Sun Yuchen's Keynote at WebX 2026: TRON is Advancing Towards AI-Driven Financial Infrastructure

Sun Yuchen stated that as AI entities accelerate towards autonomous decision-making and trading, digital identity, on-chain payments, asset management, and reliable settlement will become core demands.

Recently, Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON, delivered an online keynote speech at the WebX 2026 conference in Japan, discussing the integration trends of cryptographic technology and artificial intelligence, and elaborating on the infrastructural value of blockchain in the era of AI entities. He emphasized that as AI entities move towards autonomous decision-making and trading, digital identity, on-chain payments, asset management, and reliable settlement will become essential needs. TRON is leveraging its stablecoin network and ecological infrastructures like B.AI to facilitate more efficient access of AI entities to the global financial system.

From Intelligent Decision-Making to Autonomous Trading: Blockchain Enhances Key Capabilities of AI Entities

Sun Yuchen pointed out that over the past few years, blockchain and artificial intelligence have primarily developed along two relatively independent paths: the former builds an open network for value transfer, asset ownership, and settlement, while the latter continuously enhances information processing, decision-making, and automation capabilities for complex tasks. Now, as AI entities begin to possess capabilities for searching, reasoning, negotiating, and task collaboration, the two are gradually converging.

To truly participate in real economic activities, AI entities need more than just "intelligence"; they also require verifiable digital identities, independent fund management capabilities, open payment channels, and trustworthy mechanisms for interacting with data, computing power, and financial services. The characteristics of blockchain, such as programmable settlement, transparent records, and permissionless access, can support entities in holding and transferring digital assets, executing on-chain transactions, and participating in the digital economy in a verifiable manner.

In this trend, the TRON ecosystem is promoting the construction of infrastructures like B.AI and Bank of AI. B.AI, based on the TRON blockchain, aims to build identity, fund management, and autonomous trading capabilities for AI entities, connecting them with financial systems, digital services, and computing resources; Bank of AI focuses on financial infrastructure, providing support for on-chain payments, identity verification, and DeFi interactions for AI entities on TRON and BNB Chain.

Sun Yuchen stated that these explorations reflect the potential of open blockchain networks to support new types of intelligent economic activities. As the demand from AI entities for identity, payments, and reliable trading channels continues to grow, TRON is expected to further leverage its infrastructural advantages in stablecoin circulation and on-chain settlement.

Scale, Security, and Collaboration: TRON Strengthens Global On-Chain Settlement Network

The speech revealed that the total number of on-chain accounts on TRON has exceeded 390 million, with a total locked value of over $26 billion; the network processes nearly 13 million transactions daily, with an average daily transfer volume exceeding $24 billion. In 2025, TRON's protocol revenue is expected to exceed $3.4 billion.

Stablecoins are a crucial driving force behind TRON's network activities. Currently, TRON has become the leading blockchain network in terms of cumulative trading volume and daily active users for USDT, with an on-chain USDT circulation of approximately $90 billion. The demand for high-frequency, low-cost, and globally covered stablecoin transfers lays the foundation for TRON to further serve digital payments, cross-border settlements, and the AI economy.

While expanding its infrastructure scale, TRON is also continuously enhancing on-chain security and compliance collaboration. In September 2024, TRON, in collaboration with Tether and TRM Labs, established the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU). Since its establishment, T3 FCU has analyzed millions of transactions globally, monitoring funds exceeding $3 billion and assisting in freezing illegal assets worth approximately $450 million across five continents.

Sun Yuchen stated that the future unified financial system will integrate the mature capabilities of traditional finance with the openness and efficiency of blockchain networks, supporting global payments, digital commerce, decentralized finance, and AI-driven new economic activities. This process cannot be accomplished by a single enterprise or network alone; it requires long-term collaboration among blockchain, artificial intelligence, financial institutions, and regulatory stakeholders to jointly build a more open, efficient, and trustworthy global financial infrastructure.
