TRON (TRX) Surges to New All-Time High, Becomes 10th Largest Crypto by Market Cap
TRON (TRX) has seen a remarkable price surge, reaching a new all-time high of $0.41, marking its highest price level in nearly seven years, according to TradingView data. This significant milestone comes after an impressive 81% price leap over the past 24 hours, propelling TRX to become the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The previous price peak for TRX was recorded at $0.23 on Jan. 4, 2018. The recent price surge for TRX coincides with a period of choppy movement for Bitcoin (BTC), which has been struggling to attract buying pressure amidst long-term holders realizing profits. At the time of writing, BTC has seen a slight 0.8% decline, trading at $95,487.17.
Ethereum (ETH) is also facing a minor correction of 1.1%, with a price of $3,582.62. Historically, ETH price rallies have often catalyzed positive performances for other altcoins during bullish cycles, which may have contributed to TRX reaching its new all-time high before any significant movements in ETH’s market.
Over the past month, TRX has surged by an impressive 164%, although the exact catalyst behind this price increase remains unclear. TRON’s network is well-known for its significant usage of stablecoins, particularly in relation to Tether USD (USDT) transfers.
Recent data from Artemis reveals that TRON has seen stablecoin transfer volumes reaching $24.3 billion in the last 30 days, second only to Ethereum’s $35 billion. Moreover, the total stablecoin supply within the TRON network stands at $59.6 billion, making it the second-largest in the industry.
TRON was founded by Justin Sun in late 2017 during the ICO boom that characterized the preceding bull market. Positioned as an “Ethereum killer,” TRON was designed as a blockchain platform offering faster transaction speeds and lower fees for smart contracts compared to Ethereum.
The impressive price surge for TRX underscores the network’s growing prominence within the cryptocurrency space, solidifying its position as a major player in the market. Investors and enthusiasts will undoubtedly be closely monitoring TRON’s future performance as it continues to break new ground in the digital asset landscape.
