Tron (TRX) Outshines U.S.-Linked Cryptocurrencies Amid Market Volatility

As U.S.-focused cryptocurrencies face significant declines in Trump’s first 100 days, TRON (TRX) and other global digital assets demonstrate resilience, maintaining stability in a turbulent market.

U.S.-Linked Cryptocurrencies Underperform in Trump’s First 100 Days

Domestically-focused digital assets have struggled during the initial phase of the Trump administration, with all five leading ’Made in USA’ coins declining at least 20% since inauguration day. Solana (SOL) leads the downturn, plunging over 41% despite recent short-term recoveries.

Meanwhile, global cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and TRON (TRX) have demonstrated stronger resilience, maintaining relative stability even as major altcoins including Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced significant declines. The divergence suggests broader policy pressures—potentially including trade tariffs—may be outweighing domestic regulatory improvements for crypto.

The underperformance comes as a surprise to market participants who anticipated more favorable conditions for digital assets under the current administration. Market analysts note the trend highlights the growing complexity of cryptocurrency valuation drivers in an era of geopolitical uncertainty.
