The blockchain industry has ushered in a landmark moment - Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON and global advisor of Huobi HTX, appeared on the cover of the English version of Forbes, becoming another Chinese entrepreneur to appear on the cover of the English version of Forbes after Jack Ma, and the fourth person in the field of crypto exchanges after CZ, SBF, and Brian Armstrong. This young entrepreneur, who Forbes called a crypto billionaire who helped the Trump family earn $400 million, showed the world the innovative spirit and global vision of the blockchain leader with his unique personal style and industry influence.
Born in 1990, this entrepreneur has been known for his bold attempts since he entered the blockchain field. In his twenties, I just wanted to try everything possible - why not? Justin Sun's confession aptly summarizes his keen sense of smell and action for technological change. In ten years, Justin Sun has built a crypto ecosystem spanning the underlying public chain, payment network, exchange, and DeFi. The TRON he founded has become one of the fastest growing blockchain networks in the world, with a user base of over 300 million and an average daily transaction volume of over 10 million, ranking among the top three in the industry. This achievement verifies the feasibility of his vision of a global payment system and marks a key leap for blockchain technology from proof of concept to large-scale application.
Earlier, in the list of 40 outstanding blockchain entrepreneurs worth watching released by Forbes Portugal, Sun Yuchen ranked second, becoming the only Chinese entrepreneur in the top three, following Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. This ranking refreshed the highest ranking of Chinese entrepreneurs in the world's top blockchain list. Forbes pointed out that Sun Yuchen has been shortlisted for various lists such as Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia many times, and is an avid fan of art collection, video games, investment, charity and space exploration. At the end of 2024, Sun Yuchen was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Liberland, reshaping the totem of the crypto world with the spirit of freedom and innovation.
The title of the Forbes cover story points directly to Sun Yuchen's most influential collaboration in recent years - the project with the Trump family has generated more than $400 million in revenue for the latter. It is reported that Sun Yuchen has invested a total of $75 million in the Trump family's cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial, becoming the largest investor in the project. This is not only a model of the combination of encryption technology and mainstream business, but also shows Sun Yuchen's forward-looking layout of market trends: by integrating blockchain technology into cultural IP, social communication and asset digitization scenarios, it promotes the encryption economy from niche geeks to the general public.
Sun Yuchen's appearance on the cover of Forbes is not only a highlight of his personal achievements, but also a microcosm of the innovation in the crypto field going mainstream. At a time when technological revolution and industrial transformation are intertwined, the ecosystem represented by TRON and HTX is connecting tradition and the future with an open attitude, writing a new chapter in the digital economy. As Forbes said, this crypto pioneer from the East is reshaping the world's operating rules with code and consensus. When more people begin to understand and embrace the value of blockchain, a more transparent, efficient and inclusive financial and social landscape will surely accelerate.
