As of this moment (March 22nd, 2018), TRON holds the 14th position on Coinmarketcap.com, with a market cap of nearly 2.5 billion USD. Hence there is no doubt about the amount of popularity this cryptocurrency was able to achieve since its introduction to the market a few months ago.

The main objective of this strategic collaboration is to offer the TRX holders a sui generis combination of blockchain and gaming platform that they can use to purchase in-game items safely. This partnership is also likely to provide the opportunity to regain the ownership in the virtual world of gaming.

If this collaboration lasts, it can make TRON’s position nearly unassailable in the world of entertainment and gaming.
- Partnership with Xu Le and Game.Com: On January 3rd, 2018, TRON’s founder Justin Sun first announced the news of this partnership on his personal Twitter account. Both of these gaming portals are dedicated to growing the overall gaming industry through the usage of various cryptocurrencies as a valid medium of transaction and payment. As a result, the blockchain technology of TRON and its cryptocurrency TRX have been extremely compatible to both of these platforms. Because of this partnership, the utility of TRX among gamers has increased considerably.

Google followed the same path as well for similar reasons. TRON’s development was based on providing an alternative solution for popular websites like this. With an efficient technical team behind its development, TRON is likely to combine three essential entities such as a commercial transaction, distribution, and social sharing for its users all around the globe. As for the recent security concerns, TRON’s platform has proven to be impregnable for hackers unlike other cryptocurrencies in the market. Although it is impossible to foresee the future of any digital currency because of the market volatility, from the above factors, it can be concluded that TRON has certainly the potential to become a David against the Goliaths like Facebook or Twitter.
