TRON Expands Cross-Chain Presence with Solana Integration as TRX Holds at $0.23
TRON (TRX) is currently trading at around $0.23, showing minimal movement over the past 24 hours despite significant ecosystem developments. The cryptocurrency’s founder, Justin Sun, has officially announced that TRX is now available on the Solana blockchain, marking a major step in TRON’s interoperability strategy.
“TRX on SOL is right now! Every liquidity is ready!” Sun said on social media revealing the contract address (GbbesPbaYh5uiAZSYNXTc7w9jty1rpg3P9L4JeN4LkKc) for the Solana-based TRX coin. After his first teaser on March 18, which already set investors ablaze, TRX surged by almost 10% with trading volume rising 54% to over $991 million in a 24-hour period.
Strategic Expansion: Why TRX on Solana Matters
The integration of TRX onto the Solana blockchain represents a significant strategic move for TRON. This cross-chain expansion offers several potential benefits:
- Enhanced Liquidity: The integration enables TRX to be traded on Solana-native decentralized exchanges like Pump.fun, potentially increasing overall trading volume and market accessibility.
- Improved Interoperability: As a wrapped token on Solana, TRX can now participate in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, which is known for its high throughput and low transaction costs.
- Wider Adoption: The move exposes TRX to Solana’s growing user base, potentially attracting new investors and users to the TRON ecosystem.
The strategic importance of this development cannot be overstated. When TRX first launched, it was an Ethereum-based token before transitioning to its own blockchain in 2018. This latest move to expand to Solana indicates TRON’s commitment to cross-chain functionality and broader market reach.
TRON Ecosystem Expands with Collaborative Partnerships
Beyond the Solana integration, TRON has revealed a partnership with Pump.fun to run the launch of PumpSwap, a new native decentralized exchange meant to reinvent liquidity access and cross-chain interoperability.
Regarding the cooperation, Justin Sun said, “TRON remains dedicated to drive blockchain innovation and expanding accessibility across the Web3 ecosystem.” “The collaboration with pump.fun on PumpSwap enhances liquidity access and cross-chain interoperability, so reinforcing the more general goal of making distributed finance more seamless and inclusive for users worldwide.”
This cooperation seeks to drastically improve user experience by streamlining liquidity providing and thereby removing the necessity for token migration. Leveraging Layer Zero and Wormhole to enable cross-chain liquidity, the platform will also act as a link across ecosystems.
TRON Ecosystem Token APENFT Lists on Kraken
Another major move for the TRON ecosystem is the official listing of the APENFT token (NFT) on top worldwide compliant bitcoin exchange Kraken. Complementing a Reef Program airdrop incentive activity with a prize fund of up to $90,000 in NFT tokens, the listing introduces NFT/USD and NFT/EUR trading pairings.
Regarding compliance and internationalization, this list is a breakthrough for the TRON ecology. Since its launch in Singapore in March 2021, APENFT—whose current market value exceeds $430 million and has over 2.16 million holding addresses—has been positioned as a crucial token in the TRON ecosystem.
The Kraken listing is projected to greatly increase the market exposure of APENFT tokens, therefore turning them from “art tokens” in the TRON ecosystem into main assets in the worldwide digital collectibles market.
TRON ETF Speculation Expanding in Response to Institutional Change
Complementing the current advancements, rumors surround a possible Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) for TRON. Justin Sun has hinted at an approaching tsunami of ETFs, which would have people debating whether TRX would be next for a financial product meant for institutional investors.
After Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs were approved, several asset management companies—Blackrock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and Canary Capital—have submitted fresh ETF proposals. Sun’s comments could indicate TRON’s aspirations to join this controlled market niche, therefore exposing the ecosystem to major institutional attention.
TRX/USD Technical Analysis Shows Cautious Optimism
From a technical perspective, TRON TRX/USD recently found support around the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.21 before rallying following Sun’s initial announcement. The price is currently facing resistance at the weekly level of $0.24.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator recently flipped to a bullish crossover, giving buy signals and suggesting a potential bullish trend ahead. If TRX can break and close above its weekly resistance at $0.24, the rally could extend to test the next daily resistance level at $0.27.
However, traders should remain cautious as a failure to hold support around the 200-day EMA could result in a decline to retest December lows of around $0.20.
