On May 1, 2025, at the Token2049 summit held in Dubai, a global event for the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON, hosted a highly anticipated fireside chat with Eric Trump, the second son of President Trump, and Zach Witkoff, co-founder of the decentralized project WLFI.
During this conversation, Zach Witkoff revealed that the USD1 stablecoin issued by WLFI will also be natively launched on the TRON blockchain. Previously, WLFI had issued the stablecoin USD1 on the BNB Chain.
This dialogue focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), financial freedom, and TRON’s key role in driving reforms in the global financial system, attracting thousands of attendees and becoming a highlight of the summit.
TRON and WLFI Deepen Collaboration
In the conversation, Sun Yuchen used TRON’s original intention as a starting point, emphasizing that financial freedom is the core value of blockchain technology. He stated, “The founding purpose of TRON is not to chase profits but to enable 8 billion people worldwide to participate equally in the financial system and enjoy the right to financial freedom.” This concept has permeated the development of TRON and aligns closely with WLFI’s vision.
During the dialogue, Sun Yuchen specifically disclosed the upcoming collaboration between TRON and WLFI: the USD1 stablecoin from WLFI will be natively integrated into the TRON blockchain, with the initial minting scale expected to reach hundreds of millions of dollars, potentially exceeding billions of dollars in market value in the future.
This collaboration not only marks a significant breakthrough for TRON in the stablecoin sector but also further solidifies its position as a global DeFi infrastructure. Sun Yuchen remarked, “The integration of USD1 will bring new vitality to the TRON ecosystem; our goal is to enable every user to easily use the stablecoin through their mobile phones and participate in the global financial system.” He also pointed out, “The partnership between TRON and WLFI represents an important step in the integration of DeFi and traditional finance. We hope to enable global users to seamlessly use stablecoins in their daily lives, such as making purchases in hotels or stores.”
Eric Trump expressed confidence in this collaboration: “The technological strength and user base of TRON provide a perfect platform for the promotion of USD1. We believe this will drive the globalization of financial freedom.” Zach Witkoff further revealed that WLFI plans to integrate USD1 into traditional retail POS systems, allowing users to use stablecoins in real-world scenarios, a goal that aligns closely with TRON’s vision of inclusive finance.
Public data indicates that in November 2024, Sun Yuchen invested $30 million to become the largest holder of WLFI tokens and was appointed as an advisor for the project. Subsequently, his investment with TRON increased to $75 million, laying the foundation for a series of in-depth collaborations between the WLFI project and the TRON network.
Joint Exploration to Advance Financial Freedom
As the host of the dialogue, Sun Yuchen focused the topic on the limitations of traditional finance, the transparency advantages of blockchain, and the future potential of the TRON and WLFI partnership, discussing the possibilities for the future development of decentralized finance.
In the conversation, Eric Trump shared the unpleasant experience of the Trump family being “debanked” by traditional banks for political reasons. He stated that this experience made him deeply understand the value of cryptocurrency: “The crypto community, like us, believes in hard assets and pursues freedom. The transparency and decentralization of blockchain make the financial system no longer controlled by a few people.” Sun Yuchen strongly agreed and further asked, “The financial system is not just a tool; it carries culture and values. How can we reshape the financial system through WLFI and USD1?” This question sparked a lively discussion.
Zach Witkoff elaborated on WLFI’s mission and progress. He pointed out that WLFI aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi, with the USD1 stablecoin supported by short-term government bonds and cash equivalents on a 1:1 basis, striving to become the most transparent and regulated stablecoin in the world. Sun Yuchen noted that TRON’s high-performance blockchain can ensure that USD1 transactions are fast, transparent, and cost-effective, which is key to the integration of DeFi and traditional finance.
Sun Yuchen also envisioned the future of DeFi during this dialogue: “In five years, DeFi and traditional finance will be deeply integrated, and TRON will play the role of a bridge connecting the two.” He called on the industry to strengthen self-regulation and enhance user experience to accelerate mass adoption. Eric Trump agreed, stating, “The blockchain industry needs a more user-friendly experience, just as the real estate industry focuses on customer service. Only in this way can we defeat those outdated traditional banks.”
The fireside chat at the Token 2049 summit not only showcased TRON’s influence in the global blockchain industry but also highlighted Sun Yuchen’s visionary leadership as an industry thought leader. Through in-depth exchanges with Eric Trump and Zach Witkoff, Sun Yuchen conveyed a clear message to the world: TRON is not just a technology platform, but a practitioner of financial freedom.
With the native integration of USD1 on TRON and the deep collaboration with WLFI, TRON is accelerating the fusion of DeFi and traditional finance, bringing more transparent, efficient, and inclusive financial services to global users.
In the future, TRON will continue to uphold its original intention and work with global partners to write a new chapter in financial freedom. As Sun Yuchen stated, “Our mission is far from over until every person on Earth can enjoy the right to financial freedom through TRON.”
