The event gathered industry leaders, institutional innovators, and Web3 pioneers to explore the future of decentralized governance and financial systems.

Justin Sun on TRON, HTX DAO, and the Future of Web3

In a powerful keynote, Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and Global Advisor of HTX, shared his reflections on 13 years of crypto leadership and his vision for the next chapter of Web3. Citing the values of "fear, reverence, and respect", Sun emphasized long-term commitment over short-term speculation.

"Whether markets rise or fall, we are here to build," Sun declared. "HTX DAO and TRON will continue to serve as the backbone of decentralized finance, providing clarity, security, and innovation."

Sun also addressed the industry's path to global scale, predicting the total digital asset market could eventually reach $200 trillion. "The mission is simple," he said. "Get the math right. Get the security right. That's how we earn trust and unlock the next wave of growth."

HTX DAO Launches Token-Based Governance

Molly, Ambassador of HTX DAO, introduced the launch of the $HTX Token-Weighted Voting Tool, which enables holders to participate in on-chain governance. The feature marks a step toward building a truly community-led exchange.

"This tool makes every $HTX holder a stakeholder in the platform's future," Molly said.

She also previewed HTX DAO's first two governance proposals, including the establishment of a DAO committee and the launch of a community media series, DAO Talk.

HTX Ventures: Regulation and Stablecoins Will Drive 2025 Growth

Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, presented an outlook on the global regulatory landscape, highlighting how recent shifts are unlocking institutional participation. He noted the positive impact of MiCAR in Europe and the crypto-favorable stance of the current U.S. administration.
