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.

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.
