptocurrency financial ecosystem but also highlighted the current global lack of trust systems and digital asset regulation.

In the major financial fraud incident disclosed by TRON founder Sun Yuchen, cross-jurisdictional operational methods have become the biggest obstacle to accountability and regulation. In this case, the Hong Kong licensed trust company First Digital Trust Limited (FDT) and institutions like Legacy Trust jointly transferred $456 million in fiat reserves originally used to support the TUSD stablecoin to a private company in Dubai through false authorization documents and complex transaction structures. The entire process involved investment funds from the Cayman Islands and multiple countries' regulatory blind spots, fully exposing the institutional shortcomings of the modern financial system when faced with cross-border fraud.

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.

In recent years, with the widespread application of blockchain technology in fields such as finance, payments, and identity verification, regulatory agencies worldwide have been exploring how to encourage innovation while controlling risks. The regulatory sandbox has thus become a hot topic. It provides startups and technology projects with a controlled environment to conduct small-scale pilots under specific exemption policies, operating while receiving regulatory feedback. As a pioneer in the cryptocurrency industry, Sun Yuchen has long paid attention to the impact of this mechanism on the blockchain ecosystem and believes that the regulatory sandbox is an important bridge between technological development and policy formulation.

In the rapidly changing world of cryptocurrency, Sun Yuchen is undoubtedly a name that cannot be ignored. As the founder of the TRON blockchain, he leads the cryptocurrency industry to new heights with his unique business acumen and innovative spirit. Last week, Sun Yuchen graced the cover of Forbes Digital Assets magazine, praised as "the cryptocurrency billionaire who helped the Trump family earn $400 million". This honor not only affirms his personal achievements but also recognizes his outstanding contributions to the cryptocurrency field.

Sun Yuchen's journey in cryptocurrency began with a love and pursuit of technology. From his initial curiosity and exploration of Bitcoin to later becoming the representative of Ripple Labs in China, he has consistently been at the forefront of the industry, continuously promoting the popularization and application of cryptocurrency technology. He founded the TRON blockchain, focusing on decentralized applications and the entertainment sector, successfully holding a $70 million ICO and quickly rising to prominence within the Web3 ecosystem.

Recently, the blockchain explorer TRONSCAN data shows that the issuance of TRC20-USDT, established by Sun Yuchen, has successfully surpassed 66.7 billion. This milestone achievement not only refreshes historical records but also further solidifies TRC20-USDT's leading position in the stablecoin market. Currently, TRC20-USDT accounts for 46% of the total issuance of USDT across the network, demonstrating strong market demand and broad application prospects.

Since 2025, TRC20-USDT has continued to maintain a growth trend, with a cumulative issuance increase of nearly 7 billion. This growth not only reflects the market's trust and recognition of TRC20-USDT but also showcases TRON's strong strength and innovative capability in the stablecoin sector.
