  • TRX has skyrocketed over 12,000% since its early days as an Ethereum-based token.
  • The altcoin recently traded around $0.2560 after bouncing from a daily low of $0.2467.
  • A $5,000 investment in TRX at launch would now be worth over $624K.

The crypto world’s seen just about everything—daily floods of new tokens, wild gains, dramatic collapses, and yeah, more scams than anyone can count. But every now and then, something sticks. Something builds. One of those rare survivors? Tron’s very own TRX.

FUN FACT: A $5,000 investment in $TRX (@trondao) at its 2017 launch would be worth over $624,000 today, a +12,380% return 👀 pic.twitter.com/FqYN0r9syd

Launched back in September 2017 by Justin Sun and the TRON Foundation, TRX kicked off its journey as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. But it didn’t stay there long—by June 25, 2018, it broke away and launched its own blockchain. The date’s now known among its loyal holders as Independence Day. Fitting.

TRX’s Growth: A Wild Ride Through the Years

From humble beginnings to headline numbers, TRX has come a long way. When it first launched, it was barely trading above half a cent—$0.00205, to be exact. Fast forward to December 2024, and the coin peaked at $0.4407. That’s a 12,382% jump. No, that’s not a typo.

At the time of writing, TRX is going for $0.2560, which is about 42% down from its all-time high but still holding strong. In just the last 24 hours, it’s seen a 3.48% bump—bouncing from $0.2467 to $0.2588. In a market full of red candles, TRX stood out today.

What If You Dropped $5K on TRX Back Then?

Here’s the fun part. If you had tossed $5,000 into TRX when it was trading at $0.00205? You’d be sitting on roughly $624,390 today. That’s a mind-bending 12,388% return. Not bad for a project folks weren’t too sure about in the early days.

While not every coin survives the storm, TRX seems to have found its groove. It’s one of those rare projects that didn’t just promise a revolution—it’s still here, building. And who knows? This might just be the halfway point.
