Tron (TRX): Network is growing, course is stagnating



 The cryptocurrency Tron (TRX) cannot set new standards, at least in terms of price. Nevertheless, the network and the associated cryptocurrency TRX enjoy great popularity.

Numbers of 2018 not yet reached after a drop of 97 percent

With a price of around 0.09 US dollars and a resulting market capitalization of almost 9.2 billion US dollars, Tron (TRX) is currently 22nd among the most valuable cryptocurrencies. Like Ripple's XRP, the cryptocurrency designed by Justin Sun is one of the few cryptocurrencies among the top 25 that were unable to set a new all-time high in this year's bullrun. At TRX, this dates from January 5, 2018, when a price of 0.30 US dollars was quoted.

Subsequently, it continued to decline in value through March 2020 and even fell to below $ 0.01. This corresponds to a price drop of around 97 percent. In fact, TRX is not alone - numerous cryptocurrencies lost between 90 and 99 percent of their value after an unbelievable bull run in 2017/2018 - Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), or Litecoin (LTC) were also among them.

Nevertheless, some investors are disappointed that TRX has not yet come close to the level of then, while many other cryptocurrencies such as ADA or LTC were at least able to set new maxima. TRX didn't get more than $ 0.18 in 2021.

Easily rearing up on Binance?

Nevertheless, TRX currently seems to be able to look back on a solid basis, as Tron has recently been a little less volatile compared to other cryptocurrencies. The crypto market is currently struggling with at least a short-term bearish phase. Bitcoin, for example, has lost around 30 percent of its value since reaching its all-time high of $ 69,000 on November 10, 2021, and is now trading at just $ 48,700. One analyst is now even speaking of a further price drop to $ 31,000 .

As the latest data shows, Tron was the third most-purchased cryptocurrency on the Binance Smart Chain on December 10, ahead of EthereumSo the interest in TRX still seems to be there.

More and more accounts

Even if TRX did not come up to the level of 2018 in terms of course technology in 2021, the increasing number of users is also to be assessed positively. The number of total accounts at Tron in the last 24 hours has increased by around 188,000. According to Tronscan, there are now more than 66.2 million accounts. After all, 2 million accounts were last active.

In the USA, the focus was recently on TRX alongside ADA, as the online broker eToro will remove both coins from the platform on December 26, 2021. Since eToro also offered staking for both coins, there could be a noticeable shift here soon. However, the decision does not apply to other countries, so that many users can continue to keep Cardano and Tron on the platform.

Tron is to be understood as an alternative to Ethereum and also enables smart contracts. In the DeFi sector in particular, the Tron network seems to be establishing itself, as the value of the coins used has already reached almost eleven billion dollars.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
