Recently, TRON appeared as a gold sponsor at the Istanbul Blockchain Week (IBW2025), providing strong support for this influential Web3 industry event in Turkey. As a leading global blockchain network, TRON further deepened its strategic layout in Turkey and the Middle East through this sponsorship, showcasing its leadership and influence in the global Web3 space.
Since its inaugural event in 2020, IBW has attracted over 8,000 participants and more than 180 top global speakers, becoming a Web3 innovation hub connecting the Eurasian continent. TRON's participation not only demonstrates its long-term commitment to the Turkish market but also promotes the popularization and application of blockchain technology in the region through technical showcases and industry dialogues.
TRON Strongly Supports IBW2025, Empowering Turkey's Web3 Ecosystem
Since its establishment in 2017, TRON has adhered to the core principles of decentralization, financial freedom, and individual empowerment, growing into one of the most trusted blockchain networks globally. Its low-cost, high-speed, and highly stable infrastructure provides robust support for users worldwide, particularly in Turkey, which is the fourth largest cryptocurrency trading market globally. The TRC-20 USDT, carried on the TRON network, has become the preferred stablecoin for Turkish crypto users due to its extremely low fees and second-level confirmation speed, profoundly influencing the popularization of crypto payments and transfers locally.
TRON founder Justin Sun, in his speech at IBW2025, highly praised the widespread adoption of TRC-20 USDT by the Turkish people, calling it "a model of the global stablecoin economy," showcasing how blockchain drives economic progress. Through this sponsorship of IBW2025, TRON aims to assist in building Turkey's Web3 ecosystem through technical showcases, ecological cooperation, and industry dialogues, consolidating its position in the global blockchain industry.
Regional Influence Deepens, TRON and the Turkish Market Move Forward Together
As an economic powerhouse linking the Eurasian continent, Turkey has shown remarkable performance in the cryptocurrency sector in recent years. TRON participated as a diamond sponsor at the Binance Blockchain Week Istanbul in 2023 and reached a strategic cooperation with the local exchange Bitci in 2024 to promote the listing of various ecological tokens such as TRX, BTT, JUST, SUN, and USDD. These initiatives have laid a solid foundation for TRON in the Turkish market and provided fertile ground for collaboration at IBW2025.
In Turkey, TRC-20 USDT has become the "national standard" for crypto payments. The combined effects of the 2018 Turkish economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have stimulated strong demand for stablecoins among residents. TRON, through its partnership with the crypto payment platform Pundi X, has integrated TRX and USDT into offline payment terminals X POS, promoting the adoption of crypto assets in retail scenarios. According to Hakan Akyüz, General Manager of Pundi X Turkey, user activity on XPOS devices surged by 47% after the integration with the TRON network, with nearly every Turkish crypto user utilizing TRC-20 USDT. Whether for daily consumption or cross-border remittances, TRC-20 USDT has become the preferred tool for Turkish residents due to its efficient and low-cost advantages.
Moreover, TRON's efforts in the Turkish market extend beyond technical and commercial aspects, reflecting a sense of social responsibility. During the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake, TRON founder Justin Sun donated approximately 1 million lira to support post-disaster reconstruction, encouraging leading platforms like Binance and Tether to participate, showcasing the warmth and responsibility of the Web3 community. This sincere contribution has further bridged the gap between TRON and the Turkish people, adding a human touch to its appearance at IBW2025.
As a gold sponsor of IBW2025, TRON showcased its latest advancements in public chains, stablecoins, and DeFi through keynote speeches, interactive booths, and ecological displays.
The TRON network currently has over 315 million user accounts, with a total locked value of 22 billion USD and an average daily transaction volume of approximately 9 million, consistently ranking first globally in USDT issuance, transaction volume, and daily active users. In the future, TRON will continue to increase its investment in the Turkish market, providing resource support for local developers and projects, helping Turkey become a bridgehead for Web3 innovation between Asia and Europe, and realizing the grand vision of a global payment network infrastructure.
