The Chinese crypto community welcomed a historic moment today! 35-year-old Justin Sun stood on the Nasdaq bell-ringing platform with his TRON Inc., and at that moment, the lights of Times Square not only illuminated this young face but also the dreams of all Chinese Web3 entrepreneurs. On the evening of July 24, Beijing time, as the bell rang, the stock code "TRON" officially appeared on the trading screens of the Nasdaq main board—this is not some shell listing, but a solid blockchain-native project, bringing TRX tokens and DeFi protocols like JustLend, forcefully breaking into the core of the traditional capital market. Old investors should still remember TRON from 2017, which claimed to create a "decentralized internet"; how many people thought this was a pipe dream? Eight years later, Justin Sun has managed to write this seemingly illusory blockchain story into the financial statements of Wall Street. From acquiring BitTorrent to launching the USDD stablecoin, from building the HTX trading platform to today moving the entire TRON ecosystem onto Nasdaq, every step this post-85s young man took has made people exclaim "outrageous." But the most outrageous part is that he actually did it—bringing TRX from the exchange's candlestick chart into the balance sheet of a listed company, turning on-chain protocols like JustLend into "cash flow businesses" that can influence stock prices. The weight of this bell is far beyond imagination. It’s important to know that TRON is the first Chinese project to land on the US stock market with core blockchain business, which means that Wall Street analysts will have to start studying "the impact of on-chain TVL growth on financial reports". Even better, TRON has set an example for the entire industry—originally, on-chain ecosystems can indeed seamlessly connect with the structure of listed companies, and token economies can truly gain pricing recognition from traditional capital. Those who keep shouting that "blockchain will disrupt traditional finance" should now take a good look at how TRON uses its identity as a listed company to empower blockchain assets. As for Justin Sun, you may not like his high-profile style, but you have to admire how he always turns seemingly impossible things into reality. While everyone is still debating when Web3 will mainstream, he has already brought TRON to ring the bell at Nasdaq; while others are still fantasizing about "space crypto plans," he is genuinely preparing to embark on a space journey. Today in Times Square, this 35-year-old not only rewrote the ceiling for Chinese entrepreneurs in the crypto field but also declared with a bell: the blockchain narrative is moving from geek forums to mainstream capital markets, and this time, the Chinese are in the spotlight. Those who once mocked that "blockchain is far from going public" should wake up; TRON's stock code is already glaringly displayed on Nasdaq. This is not just a simple IPO; it clearly sets a new benchmark for the entire industry—originally, on-chain ecosystems and listed companies can play like this, and token economies can break through in this way. Watching the expressions of TRON employees suddenly turning into "regular troops of a US-listed company," it suddenly feels like what this industry lacks most is perhaps Justin Sun's kind of "daring to think and daring to do" spirit. In the echoes of today’s bell, there lies a revelation for all Web3 entrepreneurs: don’t just focus on painting big pies; it’s time to show the world the future in the white paper, in a tangible way.
