- Tron’s DEX volume surged 174% to $3.04B, while active addresses hit 87.7M.
- Halliday integration cut onboarding time to under a minute, boosting accessibility.
- TRX price remains near $0.29 — strong fundamentals, but still waiting for momentum.
Tron (TRX) wrapped up October on a pretty strong note, showing solid network expansion across nearly every metric. DEX volume exploded by 174%, hitting $3.04 billion, while perpetual trading volume nudged up 3.47% to $2.44 billion. Even better, active addresses climbed to a whopping 87.7 million, and transactions crossed 304 million — a 9% jump month-over-month. In a month where most crypto networks stayed flat, Tron clearly stood out.
Breaking Down the Surge
October was one of Tron’s busiest months in recent memory. On-chain data shows growth not just in one area, but across the board — usage, transactions, and liquidity. That kind of broad expansion often hints at real adoption rather than speculative pumps.
The real kicker though, was the Halliday integration. This update basically slashed Tron’s onboarding time from half an hour to under 60 seconds. Before, users had to jump through hoops — swapping across bridges, using multiple onramps, waiting for confirmations. Now, it’s smooth, fast, and nearly Web2-level simple.
Halliday’s CEO, Griffin Dunaif, put it best: “Crypto payments should match Web2’s speed, refinement, and simplicity. We’re excited to bring that experience to Tron.” And honestly, that’s exactly the kind of message retail investors love hearing — smoother access means more users, which usually means more volume.
More Than Just Growth — Compliance and Utility
It’s not all just technical progress either. Tron has also been making moves on the regulatory and security front. As part of the T3 Financial Crime Unit, a joint initiative with Tether (USDT) and TRM Labs, Tron helped freeze $300 million in illicit crypto across 23 jurisdictions. That’s a big statement — it shows the network is serious about transparency and compliance, something institutions are paying more attention to lately.
The Price Side — Still Waiting for a Spark
Now, here’s the strange part: despite all that activity, TRX’s price hasn’t really reacted yet. As of now, it’s trading near $0.29, still trapped inside a narrow range. The daily RSI sits close to oversold but hasn’t shown a proper reversal signal yet, and the OBV (On-Balance Volume) has been slipping too — suggesting buyers haven’t stepped in with conviction.
If bulls want to reclaim control, they’ll need to push price above recent lower highs and sustain volume to confirm it. Until then, this looks more like quiet consolidation than a breakout setup. But with such strong fundamentals and ecosystem growth, many analysts think it’s only a matter of time before TRX catches up to the network’s performance.
