Justin Sun’s TRON Fee Overhaul Sparks Rally as TRX Soars

TRON founder Justin Sun announces major network fee adjustments—timed perfectly with TRX's bullish momentum.

Strategic Fee Shakeup

Sun's proposal targets transaction cost optimization across the TRON ecosystem. The move comes as TRX defies market trends with sustained upward price action.

Market Timing Mastery

The announcement leverages TRX's current market performance—because nothing boosts adoption like making moves when your native token's already pumping. Classic crypto economics: announce features during green candles, implement during corrections.

Network Economics Reimagined

Expect reduced barriers for dApp developers and users—though let's be real, most traders won't notice fee changes until they're calculating tax liabilities.

Sun continues proving that in crypto, the best protocol upgrades often coincide with favorable chart patterns. Because apparently blockchain governance runs on technical analysis now.

Tron is making major moves to maintain its position in the crypto space. From lowering fees to keep transactions affordable to leading in stablecoins and attracting big investors, the network is showing real momentum.

Let’s take a closer look at how these moves are shaping its growth and appeal.

Rising TRX Prices Trigger Fee Adjustments 

Justin Sun, Tron’s founder, recently highlighted that rising TRX prices during the bull market are driving up transaction fees. The TRON Super Representatives are closely monitoring the situation, and Tron will adjust its network fees.

The Tron Super Representatives are fully aware that as the TRX price rises during the bull market, network transaction fees are steadily increasing. The Tron community will adjust the network fees based on actual conditions to ensure the Tron network remains competitive.

The goal is to keep the blockchain efficient and competitive and ensure that transactions remain affordable for users. 

This is not the first time he has flagged the issue. Back in July, when TRX crossed $0.30, Sun urged the community to lower gas fees by either reducing the energy unit price, increasing the energy cap, or encouraging energy staking.

His latest comments show tron remains focused on keeping transactions affordable.

TRON Outperforms Major Altcoins

Tron is also showing resilience in the market. According to CryptoQuant analysts, TRX/BTC has been outperforming other top altcoins such as ETH, XRP, and SOL.

• TRX/BTC: +2.66% (past week)
• ETH/BTC: Flat
• XRP/BTC: Down
• SOL/BTC: +0.85%

Tron is currently trading at $0.3518, up 0.7%  in the last 24 hours.

Institutional Activity on the Rise

Big money is flowing into Tron. Since 2022, transfers of $100,000 or more make up 61% of all USDT volume, while small transactions under $1,000 account for just 2%. 

This shows Tron’s growing pull among institutional players.

Stablecoin Leadership Secured

Tron also wasted no time capitalizing on new U.S. stablecoin regulations. After the GENIUS Act passed on July 18, 2025, Tron quickly minted $1B in USDT, bringing its total to over $83B. Tron now hosts roughly 51% of all USDT, securing its lead in stablecoin infrastructure.

Kraken and Backed Finance also announced expanding their xStocks tokenized stock offering to the Tron blockchain as real-world asset (RWA) tokenization gains momentum.
