“I estimate that our facilitated transactions will exceed Swift’s in the next five years,” Sun, 35, said in an interview with the South China Morning Post. He added that the transaction volume through Tron was already expected to reach US$8 trillion this year.
“In the future, we can easily boost the transaction volume to US$300 trillion or US$400 trillion,” Sun said. “It won’t be a surprise if we could handle transactions 10 times or even 100 times larger than Swift.”
Sun pointed out that Swift is processing transactions in days. By comparison, “Tron is facilitating transactions in seconds”, he said.
His confidence reflects the growing influence of the Tron blockchain in stablecoin transactions globally. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that has a fixed value by being pegged to a reference asset, such as the US dollar.
