On April 18, during an official visit to Kyrgyzstan, Tron founder Justin Sun introduced Kyrgyzstan President Sadyr Japarov to the topic of blockchain growth and digital assets. They also discussed the expansion for the country’s KGST stablecoin on Tron. Thus, TRX price gained following the announcement.
Justin Sun Meets Kyrgyzstan President
Today, Sun made headlines again after the WLFI controversy as he met the Kyrgyzstan President. On X, Sun announced: “The President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Japarov, today, April 18, received the founder of the TRON blockchain platform, Justin Sun.” It is an extension of previous interactions between TRON executives and Kyrgyz officials.
The most recent discussions are after a virtual meeting between Tron’s Justin Sun and Krygyz Head of National Council on Virtual Assets and Blockchain Technologies Farkhat Iminov in February 2026. That discussion focused on policy alignment and infrastructure design to adopt blockchain.
Meanwhile, one of the main issues cited in the April meeting was the KGST stablecoin’s growth, per local publisher Akchabar report. For context, KGST is 1:1 pegged to the Kyrgyz som and already live on BNB Chain. Since December 2025, it has been listed on Binance too.
Is KGST Stablecoin Coming To Tron?
Justin Sun suggested implementing KGST on the TRON network to boost transaction throughput and reduce costs. The integration would enable traders to trade in local currency pairs without having to exchange and convert into U.S. dollars.
At some point during the discussion, the Tron founder also proposed that Kyrgyzstan could establish itself as a blockchain hub in two years. For this, he noted that the country will have to utilize scalable networks and regulatory clarity.
In addition, President Japarov spotlighted the continuous development of the domestic crypto industry. There are currently more than 200 registered crypto exchanges and 11 mining activities of industrial scale in the country.
The latest meeting follows the country’s previous engagement with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. In May 2025, Binance’s Zhao was appointed as a presidential adviser on digital assets. Moreover, he was involved in the establishment of KGST and the formation of national crypto projects.
After the development, the Tron’s TRX price increased by 1.24% to be $0.33 at press time on Saturday, April 18.
