TRON Soar Amidst Market Turmoil
In a recent analysis of CryptoQuant, it was found that TRX has been able to hold on to its user base due to the variety of services it provides. This development is crucial amidst a broader market downturn. The network’s resilience is attributed to the various use cases it offers to users such as payment, stablecoins, and real-world assets integration. As reported by TronWeekly, these features draw users and help to retain them even in times of other networks’ crises in user engagement.
Trondao has exhibited a resilient user base as active users have grown since the start of the year and maintained near-all-time high levels despite market uncertainty and sell pressure across the broader crypto market. I argue that the unique applications across the TRX ecosystem such as payments, stablecoins, and real-world assets have allowed the network to retain and grow its user base as other networks have struggled to find their footing.
