What is Tron?

Why investors buy Tron: Tron is a blockchain-based platform that aims to revolutionise the entertainment and content-sharing industry. TRX (TRONIX) is the native token, or cryptocurrency of the TRON blockchain. It’s like the “money” within the TRON ecosystem. People use TRX for transactions and various applications on the chain. Think of it as the fuel that powers TRON.

Founded by the ambitious and sometimes controversial entrepreneur Justin Sun, Tron seeks to create a decentralised ecosystem where creators, developers, and users can interact without intermediaries.

At the time of writing (08 April 2024), Tron is the 11th most-popular crypto in the world by market capitalisation.

What is Tron?

TRON is a blockchain platform, like Ethereum, that can run smart contracts. It can also be used for building dApps (decentralised apps, which are apps built on the blockchain rather than on the internet).

It works so much like the Ethereum network that it has become a competitor. In fact, TRX started as a token that was built on Ethereum. But then, it switched to its own blockchain.

Tron and stablecoins

While Tron was started for a different use case, it has taken off on another plane of existence. Tron has reportedly become the most heavily-used blockchain for stablecoin activity.

Tron now serves as a global network for settling offshore dollars. With over half of all USDT supply sitting on Tron and significant transactional activity, perhaps Tron is now THE global settlement network.

Recently, Tron’s transaction volume surpassed Ethereum, making it the chain with the greatest volume of stablecoin transfers. It now settles around $70 billion of weekly on-chain stablecoin volume.

This widespread distribution and usage of USDT on Tron indicate Tron’s significance in the crypto landscape.

SEC skirmishes

Sun along with Tron has had skirmishes with US’s Securities and Exchange Commission. However, that isn’t unusual within the crypto industry in the U.S.

Publicity stunts

Sun has made some rather “extra” publicity stunts, including paying a stupendous amount of money for a building-sized photo of his face. The ad had a very small connection to the Tron network.

In another promo, Tron users get a chance to win a trip to space. Like, legitimately, he bought tickets on Jeff Bezos’ spaceship.

His Excellency

Sun has been known to use the title “His Excellency”. Here there is an interesting backstory.

In December 2021, the Granada Government appointed Justin Sun as its ambassador and permanent trade representative to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

Unfortunately, the political landscape changed soon after, and the political party that appointed him lost the general election. All ambassadors were recalled, including Sun.

Despite this, he continued to assert his diplomatic status. He still uses “His Excellency” on his social media handles. While some continue to address him as “His Excellency,” others recognise that his diplomatic status was short-lived.

Regardless, the Tron Community still refers to him as an “ambassador for the blockchain”.

Specific risks associated with DeFi tokens Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology. DeFi tokens carry the following risks:Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens. Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralised manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols. Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

Specific risks associated with meme coins: 'Meme coins' (e.g. DOGE, SHIB, PEPE) are crypto-assets whose value is driven primarily by community interest and online trends. Meme coins carry the following risks: • Volatility risk: Meme coins can have extreme price volatility, often experiencing rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations within short periods. The value of meme coins can be influenced by social media trends, celebrity endorsements, and other factors unrelated to traditional investment fundamentals. • Lack of utility: Meme coins often lack intrinsic value or utility, being primarily driven by community interest, online trends, and speculative trading. • Market manipulation: Meme coins may be susceptible to increased risk of market manipulation including 'pump-and-dump' schemes, where the price is artificially inflated followed by a sudden crash. • Lack of transparency: Meme coins may have limited available information about their development teams, goals, and financials. This lack of transparency can make it challenging to assess the credibility and potential of a meme coin accurately. • Emotional investing: Meme coins often garner strong emotional reactions from investors, leading to impulsive decisions. Emotional trading activity can amplify losses.

Specific risks associated with stablecoins: There is a risk that any particular stablecoin may not hold their value as against any fiat currency; or may not hold their value as against any other asset. Stablecoins carry the following risks: · Depegging events: Depegging events may occur with stablecoins that fail to maintain adequate controls and risk mitigants. A depegging event is when the value of the stablecoin no longer matches the value of the underlying asset. This could result in a loss of some or all of your investment. • Counterparty risk: Counterparty risk arises when an asset is backed by collateral, involving a third party maintaining the collateral, which introduces risk if the party becomes insolvent or fails to maintain it. • Redemption risk: Redemption risk refers to the possibility that an asset's ability to be redeemed for underlying collateral may not be as anticipated during market fluctuations or operational issues. • Collateral risk: Collateral risk refers to the possibility of the collateral's value declining or becoming volatile, potentially impacting the asset's stability, particularly when it is another crypto-asset. • Exchange rate fluctuations: Stablecoins, often denominated in US Dollars, expose investors to fluctuations in the USD:GBP exchange rate. • Algorithmic risk: Algorithm risk refers to the possibility of an asset's stability being compromised due to unexpected failure or behaviour of the underlying algorithm, potentially leading to loss of value.
