Recently, TRON founder Sun Yuchen delivered an online keynote speech at the WebX 2026 conference in Japan, elaborating on the trend of the integration of cryptographic technology and artificial intelligence, systematically explaining the infrastructure value of blockchain in the era of AI intelligent entities. He stated that as AI intelligent entities accelerate toward autonomous decision-making and trading, digital identity, on-chain payments, asset management, and credible settlement will become core demands. TRON is relying on stablecoin networks and eco-infrastructures like B.AI to promote the more efficient integration of AI intelligent entities into the global financial system.

From Intelligent Decision-Making to Autonomous Trading, Blockchain Completes Key Capabilities of AI Intelligent Entities

Sun Yuchen pointed out that in the past few years, blockchain and artificial intelligence have developed along two relatively independent paths: the former builds an open network for value flow, asset ownership, and settlement, while the latter continuously enhances information processing, decision-making, and complex task automation capabilities. Now, as AI intelligent entities begin to possess capabilities for search, reasoning, negotiation, and task coordination, the two are gradually converging.

To truly engage in real economic activities, AI intelligent entities need more than just "intelligence"; they also require verifiable digital identities, independent financial management capabilities, open payment channels, and reliable mechanisms to interact with data, computing power, and financial services. The characteristics of blockchain, such as programmable settlement, transparent records, and permissionless access, can support intelligent entities in holding and transferring digital assets, executing on-chain transactions, and participating in the digital economy in a verifiable manner.

In light of this trend, the TRON ecosystem is advancing the infrastructure development of B.AI and the Bank of AI. B.AI is leveraging the TRON blockchain to create identity, financial management, and autonomous trading capabilities for AI intelligent entities, aiming to connect these entities with financial systems, digital services, and computing resources; the Bank of AI focuses on financial infrastructure to support on-chain payments, identity verification, and DeFi interactions for AI intelligent entities on the TRON and BNB Chain.

Sun Yuchen stated that these explorations demonstrate the potential of open blockchain networks in supporting new types of intelligent economic activities. As the demand for identity, payment, and reliable transaction channels from AI intelligent entities continues to grow, TRON is expected to further leverage its infrastructure advantages in stablecoin circulation and on-chain settlement.

Scale, Security, and Collaboration Progressing Together, TRON Strengthens Global On-Chain Settlement Network

The speech revealed that the total number of on-chain accounts on TRON has exceeded 390 million, with a total locked value of over 26 billion USD; the network processes nearly 13 million transactions daily, with a daily transfer volume exceeding 24 billion USD. By 2025, TRON's protocol revenue is expected to exceed 3.4 billion USD.

Stablecoins are a crucial driving force supporting the activities of the TRON network. Currently, TRON has become the leading blockchain network in terms of cumulative trading volume and daily active users for USDT, with an on-chain USDT circulation of about 90 billion USD. The demand for high-frequency, low-cost, and globally covered stablecoin transfers lays the foundation for TRON to further serve digital payments, cross-border settlements, and the AI intelligent economy.

While expanding its infrastructure scale, TRON also continues to enhance on-chain security and compliance collaboration. In September 2024, TRON, together with Tether and TRM Labs, established the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU). Since its establishment, T3 FCU has analyzed millions of transactions globally, monitored fund scales exceeding 3 billion USD, and assisted in freezing illegal assets valued at approximately 450 million USD across five continents.

Sun Yuchen stated that the unified financial system of the future will integrate the mature capabilities of traditional finance with the openness and efficiency of blockchain networks, providing support for global payments, digital commerce, decentralized finance, and AI-driven new economic activities. This process cannot be completed by a single enterprise or network independently; it requires long-term cooperation among blockchain, artificial intelligence, financial institutions, and regulatory stakeholders to jointly build a more open, efficient, and trustworthy global financial infrastructure.
