On August 25, at the Japan WebX 2025, an influential blockchain event in Asia, TRON founder Justin Sun delivered a keynote speech titled "TRON at the Core of Global Stablecoin Activities." In his speech, he systematically reviewed the development achievements of TRON since 2017, highlighting TRON's position in the global stablecoin settlement network, breakthroughs in compliance governance, the latest developments in the capital market, and shared his personal experience of completing a Blue Origin space flight for the first time. The speech not only showcased TRON's hard power in the blockchain field but also conveyed the profound significance of combining blockchain technology with a broader vision of human exploration.
Stablecoins Drive TRON Towards Global Settlement Layer
At the beginning of his speech, Justin Sun emphasized the vitality and foresight of the Japanese crypto community. He pointed out that the Japanese market has long placed a high value on security and innovation, nurturing one of the most influential crypto ecosystems globally, and that TRON shares the same values—openness, decentralization, and inclusive finance. This alignment of ideals has allowed TRON to grow steadily on a global scale and gradually establish itself as a core settlement layer for global stablecoins.
The data he shared indicated that the total number of accounts on the TRON blockchain has exceeded 327 million, with a total locked value in the ecosystem reaching over $28 billion. In 2024, TRON's annual revenue surpassed $2 billion, and in the first half of 2025, it achieved nearly $1 billion in revenue for two consecutive quarters, setting a new historical high for the network. The activity level on the network is equally impressive, with TRON averaging over 8.7 million transactions per day in the past 30 days, with a daily transfer amount reaching as high as $22.67 billion.
Stablecoins are undoubtedly the core driving force behind this prosperity. Justin Sun revealed that the total issuance of USDT on the TRON chain has surpassed $82 billion, ranking first among all blockchain networks globally. Not only does it lead in total issuance, but it also ranks among the industry leaders in trading volume and daily active users. More than 1 million independent accounts use the TRON network for USDT transactions daily, highlighting its strong advantages in the stablecoin application field.
Additionally, the stablecoin USD 1, associated with the Trump family, recently chose to mint on TRON, further confirming the market's trust and recognition of TRON's infrastructure. Justin Sun also specifically mentioned TRON's commitment to purchasing $100 million worth of TRUMP tokens, reflecting its open attitude towards cross-ecosystem cooperation and promoting the joint development of different communities.
Compliance Construction: T 3+ Global Plan and New Financial Security Landscape
In the second part of his speech, Justin Sun shifted the focus to compliance governance and industry security. He pointed out that as stablecoins are widely used in cross-border settlements and financial circulation, ensuring legal compliance while maintaining openness has become a key issue for industry development.
He recalled that in September 2024, TRON, along with Tether and TRM Labs, jointly initiated the Financial Crime Task Force (T 3 FCU) to combat illegal activities related to USDT on the blockchain. In less than a year, T 3 FCU has frozen over $250 million in illegal assets globally. This achievement highlights TRON's proactive efforts in promoting industry self-regulation and strengthening regulatory cooperation.
Meanwhile, in August 2025, TRON announced the official launch of the "T 3+ Global Collaboration Plan." This plan brings together the most influential institutions in the crypto ecosystem, aiming to jointly address illegal activities on the blockchain through a public-private partnership model. Binance became the first official member of this plan and successfully assisted T 3+ in freezing nearly $6 million in illegal funds sourced from "pig-butchering" scams in actual cases.
Justin Sun emphasized in his speech that Binance's participation not only recognizes TRON's compliance strategy but also represents a substantial step towards higher standards of compliance and real-time collaboration in the crypto industry. This cross-institutional cooperation model will become an important direction for the future governance of digital asset security.
Capital Market Breakthroughs and New Entry Points for Institutional Investment
When discussing mainstream adoption, Justin Sun disclosed that TRON has also achieved new breakthroughs in the capital market. The Nasdaq-listed company TRON Inc. (formerly SRM) launched the TRON native token TRX treasury strategy product, which garnered a trading volume of $1.8 billion on its first day of trading on Nasdaq, demonstrating high market and investor attention.
In fact, as early as 2021, TRX became one of the first crypto asset exchange-traded notes (ETNs) listed in the EU through VanEck. Recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also officially confirmed the TRX staking filing submitted by Canary Capital.
Justin Sun stated that these developments provide a new pathway for more U.S. institutional investors to enter the crypto market. He believes that TRON's strategy will serve as an important bridge for traditional financial capital to enter the crypto world, becoming a "beacon leading the public into the crypto ecosystem."
Beyond Earth: TRON's Symbol of Space Exploration
In the final part of his speech, Justin Sun shared his latest personal milestone. In August 2025, he boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, becoming the 712th astronaut in world history to enter space. This flight was not only Blue Origin's 14th crewed spaceflight but also the 34th mission of the New Shepard program.
During this flight, he carried 1,000 wishes from the global TRON community, symbolizing TRON's first breakthrough beyond the Earth's atmosphere, stepping into the broader universe. Justin Sun expressed that this act is not only symbolic but also a real case of the combination of blockchain and commercial space exploration. He hopes that through such experiences, he can inspire a new generation to think about what kind of future human society will welcome when technology, vision, and ambition transcend the Earth.
At the end of the speech, Justin Sun expressed a positive outlook for the future of the industry. He pointed out that although TRON has achieved many milestone accomplishments in the past few years, the entire industry is still in a phase of rapid evolution, with challenges and opportunities coexisting. He encouraged developers and the community to continue building, driving innovation, and expressed his anticipation to witness more achievements and breakthroughs from the global crypto ecosystem in the second half of 2025.
WebX is one of the largest and most influential blockchain and crypto asset conferences in Asia, hosted by the Japanese crypto media CoinPost. The conference is held annually in Tokyo, bringing together blockchain companies, financial institutions, policymakers, and developers from around the world, becoming an important stage for industry exchange and showcasing the latest achievements.
