TRON founder Justin Sun appeared on the main stage at TOKEN2049 in Singapore for a conversation with Kevin Follonier, founder of the podcast When Shift Happens. The discussion covered Sun’s personal experience in crypto, the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain, and his newly introduced “Justin Sun Award.”
Sun said the combination of cryptocurrencies and AI agents could become one of the most important application areas over the next five years. He argued that crypto, as software that can keep iterating, has an advantage over what he described as a traditional banking system that has seen long-term stagnation, adding that a new generation of users will be more inclined to use crypto-based services.
He also said TRON is building an AI-driven economic and financial network. According to Sun, the protocol holds about $100 billion in custodied assets and processes between $20 billion and $30 billion in daily transactions. He added that TRON is also advancing tokenized U.S. equities and an AI routing platform called B.AI. On the Justin Sun Award, he said it will reward contributors in mathematics and AI more frequently, with a top prize of $1 million for a single problem.
