Justin Sun in an exclusive interview with Hurun Report: The New Order and Certainty of Value Flow in a Cycle of Change

In an interview with Hurun Report, Sun Yuchen stated that Web3 is shifting from early exploration to large-scale application, with the core goal of building an open and inclusive value internet.
Stablecoin payments are the most mature large-scale use case. TRON has become one of the largest stablecoin circulation networks, with over 86.3 billion USDT on-chain, serving real needs for cross-border transfers and payments.
Blockchain networks, open and permissionless, reach users underserved by traditional finance, providing a natural replacement for inefficient cross-border payment systems.
The globalization strategy combines data-driven iteration, rapid execution, and user orientation, with a flat organization to maintain agility; the partnership with Tether to launch TRC-20 USDT was a key decision that fueled ecosystem growth.
Global expansion requires local compliance and cultural adaptation. The convergence of AI and blockchain will restructure decision-making capabilities, marking the next major direction.
Sun advises young entrepreneurs to keep learning, adapt quickly, and focus on building irreplaceable core strengths.

Against the backdrop of the Web3 industry entering a more complex phase and the accelerated restructuring of global financial infrastructure, blockchain is transitioning from early exploration to large-scale application. As a highly influential and authoritative institution in the business and investment fields, the in-depth interviews conducted by the renowned magazine *Hurun* are considered important industry indicators. Recently, Justin Sun, founder of TRON, in an interview with *Hurun*, systematically elaborated on his judgments regarding industry evolution and long-term value, focusing on core topics such as stablecoin payments, globalization paths, and the trend of AI integration. His views also reflect the crucial stage of Web3 infrastructure moving from "feasibility verification" to "global adoption."

Stablecoins build a global value circulation network, and Web3 infrastructure enters a stage of large-scale deployment.

In an exclusive interview with Hurun Report, Justin Sun succinctly summarized his core goal: "To enable anyone in the world, regardless of location or whether they have a bank account, to transfer and use their funds at low cost and high efficiency." This statement fundamentally reveals the essential value of blockchain technology—building an open and inclusive internet of value.

He further pointed out that after experiencing multiple bull and bear cycles in the blockchain industry, projects that can truly weather these cycles must be built on real needs and practical applications. The continuous growth in on-chain user scale and transaction volume is a crucial indicator for judging the industry's direction. Against this backdrop, on-chain payment systems centered on stablecoins have become the most mature and scalable application scenario currently available.

In an interview with Hurun Report, Justin Sun mentioned that TRON has rapidly developed into one of the world's largest stablecoin circulation networks, with its on-chain asset transfer volume even surpassing that of some traditional payment networks. This growth is not driven by short-term market sentiment, but rather by the continuous use by real users in scenarios such as cross-border transfers, value storage, and daily payments. Official data shows that the current circulating supply of USDT on the TRON chain exceeds $86.3 billion, a scale that reflects the strong network effect driven by real user demand.

From a structural perspective, the scaling up of stablecoin payments benefits from two factors: firstly, the openness and permissionless nature of blockchain networks enable them to reach user groups that are difficult for traditional financial systems to access; secondly, the limitations of traditional cross-border payment systems in terms of efficiency, cost, and user experience provide significant alternatives for next-generation infrastructure. Justin Sun believes that this trend is essentially a "natural replacement" of the existing financial system by technological progress, rather than short-term competition.

Globalization strategy and technology integration go hand in hand to build long-term competitive advantage in Web3

In an interview with Hurun Report, Justin Sun presented a highly systematic methodology for discussing corporate growth and strategic decision-making. He summarized the key elements of success as a combination of "data-driven iteration, rapid execution, and user orientation," emphasizing that in a rapidly changing technological environment, single-dimensional capabilities are no longer sufficient to support long-term competitiveness; efficient trial and error and accurate decision-making must be achieved through the synergy of these three elements.

At the organizational level, he proposed a management framework of "clear direction, hierarchical support, and a sense of ownership among all employees" to avoid deviation and loss of control during rapid expansion. This organizational structure, which emphasizes flatness and agility, is considered an important foundation for Web3 companies to maintain competitiveness in a highly uncertain environment.

In a specific strategic decision-making interview with Hurun, Justin Sun reviewed the case of TRON's collaboration with Tether to launch TRC-20 USDT. He stated that this decision was based on a comprehensive assessment of market trends, the competitive landscape, and the risk-reward ratio: stablecoins are a long-term trend in the evolution of the financial system, leading assets possess significant network effects, and the upside potential in this field far outweighs the potential risks. As it turns out, this collaboration has become a crucial growth engine for the TRON ecosystem and has built its core competitive advantage in the stablecoin sector.

Regarding globalization, Justin Sun emphasized that while Web3 possesses inherent cross-border attributes, its actual implementation still heavily relies on local compliance and cultural adaptation. In an interview with Hurun Report, he pointed out that different markets have significant differences in regulatory frameworks, user habits, and business environments. The success of a project often depends on the depth of understanding of these differences and the ability to build a local cooperation network.

Furthermore, Justin Sun expressed a clear assessment of the development of AI technology. In the interview, he stated that AI is not simply a tool upgrade, but a reconstruction of "thinking and decision-making capabilities." Its integration with blockchain in terms of data, computing power, and intelligent execution will become an important direction for the next stage of technological evolution. Blockchain provides decentralized infrastructure for AI, while AI enhances the intelligence and user experience of blockchain systems; the fusion of the two has long-term strategic value.

In an interview with Hurun Report, Justin Sun offered core advice to industry participants and young entrepreneurs: in a highly uncertain environment, continuous learning and rapid adaptation are the most crucial capabilities. He also emphasized the importance of focusing investment on building irreplaceable core advantages based on a comprehensive understanding of the industry, rather than spreading resources across multiple sectors.

From early technology verification and market exploration, TRON has gradually moved into a stage of large-scale application represented by stablecoins, and is extending towards AI integration and global compliance. In this process, TRON is continuously promoting the implementation and evolution of the Internet of Value through its infrastructure capabilities, globalization strategy, and forward-looking technological layout.
