TRON Founder Justin Sun Sees Growing Role for Bitcoin in Global Finance

Justin Sun, founder of TRON DAO, shared his views on Bitcoin's evolution and its growing role in global capital markets at the recent Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference. He stated that Bitcoin has moved beyond its early years as an experimental technology and now plays a significant role as a global monetary asset and store of value.

Sun emphasized that Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycle could become less pronounced due to institutional flows, derivatives, global liquidity, and macroeconomic conditions. He also highlighted the growing importance of stablecoins, saying that TRON is highly related to daily stablecoin payments, with more than $94 billion in USDT on the network.

Sun described Bitcoin and stablecoins as complementary assets, with Bitcoin serving as a store of value while stablecoins are used for payments and settlement. He pointed to sustained stablecoin activity on TRON as evidence that demand for digital dollars can remain strong regardless of broader crypto market conditions.
