According to official sources, at the TOKEN2049 Dubai conference on May 1st, Huobi HTX global advisor and Tron founder Sun Yuchen had a fireside chat with Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, and Zach Witkoff, co-founder of the Trump family project WLFI (World Liberty Financial). Sun Yuchen stated that the high transparency of cryptocurrencies is crucial, as blockchain can record all transactions, replacing the opaque operations of traditional banks. He also announced that Tron will collaborate with WLFI's decentralized stablecoin project USD1, with the goal of extending financial freedom globally. Eric Trump pointed out that traditional finance has many problems such as privilege and low efficiency, while cryptocurrencies are a tool for achieving financial freedom, helping users break free from government or inflationary currency dependence. He emphasized that cryptocurrencies will replace traditional banks. Currently, the Trump administration's positive stance on cryptocurrencies is sending a strong signal that it will lead the crypto revolution.
