Justin Sun: AI will be crypto's next breakthrough

Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun believes the next breakthrough for the cryptocurrency market will be AI. In an interview with CoinDesk at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, he said that while crypto and blockchain are promising long-term, the industry needs a case like ChatGPT to drive mass adoption. Until a clear value proposition is proven, Sun predicted that the market's real growth will continue to come from established use cases such as stablecoins and cross-border payments.
