I recently looked into TRX’s performance, and it’s pretty interesting. Since the beginning of this year, it has risen by over 33%, while the entire crypto market has fallen by 22%, and the difference is definitely quite significant. TRX’s USD price is now around $0.33, and its circulating market cap has reached 311 billion.
Thinking it through carefully, the main reason TRX can hold up during downturns is that it has real-world utility. On the Tron network, the transfer volume of USDT is extremely large. When the market gets volatile, many traders shift toward stablecoins, which directly drives demand for TRX. On top of that, Tron burns a portion of TRX every day to pay for transaction fees, so the circulating supply keeps shrinking—this provides fairly clear support for TRX’s price.
Another interesting point is that TRX’s volatility is indeed much lower than that of many other coins. A large amount of TRX is locked up in staking, so there aren’t many tokens freely tradable on the market. That’s also why TRX tends to be more resilient when there’s a big drop. If you add some relatively stable assets like TRX to your investment portfolio, the overall risk will definitely be reduced quite a lot.
