ChainCatcher news, Huobi HTX global advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun was invited to attend the Hong Kong Consensus Conference's roundtable forum themed "Unlocking DeFi for the Masses: A Dialogue with World Liberty Financial and TRON." He stated that over the past five years, the entire crypto industry has spent a significant amount of time and effort to integrate into the mainstream financial world. The role of WLFI in connecting traditional finance with cryptocurrency and the Trump administration's supportive stance on cryptocurrency are what the industry needs, which is why the collaboration with WLFI has been swift and smooth.Regarding the current Meme market, Justin Sun mentioned that Meme coins are the future of cryptocurrency but need to be operated in the right way. "Recently, we have seen some Meme coins experience significant price drops, one reason being that they were not launched in the correct manner. The most successful Meme coins, such as Dogecoin and Shiba, have developed from communities rather than being overvalued at launch. Currently, many Meme coins are being launched at high valuations through VC investments, leading to price crashes and a loss of market trust."Justin Sun also revealed future development plans during the forum:The decentralized stablecoin USDD currently has a market value of $200 million, with plans to double its market value in the short term. Meanwhile, it will continue to offer a high yield return of 20%, with ongoing monitoring and optimization.The potential for the combination of AI and blockchain is enormous, with plans to launch an AI product based on DeepSeek in Q2 2025.

Ling believes it should at least be decentralized and privacy-protecting, while Paulo Carlos emphasized that accessibility must come first.Regarding whether there are significant breakthroughs in this round of Web3 social, the guests had differing opinions. Christy believes that the progress in social interactions has been underestimated, and he looks forward to the impact of AIGC on various aspects of daily socializing, while Paulo Carlos thinks there hasn't been much real innovation, as most are just applications that were previously attempted but failed, now gaining more adoption.On the future trends of social interactions, Suji Yan stressed that it is not good to financialize many aspects of social interactions too early. SocialFi ultimately does not serve humanity, nor does it serve our current version of ourselves or our descendants. It is more like serving a species that will evolve into a hybrid of human and AI in the coming decades. Ling also believes that in the future, AI agents could become users.Remote participation 👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html(Source link)
