Is 2026 going to be better? The Justin Sun Crypto crew seems to think so.
Does anyone else feel like time broke somewhere, and we just kept pretending it didn’t? Like there was a before and now there’s just this long aftertaste of something dying?

Is Crypto REALLY dead? Not According to The Justin Sun Crypto Team
Tron had no business being this calm in 2025 with all the Justin Sun shenanigans. And yet here we are.
TRX is up roughly 12% year-to-date, a small miracle in a market where
Bitcoin
0.92%
is down about 6% and
Ethereum
0.91%
is off more than 11%.
At around $27 Bn in marketcap, Tron has become a large, liquid network that simply refused to panic when everyone else did.

TRX topped near $0.36 in August, retraced with the broader market, and stabilized near the $0.28-$0.29 zone.
CoinGecko data shows TRX volatility compressing through the second half of 2025, defying broader market volatility. DeFi Llama shows stablecoin volume holding steady and $4.413 Bn locked into Tron DeFi protocols.

Will Any Of This Matter Heading Into 2026? Should You Buy Tron?
One of the more underappreciated catalysts was Tron’s US public market footprint. The reverse merger that created Tron Inc. gave TRX a stock that is up triple digits this year, even after recent volatility.
Sun also leaned into visibility. His proximity to Trump-aligned crypto initiatives and participation in politically charged Web3 projects mattered for pumping TRX.

TA for Tron matches the fundamentals. Long-term moving averages are creeping higher, pullbacks are shallow at the moment, and sell pressure keeps fading.
Tron didn’t “win” by ripping faces off. It won by staying upright while everything else in crypto cracked and had an extremely volatile year.
