TRON Founder Justin Sun Sees Bitcoin as Global Monetary Asset
Justin Sun, founder of TRON DAO, spoke about Bitcoin's evolution and its role in global finance at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong. During two fireside discussions, Sun emphasized that Bitcoin has moved beyond its experimental years and is now a established global monetary asset and store of value.
Sun also highlighted the growing influence of institutional flows, derivatives, global liquidity, and macroeconomic conditions on the market. He stated that 'TRON is highly related to daily stablecoin payments,' with more than $94 billion in USDT stored on TRON, driven by real-world usage.
Sun noted that Bitcoin and stablecoins are complementary, with Bitcoin serving as a store of value while stablecoins are used for payments and settlement. He pointed out sustained stablecoin activity on TRON as evidence that demand for digital dollars can remain strong regardless of broader crypto market conditions.
