Asia's Web3 Policy Landscape Reshaped: Justin Sun's GWDC Korea Speech Highlights Collaboration and Balance as the Most Scarce Competitiveness in the Next Phase
On March 23, the Hong Kong–Korea Web3 Policy Promotion Alliance Preparatory Committee was officially established, alongside the launch of the "2026 GWDC Global Developers Conference · Seoul (Korea Station)." The online launch event, hosted by Web3Labs, HYPAI Labs, and GWDC, featured key figures including Hong Kong Legislative Council Member Wu Jiezhuang, South Korean National Assembly Member Byung-deok Min, TRON founder Justin Sun, and Bithumb CEO Lee Jae-won.
In his keynote speech titled "Asia’s New Web3 Era: Improving Regulatory Systems, Empowering Infrastructure, and Deepening International Collaboration," Justin Sun discussed global regulatory trends, TRON’s infrastructure strategy and AI developments, and the importance of cross-border policy cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. He emphasized that global regulatory landscape is becoming clearer and more standardized, citing legislative progress in the U.S., E.U. MiCA enforcement, Hong Kong’s stablecoin framework, and pro-innovation environments in Singapore and the UAE.
Sun highlighted that regulatory clarity has driven significant market growth, with the stablecoin market expanding from $206 billion to over $320 billion. However, he cautioned that excessive regulation could hinder innovation and stressed the need for balanced policies that foster both safety and growth.
He also shared updates on TRON’s development, noting it has over 370 million registered accounts and processes $20–30 billion in daily transactions, making it a leading blockchain for stablecoin transfers, particularly USDT. TRON is also advancing in AI integration, having joined the Linux Foundation’s Agentic AI Council alongside major tech and financial institutions.
Sun endorsed the newly formed Hong Kong–Korea alliance as a model for international regulatory coordination, which can prevent fragmentation and promote secure, innovation-friendly policies. He also mentioned TRON’s role in global financial security efforts, including the freezing of over $300 million in illicit funds through the T3 anti-financial crime task force.
In closing, Sun expressed his commitment to supporting cross-regional collaboration for a secure, transparent, and thriving global Web3 ecosystem.
