SINGAPORE, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Justin Sun, Global Advisor of HTX and Founder of TRON, has been featured on the daily cover of Forbes digital assets, marking a significant milestone in the blockchain industry. Sun becomes the second Chinese entrepreneur, after Jack Ma, and the fourth crypto exchange figure, following CZ, SBF, and Brian Armstrong, to achieve this prestigious recognition. Forbes profiles Sun as a “Crypto Billionaire Who Helped The Trumps Make $400 Million,” highlighting his distinct influence and global vision.

Sun’s Crypto Empire: From Disruptor to Industry Leader

The Forbes feature portrays Sun as a figure of “youth, controversy, and immense wealth.” Born in 1990, Sun has built a reputation for bold, unconventional moves within the blockchain space. “In my 20s I was just trying everything, Sun shares, illustrating his hands-on, entrepreneurial approach to innovation.

Over the past decade, Sun has developed a comprehensive crypto ecosystem encompassing public chains, payment networks, exchanges, and decentralized finance (DeFi). His flagship project, TRON, ranks among the fastest-growing blockchain networks in the world, with over 300 million users and daily transaction volumes exceeding ten million. This achievement underscores his vision for a “global payment system” and reflects the increasing mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies.

As Global Advisor of HTX, Sun has helped steer the exchange to new heights. HTX was recently recognized by Forbes as one of the “Top 25 World’s Most Trustworthy Crypto Exchanges of 2025”. Under Sun’s leadership, HTX has championed compliance, security, and user experience, setting a benchmark for the convergence of traditional finance and crypto innovation. The synergy between HTX and TRON, facilitated by Sun’s strategic guidance, is driving seamless resource integration through technological interoperability.

Forbes Cover Recognition: A Testament to Global Leadership

Sun’s appearance on the Forbes cover underscores his growing influence on the global crypto stage. He joins a short list of visionary leaders from the crypto exchange world, alongside CZ, SBF, and Brian Armstrong, who have earned this recognition. In a post on X, Sun remarked, “From a visionary to a global force — honored to be featured on Forbes as Crypto’s Billionaire Barker.”

Previously, Forbes Portugal included Sun in its “40 Notable Blockchain Entrepreneurs to Watch” list, where he ranked second—only behind Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Notably, Sun was the only Chinese entrepreneur in the top three, representing the highest placement ever for a Chinese figure in a global blockchain ranking. Forbes has also consistently named Sun in its “30 Under 30 Asia” lists and has noted his wide-ranging interests, including art collection, gaming, investment, philanthropy, and space exploration.

In late 2024, Justin was appointed as Prime Minister of the Republic of Liberland, aiming to redefine the crypto space with principles of freedom and innovation.

Strategic Collaborations and Industry Mission: Mainstreaming Crypto

The Forbes article also highlights Sun’s collaboration with the Trump family, a partnership that reportedly generated over $400 million. His $75 million investment in the Trumps’ World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project demonstrates how crypto can be strategically deployed to integrate with mainstream business initiatives. This bold move showcases Sun’s ability to identify emerging trends and leverage blockchain across cultural IP, social media, and digital asset markets.

Addressing the industry’s volatility and credibility challenges, Sun emphasizes the importance of a “long-term vision” in his Forbes interview. Both HTX and TRON now prioritize transparency, open-source development, and community governance.

Sun’s appearance on the Forbes cover signals not only personal success but the rising global influence of crypto innovation. Through HTX and TRON, Sun is helping bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3, accelerating the shift toward a transparent, efficient, and inclusive digital economy. As Forbes concludes, “This Eastern crypto pioneer is redefining global rules with code and consensus.”

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XtalPi (2228.HK) today announced the official signing of a strategic R&D collaboration agreement with U.S.-based Kula Bio in Boston. This partnership initiates a joint research initiative worth multi-million USD, focused on developing the next generation of microbial organic fertilizers to provide breakthrough solutions for agriculture in arid and desert regions. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI), microbial technology, and automation, the collaboration aims to enhance agricultural productivity, improve soil health, and accelerate the global transition to green and efficient farming practices across China, the Middle East, and beyond.

Kula Bio’s technology is based on research led by Harvard University professor and National Academy of Sciences member Daniel Nocera, who was recognized by TIME magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009. The company has developed microbial organic fertilizers that compete with chemical fertilizers, significantly enhancing soil fertility, increasing crop yields, and reducing environmental pollution.

The partnership will focus on overcoming soil degradation in drought-prone regions through innovative microbial fertilizers designed to transform non-traditional arable land into high-quality farmland. Under the agreement, the two companies will leverage XtalPi’s globally leading AI and automation R&D platform and Kula Bio’s extensive expertise in microbial technology to co-develop innovative biofertilizers tailored for arid and desert agricultural applications. The multi-million-dollar R&D investment will be allocated to AI-driven product optimization, field trials, and market adaptation research, with initial commercialization efforts planned in China and the Middle East, expanding global arable land resources and promoting ecological resilience.

As part of the initiative, XtalPi will oversee field trials in China and the Middle East, covering at least five crop types to ensure that research outcomes translate into practical applications with strong market potential. Meanwhile, Kula Bio will utilize the technological advancements from this collaboration to accelerate global agricultural decarbonization and sustainable development.

This collaboration marks another milestone in XtalPi’s strategic expansion of its AI-powered agriculture ecosystem. Following recent partnerships in AI-driven crop breeding with CyberPlantX, and intelligent seed R&D platform with Guangdong Hengjian Investment and Shouguang Vegetable Group, the Kula Bio alliance further solidifies XtalPi’s commitment to modernizing agriculture through cutting-edge technologies. By leveraging AI and automation to address key challenges in agriculture, XtalPi continues to drive the industry’s transformation into a tech-driven, sustainable growth model.

Kula Bio’s President and COO Dr. Harrison Yoon commented: “Kula Bio’s groundbreaking microbial technology is poised to create powerful synergy with XtalPi’s state-of-the-art AI driven breeding and microbial design platform. Powered by advanced automation, this collaboration marks a bold step forward in accelerating innovation, expanding market reach, and addressing some of the world’s most urgent sustainability challenges through next generation biological solutions.”

Dr. Shuhao Wen, Chairman of XtalPi, commented: “It’s an honor to forge this strategic collaboration with Kula Bio’s world-class team as we accelerate large-scale deployment of next-gen green agricultural solutions in arid regions worldwide. Together, we’re delivering market-defining products that overcome arable land limitations while setting new industry benchmarks for future sustainable farming practices.
