Justin Sun: Stablecoin Payments Becoming Widely Accepted Use Case for Non-Crypto Users

From April 18 to 19, TOKEN2049 Dubai, sponsored by TRON as a top sponsor, took place in Dubai, UAE. TRON founder Justin Sun was invited to attend and shared important insights on topics such as stablecoins and meme coins.

Justin Sun believes that stablecoin payments have become one of the widely accepted use cases for non-crypto users. They prefer to use stablecoins for payments because it’s fast, cheap, and supports instant settlement. Starting with stablecoins, these users can gradually begin to use other infrastructure in the crypto space.

Regarding meme coins, Sun pointed out that meme coins are unique to the crypto world, highlighting the differences between us and traditional industries. Building a successful meme coin is as challenging as creating a high-quality cryptocurrency project, with its billion-dollar valuation supported by fair distribution and community participation. He also mentioned that new meme coins emerge in each cycle, but since the types of animals are limited, it’s uncertain whether there will be as many meme coins in the future as there are now.

TOKEN2049 is one of the significant events in the crypto industry, held annually in Singapore and Dubai, with attendees including founders, investors, developers, and media from leading Web3 companies worldwide. Since 2022, TRON has sponsored and participated in TOKEN2049 for three consecutive years.
