TRON activates Ethereum-compatible upgrade with passkey support
TRON (TRX)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that TRON has activated a network upgrade designed to make Ethereum applications easier to bring onto its blockchain. Proposal 107 received 25 approvals before taking effect on August 28. The changes provide the groundwork for wallets that use passkeys instead of conventional passwords.
The upgrade introduces features from Ethereum’s Prague and Osaka updates to the TRON Virtual Machine. Developers now have less software to change to allow an application to move from Ethereum to TRON. The proposal brings the two environments closer together and makes TRON more attractive to teams that already build Ethereum applications.
The upgrade also enables an application to look further back into the blockchain to verify previously made transactions. Users can sign in to applications using security features built into phones or computers, such as fingerprints or a PIN. This makes it cheaper for TRON applications to verify signatures created through systems such as Apple Secure Enclave and Android Keystore. The upgrade provides the underlying support, while wallet and application developers must decide how to use it.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRX, measured when this story was written up on 29 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
TRX is trading at $0.3413 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 59.3% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 61.2%, both higher than the 24-hour buy ratio of 55.6%. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term relative to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is +$60,357, while the 4-hour delta is +$790,813, showing net inflows over these periods. The 24-hour volume delta stands at +$5,112,914, with a cumulative CVD of +$2,393,546. Buy ratios measure the proportion of buy volume versus sell volume, while volume delta shows the net difference between buy and sell volume. Net buying occurred for 15 of the last 24 hours, with a total spot volume of $45,612,160 across 73,429 trades.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What TRX did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
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 was 51.3%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 55.6% an increase of 4.3 points. The 24-hour spot volume of $45,612,160 represents 1.12x the weekly average volume. Net buying was recorded for 5 of the last 7 days. The 8-day volume delta total was +$12,104,110. The price change over the 8-day period was -0.6%. This suggests a day of above-average buying interest compared to the weekly norm.
