TRX market moves

Powered by MetaMask Market Insights


24h change: -1.04%. From $0.3366 to $0.3331.

  • Canary Capital launched the first staked TRX ETF under ticker TRXS on Cboe. The product gives traditional investors spot exposure to TRX plus staking rewards reflected in net asset value. TRON DAO marked the milestone by ringing the Cboe closing bell in Chicago. It broadens institutional participation while the network maintains its core strengths in stablecoins and high-volume transfers.
  • USDT circulating on TRON has reached over 94 billion dollars and grown by about 5 billion in the past 90 days. The network processes the majority of global USDT transfer volume and leads in low-value stablecoin payments. Metrics include more than 405 million accounts, 15 billion total transactions, and consistent daily active users near 4 million. These figures reinforce TRON's infrastructure role for payments and settlements.
  • Zebec integrated support for the TRON network so users can top up Mastercard debit cards directly with TRC-20 USDT. Balances can then be spent at point-of-sale terminals and online merchants globally. This extends TRON stablecoin utility from on-chain transfers into everyday payments without bridging. It aligns with TRON's focus on payments infrastructure and real-world adoption.

24h change: +0.22%. From $0.3361 to $0.3368.

  • TRON DAO announced that the network surpassed $30 trillion in lifetime transaction volume. It has grown to more than 405 million accounts, over 15 billion transactions, and more than $28 billion in TVL. The chain leads in USDT transfer volume year to date at roughly $6 trillion while carrying the largest USDT supply of any blockchain. These metrics reinforce TRON's role as core infrastructure for stablecoin settlements, payments, and everyday digital dollar activity worldwide.
  • Nasdaq-listed Tron Inc. has purchased TRX every trading day for 252 consecutive days as of early October 2026. Its treasury now holds more than 716.8 million tokens through a structured daily program of roughly $50,000 worth of TRX. The consistent accumulation is part of an $18 million agreement and is publicly reported. This activity demonstrates corporate commitment to the TRON ecosystem and contributes steady demand for the token.
  • TRON released the mandatory GreatVoyage-v4.8.2.3 node upgrade known as Anaxagoras to improve smart contract handling, cryptographic performance, and JSON processing. The network discussed compliance, quantum readiness, and law enforcement collaboration at the INTERPOL New Technologies Forum with post-quantum signatures deployed on the Nile testnet. The Canary staked TRX ETF (TRXS) listing on Cboe and related events continue expanding regulated access. These steps strengthen network security, performance, and connections to traditional finance.

24h change: +0.31%. From $0.3347 to $0.3358.

  • Tron Inc. has now purchased TRX for 252 consecutive days under a structured dollar-cost averaging plan tied to an $18 million agreement. The company holds more than 716.8 million TRX in its treasury, up significantly since earlier this year.

It provides a visible example of corporate treasury strategy in cryptocurrency.
  • TRON DAO released GreatVoyage-v4.8.2.3, known as Anaxagoras, as a mandatory upgrade for all node operators.

  • The US Treasury's OFAC sanctioned seven TRON addresses linked to a Tren de Aragua ATM jackpotting scheme that allegedly stole millions from US banks. The addresses received roughly $6.1 million since 2022 and were used to launder proceeds. This action highlights compliance and illicit finance risks on public blockchains. It comes separately from TRON's high legitimate usage for stablecoin payments and transfers.
