Sun Yuchen: Appearing on the cover of Forbes in English is a new beginning, and we must continue to build the industry for 40 years

On March 28, Beijing time, TRON founder and Huobi HTX global advisor Justin Sun graced the cover of the English version of Forbes, with the international authoritative media referring to him as "the billionaire leader in the crypto space." On the evening of the 28th, Justin Sun appeared in a live stream themed "Justin Sun on the Cover of Forbes! Another Chapter in the Crypto Legend?" hosted by Huobi HTX, sharing his feelings after appearing on the Forbes cover with users. Huobi HTX spokesperson Liu Ye, along with crypto KOLs Vito, MEJ Mao Mao Jie, DaDa, LOYAL Lu Yao, PPP, Zhi Liao, and industry media MetaEra, Jinse Finance, and Mars Finance, attended the event.

Showcasing the Chinese Image on the International Stage through the Crypto Industry

Justin Sun is the second Chinese entrepreneur to appear on the cover of the English version of Forbes, following Jack Ma. Justin Sun believes this will help the public understand him and the crypto industry he represents, thereby changing perceptions and views on the crypto sector. "This is a great opportunity for the industry's development domestically," Justin Sun said. "We can prove to the outside world that the crypto industry can represent the image and interests of the Chinese people internationally."

"This is indeed a milestone progress, but it is just the beginning," Justin Sun added. Before him, only CZ, Brian Armstrong, and SBF had appeared on the cover of the English version of Forbes in the crypto industry. "This is an affirmation of our achievements in the industry, and it has also elevated and driven brands like Huobi HTX and TRON. In the business field, Forbes' recognition will provide a more professional endorsement of trust for our overall business."

Forbes' Recognition Will Assist Huobi HTX's Global Expansion

The three previous crypto figures who appeared on the cover of the English version of Forbes corresponded to three exchanges: Binance, Coinbase, and FTX. Justin Sun represents Huobi HTX. He stated, "Not long ago, Forbes rated Huobi HTX as one of the most trusted crypto exchanges globally. Coupled with this recognition, it will greatly assist our expansion overseas. After we upgraded our international brand to HTX, the brand has become easier for overseas users to understand. I am very optimistic about the future development of Huobi HTX."

Recently, Justin Sun has repeatedly tweeted affirming Huobi HTX's performance: steady growth in trading volume, outstanding new asset wealth effects, and over 100 million in net inflows for three consecutive months… "At the current level, Huobi HTX ranks about sixth globally, and through our efforts, we have a complete opportunity to return to the top three exchanges," Justin Sun said.

Continuing to Build the Industry for 40 Years

March 28 also marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Jack Ma's Hupan University. As a student of Hupan University, when discussing Jack Ma, Justin Sun stated, "The biggest difference is that when Jack Ma appeared on the Forbes cover, Alibaba was already a household name. However, the construction of the blockchain industry still has a long way to go; with 7 billion people globally, TRON has only 300 million users, and we are still in a very early stage."

For this emerging industry, the young Justin Sun has an even stronger desire and greater goals. "I believe I can work for at least another 40 years without any problem, hoping to make the best use of the time ahead to better promote industry development. I entered the industry in 2012, and it has only been 13 years. If I am given three times that amount of time, I can push the industry to a new peak."
