Elected as Prime Minister of Liberland: Why Justin Sun?
Liberland is a micronation located between Croatia and Serbia. It was first proclaimed in 2015 by Czech politician Vít Jedlička. Known for its philosophy of laissez-faire capitalism and minimal government interference, this tiny would-be nation promotes values like individual freedom, low taxes, and efficient autonomy. Liberland has become a political experiment that has attracted the attention of libertarians and anarchists alike.
On October 8, Liberland President Vít Jedlička announced the results of its latest congress election, with Justin Sun nominated as acting Prime Minister. This demonstrates Justin’s strong alignment with Liberland’s libertarian ideals, marking a big step as his experiment with libertarianism extends from the crypto world into real-world politics.
This crypto tycoon has long championed libertarianism, decentralization, and the widespread adoption of blockchain technology—principles that are in harmony with Liberland’s values. As a trailblazer in blockchain, Sun’s vision for HTX as “The People’s Exchange” and his efforts to build a decentralized governance model through HTX DAO highlight the transformative potential of decentralization. His mission is to create a more democratic, fair, and open economic system, which resonates with Liberland’s founding ideal: giving individuals more autonomy and reducing reliance on central power.
HTX Embraces Decentralization: The People’s Exchange
In 2023, Justin Sun, serving as the Global Advisor of HTX, led a major rebranding effort, evolving Huobi into HTX with the vision of becoming “The People’s Exchange.” This new direction focused on building HTX into an open, transparent, and highly autonomous digital asset trading platform. Users are no longer just participants but play an integral role in decision-making processes.

Additionally, users can manage the platform in a decentralized manner through HTX DAO. This reflects Sun’s strong belief in free markets and autonomy and his ambition to create a platform governed collectively by its users. Guided by this DAO governance model, HTX is more than an exchange; it’s a financial community where users have real influence over the platform’s growth.
The platform’s global expansion and localized services continue to strengthen its position as a leading player in the crypto market. Meanwhile, the convergence of a wide range of high-quality assets, fast trading services, and robust security makes it a key exchange for users worldwide. Industry acclaim and a rapidly expanding user base are driving HTX toward its vision of becoming “The People’s Exchange.”
HTX’s efforts have earned it widespread recognition within the crypto industry. The exchange has been nominated for Blockchain Life Awards for two consecutive years, while Sun has been a finalist for “Crypto Entrepreneur of the Year.” At the Blockchain Life 2024 in Dubai, HTX garnered three major nominations, including “Centralized Exchange of the Year,” “Crypto Launchpad of the Year,” and “Client Service of the Year.” These accolades are a testament to HTX’s innovation and achievements in the blockchain space.
HTX DAO: A New Paradigm for Community Autonomy
HTX DAO further advances Sun’s libertarian experiment by giving all holders of $HTX tokens a voice in platform decisions. Whether it’s listing new tokens, setting trading fees, or launching new promotions, the community’s input is woven into every aspect of the exchange’s operations. The rise of decentralized autonomous organizations, such as HTX DAO, marks the phaseout of traditional centralized business models with decentralized community autonomy.
Through HTX DAO, Sun is building an open, user-governed digital economy, upending traditional business structures and pushing blockchain governance toward a more decentralized future.
As the acting Prime Minister of Liberland, Sun can apply the decentralized principles he championed at HTX and HTX DAO to national governance.With blockchain technology at its core, Liberland’s citizens could directly participate in public affairs, ushering in a more transparent and efficient governance. This experiment could potentially transform national governance.

Justin Sun’s journey from cryptocurrency to politics showcases the limitless potential of libertarianism. He is pushing the boundaries of tradition and charting a path toward a more free and autonomous future.
The experiment is far from over, but Justin Sun’s innovative and bold approach is already making its mark on the crypto world and possibly the future of global politics and economics. His principles and practices will impress the world in an all-round way, regardless of the outcome.
