CoinDesk managed to sit down with him for 20 minutes at Hong Kong Fintech Week, discussing topics ranging from memecoins to the recent partnership with Chainlink. Sun emphasized the importance of fair launches in memecoins, stating that they offer a more level playing field compared to venture-capital-backed tokens. He also expressed his enthusiasm for the memecoin market, revealing that he is '60% dog' when it comes to his preference between dogs and cats.
