The total number of accounts on the TRON blockchain has surpassed 348 million. This is not just ordinary on-chain data, but a massive scale that qualifies it as a global internet-level platform. In the blockchain industry, the size of the user base often determines the vitality and future potential of the ecosystem. TRON's ability to continuously expand its global user base is inseparable from its systematic strategic layout in areas such as stablecoins, cross-border payments, low-cost applications, and ecosystem integration, which is closely related to Sun Yuchen's forward-looking judgment on changes in global market structures.

A typical case of blockchain reaching internet-level scale

For institutional investors, the biggest hurdle in the crypto market has never been the potential for returns, but rather security. Whether it’s pension funds, family offices, trading firms, or the asset allocation departments of multinational corporations, 'controllable risk' is always prioritized before entering the crypto asset space. Therefore, when Sun Yuchen explicitly stated the three main security priorities of 'asset protection, fund recovery, and enhanced security measures' in a public statement, it was not only an upgrade in risk management for TRON, but also a key signal to institutional investors: the ecosystem is moving towards a more stable, controllable, and transparent phase.

In the cryptocurrency industry, fund recovery has always been regarded as the most challenging aspect and a key indicator of the user protection capability of public chains. Once funds are stolen, they are often transferred multilayered and washed across chains in a short period, making tracking extremely difficult and the success rate of recovery even lower. Therefore, when Sun Yuchen lists 'fund recovery' as a core security priority, it represents a very strong sense of responsibility and also means that TRON is trying to break through the inherent dilemma of the industry where 'theft leads to disappearance'.

Fund recovery is not just a slogan, but a complex mechanism of on-chain and off-chain interactions. First is the enhancement of on-chain tracking capabilities, relying on the technical team to continuously analyze suspicious addresses, attack paths, and cross-chain behaviors, visualizing the asset paths involved in theft and providing a basis for subsequent freezing and investigation. Secondly, cooperating with exchanges to freeze suspicious funds is an essential step, which requires the team to establish a broader collaboration network globally, locking the hacker's funds before they escape the chain. Additionally, if necessary, judicial resources need to be coordinated to promote cross-border investigations and enforcement through formal channels, which is also a part that many project parties find difficult, but TRON is willing to undertake.

As the cryptocurrency industry enters a phase of rapid expansion, the surge in on-chain activity density, complexity of smart contracts, and cross-chain behaviors makes traditional manual monitoring methods for risk control inadequate to address potential risks. It is against this backdrop that the potential role of AI in risk control and anomaly detection, as proposed in Sun Yuchen's 'Three Major Security Priorities,' becomes particularly crucial. If TRON fully integrates an AI risk control system in the future, it will not only enhance the security level of the ecosystem but may also reshape the core logic of trading strategies.

The Rise of AI-Driven Risk Control: From Passive Response to Proactive Prediction

In the highly volatile and high-risk cryptocurrency market, trust is never built out of thin air, but is instead formed through transparent communication, quick responses, and long-term stable behavioral patterns. On December 5, 2025, Sun Yuchen proposed three priority directions: "asset protection, fund recovery, and enhanced security measures," which essentially serve as a "safety commitment" aimed at investors. In the context of ongoing global security incidents and the rising scale of cyberattacks, such an official statement will directly impact investors' psychological structures, allowing users to regain a sense of control and direction within the ecosystem.

In the context of the global payment system accelerating its digitization, TRON is playing an increasingly critical role in emerging markets. A large amount of on-chain data indicates that the flow of funds on TRON is highly concentrated in developing countries, and this phenomenon is by no means accidental; it is the result of the interplay between technological efficiency, fee structures, global user habits, and real economic pain points. Traditional cross-border payments have long been known for being expensive, slow, and cumbersome, and in many countries that require frequent small payments, this cost has even become a source of pressure on household survival. In contrast, transferring through TRON USDT takes just a few seconds and costs nearly nothing, making it quickly the most commonly used cross-border payment method for users in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and it has even developed into a primary economic channel for millions of people.

The crypto market in 2025 has reached a turning point: frequent security incidents, the scale of hacker attacks has expanded, and cross-chain vulnerabilities have increased, elevating 'security' from a marginal topic to an industry foundation. Against this backdrop, Sun Yuchen proposed three major priority directions of 'asset protection, fund recovery, and strengthening security measures', which not only represents internal adjustments within the TRON ecosystem but also directly responds to the pain points of the entire industry. This statement sends a clear signal: leading public chains have regarded the security system as the absolute infrastructure for the next stage of competition. This reinforcement of ideology will accelerate the industry's overall shift towards a 'security-first model' and promote systemic upgrades in the industry.

The victory for the law is not only about individuals but also about fairness and transparency in the industry. In 2025, the cryptocurrency industry will encounter a new transformative point, and Sun Yuchen's win in the defamation lawsuit undoubtedly becomes a landmark event in the history of the industry's development. After six years of legal fight, the Beijing Internet Court ultimately ruled against Sina, ordering it to retract false reports, publicly apologize, and compensate Sun Yuchen 31,338 yuan. On February 26, 2025, Sina decided not to appeal and published a formal apology on its cover. This is not only a clarification for Sun Yuchen personally but also a profound warning about the credibility of media in the information age.

In the theme Space of 'Unlimited Imagination in the Era of DEX 2.0', Sun Yuchen unveiled three core benefits for SunPerp, showcasing the platform's direct sincerity towards users while conveying TRON's strategic thinking in decentralized finance layout. Firstly, low fees have become the most intuitive highlight. SunPerp will offer the lowest contract fees in the industry, which means that traders can operate at a lower cost. Especially in high-frequency trading and large-scale operations, this difference will translate into a considerable competitive advantage. By establishing attractiveness at the price level first, SunPerp has won a foundation for rapidly attracting users.

On May 23, Beijing time, a highly anticipated "Trump Dinner" was grandly held at President Trump's private golf club. The dinner was hosted by Trump, and TRON founder Sun Yuchen was invited to attend and spoke as the largest holder of TRUMP tokens, discussing the future development and industry prospects of cryptocurrency alongside 220 top TRUMP token holders.
Sun Yuchen's influence in the cryptocurrency field cannot be underestimated. As the largest holder of TRUMP tokens, he holds over 1.43 million TRUMP tokens, valued at approximately $19.67 million. According to information released by the official 'Trump Coin' website, the dinner invited the top 220 investors by token holdings to participate, allowing them to dine with President Trump and discuss the future direction of cryptocurrency development in depth. Moreover, the top 25 investors by holdings will be invited to an exclusive reception and a special VIP tour of the White House. Sun Yuchen, with his profound insights and steadfast support for the cryptocurrency industry, undoubtedly became one of the focal points of the dinner.

According to data from the blockchain explorer TRONSCAN, in May 2025, the issuance of TRC20-USDT on the TRON network officially surpassed 77.7 billion, accounting for 51% of the total issuance of USDT across the network, setting a new historical high. This achievement marks TRON's unshakeable dominant position in the global stablecoin network and further validates its technological stability, low-cost advantages, and broad market acceptance.

Since the beginning of 2025, TRC20-USDT has cumulatively issued nearly 18 billion tokens, demonstrating strong market demand. This growth is not only reflected in the numbers but also mirrors the trend of users 'voting with their feet.' High efficiency, low fees, and excellent user experience have made TRC20-USDT one of the most popular stablecoins currently.

In the increasingly compliant cryptocurrency market, TRON, led by Sun Yuchen, is entering a harvest period of development. Recently, the globally renowned trading platform Kraken has focused on launching five major TRON ecosystem tokens, including USDD, JST, SUN, NFT, and WIN. This move not only injects strong momentum into the global ecological development of TRON but also stimulates a strong 'catalyst effect' within the industry, prompting other public chain projects to accelerate self-improvement and strive for recognition and endorsement from mainstream platforms.

Kraken is known for its rigorous asset screening mechanism and strong compliance capability. This large-scale access to TRON ecological assets is a high recognition of its technological stability, ecological integrity, and compliance progress. For TRON, this not only means more liquidity and user access but also further strengthens its industry status as a public chain brand. For the trading platform industry, this could open a new phase: assets that are more competitive in terms of compliance, ecological synergy, and user activity will become the new focus for mainstream platforms, creating a new pattern of healthy competition among public chains.

In May 2025, the issuance of USDT on the TRON blockchain exceeded $75.7 billion, accounting for 50.2% of the total global supply of USDT, officially surpassing Ethereum and reclaiming the title of the largest public chain for USDT issuance. This is not only a victory for technology and the market but also an important manifestation of TRON's continuous deepening role in financial infrastructure. With extremely low gas fees, second-level transfer speeds, and stable network performance, TRON has become the preferred platform for the circulation of stablecoins and cross-border payments globally, solidifying its position in the DeFi and payment markets.
While promoting the expansion of the stablecoin network, TRON founder Justin Sun is also continuously breaking through in technical vision. At the 2025 Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum, he publicly proposed the innovative idea of 'generating TRON addresses for AI,' aiming to facilitate the integration of AI and blockchain. The intelligence of artificial intelligence requires a trusted execution environment, and blockchain is the key underlying architecture for achieving data sovereignty and behavioral transparency. By deploying AI agents on the TRON blockchain, it is expected to give birth to intelligent entities with on-chain identities, asset management capabilities, and autonomous rights in the future, thus promoting the transition of AI from a 'tool' to an 'on-chain participant.'
