TRON experienced significant growth in Q2 2024, showcasing positive trends across various key metrics, according to a recent report by Messari. Despite a slight decrease in revenue, the platform continued to strengthen its market presence and technological infrastructure.
Key Performance Metrics Demonstrate TRON’s Expanding Influence
TRON experienced significant growth in various aspects in the second quarter of 2024. The number of daily transactions increased by 29%, and the number of daily active addresses increased by 31%. The stablecoin market cap on TRON grew by 9%, with USDT on the network reaching $57.1 billion, a 10% rise from the previous quarter.
The market capitalization of TRX in circulation also posted positive growth, marking six consecutive quarters of QoQ gains. At the close of Q2, TRX market capitalization stood at $10.9 billion, slightly up from $10.8 billion.
This growth allowed TRX to rise from the 14th to the 10th position among all large-cap cryptocurrencies, excluding stablecoins. Year-to-date, TRX’s market cap is up 14%, aided by its deflationary nature, contributing to a price increase alongside the circulating market cap.
TRON’s Q2 revenue was $117. 5 million, which is 8% less than in Q1. Nevertheless, this still ranked TRON as the third highest in terms of revenue generation for smart contract platforms, behind Ethereum and Solana.TRX revenue also declined by 5% QoQ to 1.0 billion TRX. However, TRON still had a robust staking system, with the total value of staked assets growing by 3% QoQ to $5. 8 billion and taking eighth place among all the networks concerning staked funds.
The circulating supply of TRX was reduced from 88.2 billion to 87.7 billion in Q2 alone, giving an annual inflation rate of -2.4%. This deflationary pressure comes from the TRX being utilized to pay transaction fees and as a reward for stakers and block producers.
On-Chain Activity Surges with Rising Transactions and Active Addresses
Also, the On-chain activity of TRON spiked in Q2. The number of daily transactions rose from 4.8 million to 6.3 million, while the number of daily active addresses rose from 1.5 million to 2.8 million. Wallet transfers and stablecoin transactions continued to dominate the network, making up more than 78% of all transactions. Wallet transfers alone increased quarter over quarter by 46% to 2.8 million; stablecoin transfers also increased by 12% quarter over quarter to 2.0 million.
According to data from IntoTheBlock, the current daily average now stands at over 2.42 million addresses, up from 1.59 million on January 1st. TRX, the network’s native cryptocurrency, has risen 3.35% to $0.122 over the last 24 hours, with a daily trading volume of $589 million.
As featured in our recent coverage, Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, has called on the People’s Republic of China to reconsider its ban on cryptocurrency. These remarks are made in light of the increasing use of crypto assets in the US presidential election campaigns. Sun notes that China might gain from expanding its stance on cryptocurrency in a manner similar to the US.
