What happened to Tron (TRX), why no rally after MainNet launch?

Published

Tron TRX rally

It has been a long way coming for the 10th substantial digital asset by market capitalization, but finally, Tron successfully launched its main net on 31 May. What this mainstream launch means is Tron’s blockchain will no longer be dependent on Ethereum’s block. TRX was one of the ERC20 digital tokens before, but now it is an independent digital coin existing on its blockchain, marking the beginning of Tron’s independence from Ethereum and the decentralization of the web.

This means TRX tokens which has become a darling to many, will be converted to the MainNet currency in the coming days by a majority of the cryptocurrency exchanges in the market. However, users are required to fulfill a few steps in ensuring the transition takes place. Users have a deadline of June 25 to comply with the new features.

The May 31 MainNet launch was a unanimous decision to leave Ethereum’s in-fighting about community governance as well as “high gas tariffs and archaic gas burn mechanism,” according to a press release by Tron Foundation.

Investors to Wait Longer for Rally

However, amidst the excitement and buzz that accompanied the launch of Tron’s Odyssey 2.0, there are fears that Tron’s prices might further soar following a drop of over 9.7% in the last seven days. Today, Tron’s price is at $0.059 while it was at $0.073 on May 26. Additionally, TRX is one of the few top 10 virtual currencies that are depreciating in what is an otherwise pool of green.

Experts are blaming the surge to what they regard as brilliant marketing by the Tron team that managed to heighten expectation, confidence, and awareness of the token.

But now that the hype is subsiding, Tron needs to actualize real results and meet the high expectation or else it will disappear from the cryptocurrency radar faster than it appeared on it. On the other hand, long-term investors are ignoring the recent shortcomings and are focusing on the long-term prospects.

What Next for Tron?

Actions that are expected have a positive effect on Tron after launching Odyssey 2.0 include:

The Inclusion of More dApps on Tron

Tron (TRX) seems to be aligning itself at a vantage point to capture Ethereum’s customer base as lack of scalability and transaction costs continue to trouble the investor of smart contracts.

Odyssey 2.0, Tron’s new main net, increases the overall throughput of the platform to over 1000 TPS while charging little or no cost for transactions.

If you compare the two, you will see that Tron solves Ethereum’s <25TPS issue and high transaction rate challenge by offering a better platform to build and develop decentralized applications.

Trading Volumes to Increase

Even though daily TRX volumes being traded are yet to match the highs of the over $3.8 billion worth of Tron that were traded on a single day early this year, the current volume of about $700 million is predicted to pass the billion-dollar mark as the new Main Net settles down.

Election of Super Representatives

Super Representatives are argued to play a role in stabilizing and improving the value of TRX by representing the will of contributors to the project and providing the much-awaited governance of the project.

All in all, not just the above-mentioned factors will bring in Tron’s rally shortly, the project has put together a number of things in a ‘right’ way – so it will only go up. The enormous investment Tron has received cannot make it die easily. Prices are expected to appreciate within the month with an all-time high expected to take place at the end of June.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
