Justin Sun: HTX Positioned to Reclaim Its Spot Among Global Crypto Leaders

In late March, Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, graced the cover of Forbes. In comments made for HTX, he referred to this as an opportunity to showcase not only himself but the entire cryptocurrency industry on a global stage.

Forbes labeled Sun as “the crypto billionaire who helped the Trump family earn $400 million.”

*“This is a significant milestone, but it’s merely the beginning. It affirms our achievements in the industry, enhances the reputation of HTX and TRON, and boosts their visibility. In business, Forbes’ recognition is a symbol of trust and authority,”* Sun remarked.

He became the second Chinese individual, following Jack Ma, to appear on the magazine’s cover.

*“The key difference is that when Ma was featured on the cover, Alibaba was already a well-established brand. Blockchain, however, is still in its infancy. Out of seven billion people on the planet, TRON has only 300 million users. We are just at the starting line,”* Sun stated.

Previously, three figures from the crypto sector had appeared on the magazine’s cover: Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and former FTX head Sam Bankman-Fried. Recently, Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, joined their ranks.

Expressing his vision for the industry, Sun conveyed a positive outlook and emphasized his intention to remain involved for at least several more decades to elevate the sector:

*“I believe I can contribute to the cryptocurrency industry for another 40 years. I entered this field in 2012 — it’s only been 13 years. If I am given three times that amount of time, I am confident I can help take the industry to new heights.”*

Sun also highlighted the consistent growth in trading volumes and successful asset listings on HTX. He reported a net inflow of over $100 million for three consecutive months.

*“Currently, HTX ranks sixth in the world in terms of liquidity. With the right efforts, we have every chance of making it back into the global top three,”* he declared.

Additionally, Sun mentioned that Forbes recently included HTX in its list of the most reliable cryptocurrency exchanges globally. Following its rebranding (HTX was formerly known as Huobi), the platform has become more recognizable and accessible to users worldwide.

Earlier, Sun had announced the launch of AI products and a new season of meme tokens on TRON.
