TRON (TRX)

techbullion.com reports that MetaMask has added native support for the Tron network across its mobile apps and browser extensions. This integration allows users to swap assets across Tron, Solana, and EVM-compatible networks while sending, staking, or managing assets directly within the wallet. Tron DAO, which operates a fully decentralized blockchain with smart contracts since 2021, uses a bandwidth point system where 600 points represent 600 bytes of data.
Users acquire more points by staking TRX, which the source notes is no longer considered a highly volatile asset given its rising valuation. The Tron Foundation remains active by sponsoring events like HackaTron and collaborating with super representatives such as Google Cloud. The blockchain utilizes a three-layer architecture and the TRON Virtual Machine to connect developers globally.
Tron serves as the official blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica and supports a DeFi ecosystem for transparent finance. The project also promotes sustainability through the Tron Climate Initiative Pledge, encouraging renewable energy usage. Despite a small community size compared to other networks, the team continues to add decentralized applications to its portfolio.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRX, measured when this story was written up on 17 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for TRX shows a price of $0.3356 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 55.1%, indicating that buyers controlled the majority of volume over the last day. However, shorter-term pressure has shifted, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 41.0% and the 4-hour ratio falling to 33.8%. This decline in short-term buying suggests that immediate momentum is fading compared to the stronger daily trend. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing a net outflow of $213,423 in the last hour and $943,271 over four hours, contrasting with a net inflow of $2,871,816 over 24 hours. The cumulative volume delta for the day closed at -$921,216, meaning sellers absorbed more volume than buyers by the end of the period. Despite the negative delta, spot volume remained robust at $28,338,668 with 60,944 trades, showing active participation despite the net selling pressure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.7% sits at the 33rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 52.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TRX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio stood at 48.6%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 55.1% an unusually strong day for buyers by 6.5 points. Trading volume was slightly below average at 0.93x the weekly norm, suggesting cautious participation despite the higher buy ratio. The coin saw net buying on 3 of the past 7 days, with an 8-day price change of -1.0% and a total volume delta of -$2,134,017. This indicates that while today was a standout day for buy-side sentiment, the broader weekly trend remains mixed with net outflows. The current activity represents a deviation from the weekly average, highlighting a temporary surge in buying interest.
