It is worth mentioning that this "Libra Cup" National Debate Competition also attracted top debater Zhang Zilong, a judge from the 2025 Bilibili New National Debate, and the 2013 New National Debate champion.

After the competition, Zhang Zilong expressed gratitude to all the opponents and teammates he encountered from the preliminary rounds to now, and shared his expectations for the future of the event.

My opponents always provided valuable content for me to learn from. Through this competition, I met many excellent and talented individuals in the crypto community. I am also very grateful to Huobi HTX, SunPump, and all the sponsors for providing this opportunity, allowing me to engage with the crypto industry and try different experiences.

The Soul Question of the Finals: Exploring the Impact of Sun Yuchen and Trump on the Crypto World

In the finals, the "Birds on the Tree Team" and the "Beijing Roast Duck Team" engaged in a heated discussion on the topic, "If I could go back to 2015, would I choose to be Sun Yuchen or Trump?" The entire match was spectacular, with many memorable quotes.

Indeed, 2015 was an important time node. At that time, blockchain technology was just emerging, the U.S. was approaching the 2016 election, and TRON had not yet been established. Whether Sun Yuchen or Trump, both would face completely different opportunities and challenges of the era.

The "Birds on the Tree Team" expressed a desire to become Sun Yuchen in 2015. Sun Yuchen was an early pioneer in the crypto industry and a leader in promoting the global consensus of blockchain. He founded the TRON ecosystem, bringing blockchain technology from the margins to the mainstream, opening the door to the crypto world for billions globally. Without pioneers like Sun Yuchen since 2015 or even earlier pushing blockchain into the mainstream, there would not be so many people in crypto today, and the industry's demands would not have become an important voice in society.

They also pointed out that Trump's current crypto-friendly image is based on the support of these crypto voters. Without this support, many of his policies would be hard to discuss. The development of history fundamentally relies on the broad consensus of the masses, rather than the personal decisions of a single politician. Becoming Sun Yuchen and uniting with the people to build consensus and promote industry progress can lead to a more positive societal perception of the crypto industry, providing a stronger grassroots support foundation for the later Bitcoin President Trump, thus promoting industry development.

The "Beijing Roast Duck Team" argued that the macro vision and political leadership represented by Trump have a huge impact on the crypto industry, especially as Trump's return to the White House brings cryptocurrencies into a new stage of development. Bitcoin has shown rare upward momentum in the past two months, and the newly issued personal Meme coin by Trump has skyrocketed, providing significant momentum for cryptocurrencies.

Returning to the Present, Both Sides Achieve Each Other and Promote Crypto Development Together

Whether choosing Sun Yuchen or Trump, returning to the present, both have contributed to today's crypto market.

As the first president in U.S. history to explicitly support cryptocurrencies, Trump has won greater political support and legitimacy for the crypto industry, pushing cryptocurrencies toward broader development markets. After his inauguration, WLFI increased its holdings of TRX twice, accumulating over 30 million coins. Currently, TRX has become its third-largest asset. Sun Yuchen commented on this, stating, "The second purchase usually has special symbolic significance, as it is not just a transaction but a reaffirmation of the initial decision."

Meanwhile, Sun Yuchen has invested a total of $75 million into Trump's family crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and has been appointed as an advisor to the project. Additionally, after the official launch of Trump's Meme coin "$TRUMP" on January 18, it quickly went live on the Huobi HTX platform. Relevant data shows that the number of new registered users on Huobi HTX exceeded 100,000 that day, a growth closely related to the launch of $TRUMP.

After more than a decade of construction and accumulation, Sun Yuchen has created the prosperity of the TRON and HTX DAO ecosystems, becoming a steadfast Builder in the industry. The deep strategic cooperation between Sun Yuchen and WLFI will enhance the credibility of the entire industry, increase the security and sustainability of the cryptocurrency market, and further promote the crypto industry toward compliance and regulation.
