"How can he only be thirty-five? Good things come to those who wait, and goals are always scored in the second half. It's your turn to take the stage now."
In this world, some people are always equated with "high profile," but you have to admit, they are ahead of the game.
On July 30, Sun Yuchen celebrated his 35th birthday.
From that young man in a suit, shouting "Let blockchain change the world" in front of the television camera, to today, the captain of a vast crypto empire holding TRON, Huobi HTX, and more, Sun Yuchen remains one of the most talked-about and symbolic figures in the industry.
On his 35th birthday, Sun Yuchen fondly reflected on the hardships of recent years on X. He wrote, "Ten thousand years is too long; now we are fighting for a thousand days. The world is eager to hear stories of youthful achievements. Not everyone is Yamal; fortunately, I started early, endured hardships, and after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, as I reach middle age and take on great responsibilities, people can't help but sigh, how can Pulisic only be twenty-seven? There’s another World Cup next year."
"How can he only be thirty-five? Good things come to those who wait, and goals are always scored in the second half. It's your turn to take the stage now."
And just during this birthday period, his "triple launch" is unfolding:
- TRON. Inc goes public, reconstructing a new round of value capture logic;
- Huobi HTX's "Mars Project" sets sail, laying out future space technology narratives;
- HTX DAO governance fully advances, bringing the "People's Exchange" into reality.
What seems coincidental is actually a hidden thread, with deep connections; every move conceals a grand vision.
"From '94' to 'Nasdaq': A Comeback from Crypto to Wall Street"
Many people do not know that the starting point of TRON was actually at a very difficult juncture.
In September 2017, China's "94 Ban" hit hard, and ICOs were completely halted. At that time, Sun Yuchen, who had just launched the TRON project, faced a dual blow from the crypto winter and public opinion whirlpool.
While many projects vanished, he chose to "pack his bags and walk out."
Eight years later, in July 2025, TRON not only became the underlying chain for mainstream stablecoin channels, but its native token TRX also entered the financial reporting system of Nasdaq-listed companies as a core strategic reserve asset, achieving a significant breakthrough in traditional financial markets.
This historic moment was like a long-overdue vindication.
Standing at the bell-ringing platform, Sun Yuchen did not shout slogans or hype concepts. He said, "This is not only a big step for TRON. Inc, but also an important moment for the entire blockchain industry."
His words were light, yet they sounded the opening gong of an era.
"Four-Year Space Pact: Sending the Crypto Narrative into Space"
Just as the news of TRON. Inc going public was trending, Sun Yuchen's "Huobi HTX Mars Project" was also being prepared in full swing.
Recently, Blue Origin quietly announced the passenger list for its latest space flight mission, NS-34. A familiar name was prominently listed—Sun Yuchen.
He is really going to space.
This upcoming space journey was foreshadowed four years ago. That year, Sun Yuchen spent $28 million to buy one of the seats in a Blue Origin spacecraft, waiting for this "meaningful opportunity." He defined this space trip as a long-term investment in the future—not only a trust in technology but also a belief in the human spirit of exploration.
In Sun Yuchen's vision, Crypto and space exploration intersect in the same movement of human civilization upgrading. The core commonality between the two lies in: decentralization, breaking boundaries, and reconstructing order.
Under this logic, three clear directions for integration are gradually emerging:
1. Space resources and blockchain assets share many similar characteristics. Whether it's lunar land, Martian minerals, or geostationary orbital positions, on-chain rights confirmation and tokenization are the core means to commercialization.
2. The Web3 community may become the original shareholders and collaborative units of space exploration. Unlike the old model led by national governments, future space projects may be initiated by DAOs, crowdfunded by global communities, and jointly governed on-chain.
3. Blockchain *space data, creating a trustworthy cosmic information carrier: Blockchain can serve as a reliable record carrier for data from space stations, satellite networks, etc., preventing tampering.
Sun Yuchen is not just flying to space; he is also pushing the Web3 narrative toward new gravitational boundaries.
"Voting for Coin Recommendations Officially Launched, Bringing the People's Exchange into Reality"
If "TRON. Inc landing on Nasdaq" is the coming-of-age gift Sun Yuchen earned for the blockchain circle, then the implementation of the "Voting for Coin Recommendations" mechanism is his true response to the vision of the "People's Exchange."
HTX DAO was established a year and a half ago, evolving from the initial DAO structure prototype to a community governance mechanism, continuously refining the token destruction logic, and now fully opening "Voting for Coin Recommendations" to global users. This is not only an innovation in mechanism but also a restoration of discourse power, allowing Huobi HTX to advance further in the exploration of "decentralized governance of exchanges."
From now on, listing coins is no longer a one-way choice of the platform but a collective will of the community. It also means that Huobi HTX and HTX DAO are no longer "rule makers," but "rule maintainers"; no longer "resource monopolizers," but builders of "public infrastructure."
The "People's Exchange" that Sun Yuchen has always insisted on is an open platform co-governed by users and driven by community consensus. In the future, it is possible that the "coin recommendation rights" will form a stronger binding relationship with "governance rights" and "profit rights," becoming a core pivot for building user identity, platform consensus, and ecological profit distribution. Huobi HTX and HTX DAO will continue to deepen token governance based on this foundation, truly transforming the "People's Exchange" from an idea into consensus, and then into reality.
"Thirty-five is a node, but also a starting point"
"The crypto circle does not need a savior" has been said for many years. But only after weathering storms and traversing bull and bear markets do we truly understand:
This industry needs someone who is always at the forefront—unafraid of misunderstanding, unafraid of ridicule, always running between faith and order.
Yes, he is indeed high profile, and he is indeed controversial.
But if you delve into the story of TRON from 0 to 1, to the bell-ringing ceremony at Nasdaq; the various growths of Huobi HTX over the past two years, and the path of HTX DAO from chaos to co-governance, you will understand:
Every determined step taken is part of the journey.
A road with no turning back, a road paved with passion, skepticism, glory, and solitude. And today, Sun Yuchen stands at the threshold of thirty-five, grounded in reality, yet still daring to gaze at the stars.
Some love Sun Yuchen because he represents extreme efficiency;
Some dislike him because he is always at the center of the stage;
But regardless, he cannot be ignored.
We can still look forward to how many more "surprises" he will bring to the crypto circle in the next decade.
