Guardiantalks.com reported that TRON achieved record traction in H1 2026 by combining DeFi stability with AI expansion. The network’s circulating USDT supply broke $90 billion, establishing TRON as a leading digital dollar settlement layer. DeFi protocols implemented recurring buyback-and-burn mechanics to create an ecosystem-wide deflationary system.
SUN.io launched SunSwap V4 on March 2, introducing six architectural innovations to lower trading barriers. By September 1, TRON’s DeFi TVL surpassed $5.18 billion, placing it in the global top five. The network recorded over 3.88 million 24-hour active addresses, nearly double that of BSC.
SUN.io’s total TVL reached approximately $650 million across more than 26,500 active liquidity pools. Trading volume exceeded $514 million in the past seven days across 112,000 transactions. The platform added SunX derivatives revenue to its burn pool starting with the 50th round on April 25.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRX, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows TRX trading at $0.3223 with a 67.1% buy ratio in the last hour, indicating strong immediate buying pressure. This contrasts with the 44.4% buy ratio over four hours and 39.1% over 24 hours, suggesting the intense buying is fading over longer timeframes. The one-hour volume delta is positive at $819,660, while the four-hour and 24-hour deltas are negative, showing recent inflows against earlier outflows. A negative cumulative volume delta of -$749,410 over 24 hours confirms that sellers have dominated the day despite the recent hourly spike. Net buying occurred in only 10 of the last 24 hours, highlighting a mixed flow environment.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.5% sits at the 10th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 52.6% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TRX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 39.1% is lower than the seven-day average of 47.6%, indicating a shift toward selling pressure compared to the recent week. Volume has increased to 1.22 times the weekly average, showing heightened activity despite the lower buy ratio. Over the preceding eight days, the price dropped 4.2% with a total volume delta of -$20,454,403. This day represents a deviation from the weekly trend, as the hourly buy ratio of 67.1% is significantly higher than the weekly average of 47.6%. The recent hourly surge suggests a short-term reversal against the broader weekly downtrend.
