Tron has captured renewed attention following a major development: its planned 
entry into public markets. Justin Sun, Tron&#8217;s founder, has reached a deal with 
Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment (SRM.O), under which SRM will acquire Tron- 
related tokens, rebrand as Tron Inc., and appoint Sun as an adviser. This move 
marks a significant step in bridging the gap between blockchain projects and 
traditional finance, potentially making Tron one of the first major public 
blockchain entities. Related Reading: Ethereum Golden Cross Approaching – Will 
History Repeat? Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East 
have sparked volatility across the broader crypto market, including Tron. 
Despite this uncertain macro environment, Tron’s on-chain fundamentals remain 
strong. Top analyst Darkfost shared data showing that Tron’s daily transaction 
volume has surged from 2.5 million in 2021 to over 9 million today. This 
exponential growth underscores a sharp rise in user activity and developer 
engagement across the network. The sustained increase in transaction volume 
also reflects growing confidence in Tron’s infrastructure as a scalable and 
reliable alternative to other high-throughput blockchains. With both 
institutional exposure via SRM and strong on-chain growth, Tron finds itself 
at a pivotal moment in its evolution—one that could reshape its trajectory in 
the months ahead. Tron Retraces After Public Listing Surge: Network 
Fundamentals Remain Strong Tron is currently trading around key demand levels 
after a sharp retrace from Monday’s breakout rally. The surge—triggered by the 
announcement that Tron would go public via a deal with Nasdaq-listed SRM 
Entertainment—briefly sent TRX up over 9%, generating widespread attention. 
However, escalating tensions between Israel and Iran have weighed on market 
sentiment, dragging the price back to pre-announcement levels. Despite short- 
term volatility, Tron’s fundamentals continue to paint a bullish picture. 
According to Darkfost, the Tron blockchain has demonstrated strong and 
consistent growth since 2021. Daily transaction volumes have risen from 2.5 
million to over 9 million, reflecting increasing adoption and sustained demand 
for its infrastructure. This activity surge signals heightened investor 
interest and developer confidence in the network. Yet, high volume alone 
doesn’t guarantee quality. What sets Tron apart is its impressive transaction 
success rate, which has remained above 96% throughout this growth phase. This 
reliability counters criticisms often aimed at other high-throughput chains 
like Solana, where failed or spammy transactions can inflate metrics. 
Additionally, Tron’s block production has remained stable and linear, 
showcasing its operational consistency. Even amid rising global transaction 
fees, Tron continues to attract usage, suggesting that users still view it as 
a cost-effective, scalable solution. This blend of high performance, strong 
demand, and network resilience positions Tron as one of the most technically 
mature blockchains in the current market cycle. If macro conditions stabilize, 
Tron’s public listing and robust on-chain metrics could reignite bullish 
momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Strong Despite Israel-Iran Tensions – 
Weekly Resistance Begins To Crack TRX Price Analysis: Key Support Levels Hold 
Tron (TRX) is currently trading at approximately $0.273, consolidating just 
above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which sits around $0.268. After 
a sharp spike on Monday that pushed the price toward $0.30 following the 
announcement of Tron going public, the price retraced back to pre-announcement 
levels amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite this 
pullback, TRX remains in a bullish structure on the daily chart. The 100-day 
and 200-day SMAs, currently around $0.252 and $0.253, respectively, continue 
to trend upward and act as solid dynamic support, confirming that the medium- 
to long-term trend remains intact. Volume surged on the breakout but has since 
cooled, which is expected during periods of consolidation. Technically, TRX is 
forming a higher low structure while staying within a broader uptrend that 
began in late March. As long as the price holds above the $0.268 support 
level, bulls may attempt another push toward $0.285 and potentially retest the 
recent high near $0.30. Related Reading: Ethereum Consolidation Continues – 
Altseason May Follow A Clean Break Above Resistance A break below $0.268 could 
invalidate the bullish momentum and trigger a move toward the $0.252–$0.255 
zone. For now, price action remains constructive as TRX holds above all major 
moving averages and key structural support. Featured image from Dall-E, chart
