TRON’s First DEX Goes Live on TronScan

Published

on

TronScan

The eleventh largest cryptocurrency by market cap, TRON (TRX), has recently announced plans to launch a decentralized exchange (DEX) on TronScan. According to the new announcement posted by TRON’s CEO, Justin Sun, the team kept its word, and TRON’s first DEX is now live.

The need for decentralized exchanges

TRON’s goal to decentralize the web has caused this project and the team behind it to make multiple large moves, most of which were in 2018. The project already launched a MainNet, transferred all of its tokens, entered numerous partnerships, and has also announced big plans for the future.

However, while TRON managed to remain decentralized, the same cannot be said for most cryptocurrency exchanges. In fact, the centralization of exchanges goes against everything that cryptocurrencies stand for. In the past, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology were still new and underdeveloped. The need for exchanges appeared, and centralized institutions took over.

In recent years, however, this technology matured enough for decentralized exchanges to start appearing. While still flawed, many investors decided to support them, in hope of reaching true decentralization. Now, TRON joined this move by launching its own DEX.

Tron’s first DEX

Thanks to projects such as several dApps that have already grown popular, as well as TRON’s new DEX, TRX has seen quite an increase in daily trading volume. In fact, it is now rare for this currency to have a volume lower than $100 million per day. It even managed to break the record previously held by Ethereum.

Many have taken this as proof that TRON’s DEX is already quite busy, especially considering that the exchange is currently offering 10 different tokens, all of which are paired with TRX. These include:

  1. dice/TRX
  2. ton/TRX
  3. IGG/TRX
  4. WIN/TRX
  5. CryptoDivaFund/TRX
  6. TWX/TRX
  7. TronWatchMarket/TRX
  8. SEDD/TRX
  9. CryptoGuyInZA/TRX
  10. CryptoChain/TRX

The exchange has attracted a lot of attention, and supporters of the listed tokens have taken to trading on TRON’s platform as well. In the meanwhile, Sun has invited the TRX community to come up with additional tokens and projects for the purpose of expanding the TRON ecosystem further.

At the time of writing, cryptocurrencies (TRON included) are experiencing another severe drop that has interrupted the recent period of recovery. Because of this, TRON price has dropped significantly, and the coin has experienced a 14.49% fall in the last 24 hours. It is currently priced at $0.018284, although many believe that this is a short-term incident and that the price will soon grow back up.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

on

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
