- Tron has sustained it’s massive transaction volume for the third consecutive month amid strong adoption.
- There are hints RLUSD may launch on Tron Network soon, creating upside for TRX.
Justin Sun’s TRON (TRX) blockchain has achieved a new milestone, recording the highest monthly transactions for three consecutive months. This achievement comes despite declining prices for the native digital asset, TRX, demonstrating the blockchain’s resilience amid challenges.
Tron Surpasses Rivals in Transaction Volume
Tron outperformed competition in October, November, and December, with monthly transaction volumes of 182 million, 167 million, and 135 million, respectively. Market analysts claim this growth results from consumers shifting to Tron’s network as activity on other platforms, especially in the gaming industry, declines.
Onchain data analytics platform CryptoQuant said the monthly transaction data show Tron’s growing acceptance across the crypto space.
In particular, USDT stablecoin transactions are gaining fast momentum on the Tron network. CNF reported in November that TRON supports 92% of all USDT transactions, confirming its leadership in stablecoin remittances.
Tron’s supremacy in stablecoin payments is largely attributed to the network’s capacity to provide quick, reasonably priced, effective transaction processing. The qualities make Tron enticing for users who value speed when making worldwide payments.
Although Tron has recorded the highest monthly transactions, TRX continues to struggle as its price declines amid the market’s negative twist. In just two weeks, the price of TRX dropped from a high of around $0.45 to a low of around $0.24.
Currently, TRX trades at $0.23, demonstrating a 9.29% decline in the last 24 hours. However, the 24-hour trading volume increased by 14.4%, suggesting investors sustained interest.
CryptoQuant analyst CrazzyBlockk said the spike in transaction count, despite the bearish price sentiment, signals the protocol’s potential as a leading platform.
Still, Tron’s technical analysis shows a prevailing bearish market sentiment. For instance, the Stochastic momentum indicators signal increased selling pressure. Additionally, the Relative Volume Growth Indicator (RVGI) approaches a bearish crossover, strengthening the downtrend position.
Investor Behaviour on Exchanges
Furthermore, Tron shows a troubling trend on major crypto exchanges. These exchange platforms pointed out that Tron customers are withdrawing less funds compared to the huge inflows coming in. This trend signals investor caution, with a greater likelihood of future sell-offs.
Meanwhile, data from IntoTheBlock shows that large investors, or whales, are removing huge amounts from the TRX ecosystem. Notably, these investors withdrew about 168.55 million TRX, capitalizing on market instability to make money.
While the number of transactions remains healthy, this ongoing trend poses issues for TRX. The present sentiment indicates that TRX may suffer additional price issues, particularly if macroeconomic conditions stay unfavorable for cryptocurrencies.
However, the coin might potentially return to the $0.304 resistance level, depending on its ability to maintain user engagement and transaction growth. Intriguingly, Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, recently hinted in a CNF report at the possibility of Ripple‘s RLUSD landing on the network.
This potential integration could mark a monumental partnership that could permanently seal the protocol‘s crown as the leading network for stablecoin dominance. It could also attract more retail and institutional interest in Tron, leading to rising prices.
