Recently, the Hurun Research Institute released the "2025 Hurun U35 China Entrepreneurship Pioneers" list. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, was selected for this recognition based on his long-term practice in blockchain infrastructure, stablecoin payments, and global innovation. Hurun Research Institute data shows that TRON's value has reached 227.5 billion RMB, ranking first among the U35-founded enterprises on this year's list and accounting for nearly half of the total combined value of all listed first-generation U35 entrepreneurial ventures. This further highlights Justin Sun's representative standing among young Chinese entrepreneurs and underscores the infrastructure-level value of TRON within the global blockchain industry.
Leading the List in Corporate Value, Long-term Entrepreneurial Practice Gains Authoritative Recognition
The "Hurun U35 China Entrepreneurship Pioneers" list aims to identify young entrepreneurs aged 35 and under who demonstrate strong growth potential and social impact. This year, 187 individuals were selected, of which 116 are first-generation entrepreneurs, covering cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and digital technology. As a key component of the Hurun "U-Series," previous editions of this list have recognized notable figures in the new economy, including Han Bicheng (BrainCo), Xu Bing (SenseTime), Xu Yi (Bilibili), Wang Ning (Keep), Yang Zhilin (Moonshot AI), Yan Junjie (MiniMax), and Peng Zhihui (Zhiyuan Robot).
In this year's list, Justin Sun led the first-generation entrepreneurs based on the corporate valuation of TRON. The Hurun Research Institute valued TRON at 227.5 billion RMB, while the average value of other U35 first-generation entrepreneurial enterprises on the list was 4.2 billion RMB. Excluding TRON, the average value of the remaining enterprises drops to 2.2 billion RMB. TRON alone accounts for approximately 47% of the total combined value of all listed U35 first-generation enterprises. This reflects that after years of development, it has evolved from a blockchain startup into a digital infrastructure with a global user base, significant network effects, and sustained application demand.
Justin Sun founded TRON in 2017 and has continuously promoted its application in areas such as stablecoin circulation, on-chain payments, decentralized finance (DeFi), and the global developer ecosystem. In a previous interview with Hurun Report, he summed up his entrepreneurial goal as: enabling anyone, anywhere in the world, regardless of their country or whether they have a bank account, to conveniently and cost-effectively transfer and use their funds. This vision forms the core logic behind TRON's long-term development path.
TRC20-USDT Surpasses $90 Billion, Real Demand Builds the Value Foundation
TRON's corporate value is built upon the continuously expanding on-chain applications and stablecoin settlement demand. Since partnering with Tether in 2019 to launch TRC20-USDT, TRON has leveraged its fast transaction speeds, low fees, and stable network operation to gradually become a key network for global USDT issuance, transfer, and value settlement.
The latest data shows that the circulation of TRC20-USDT on the TRON blockchain has officially exceeded $90 billion, setting a new historical record and accounting for approximately 48% of the global USDT supply. The number of holding accounts has surpassed 74.9 million, with cumulative transfers exceeding 3.5 billion. Simultaneously, the total number of accounts on the TRON network has exceeded 390 million, with cumulative transactions surpassing 14.6 billion, continuously expanding the global user base and network effects.
In his interview with Hurun Report, Justin Sun stated that anything capable of enduring market cycles must be backed by real demand. Each market adjustment phase eliminates noise and bubbles, but the sustained growth in user numbers and on-chain transactions demonstrates that the problems being solved by blockchain are real. He also identified the partnership with Tether to launch TRC20-USDT as a key decision in TRON's development, concluding, "When the general trend is right, you have to dare to push forward, but the object of your push must be the strongest."
From stablecoin issuance, cross-border transfers, and peer-to-peer payments to on-chain settlement and the demand for digital dollars in emerging markets, TRON is continuously expanding the application boundaries of global value transfer. Justin Sun's inclusion in the "2025 Hurun U35 China Entrepreneurship Pioneers" list not only recognizes his entrepreneurial capabilities, global vision, and long-term commitment but also further confirms TRON's leading position in the global Web3 ecosystem from the perspectives of corporate value and real business scale.
