Tron Dominates 2024: $2.12B Revenue Leaves ETH, SOL in the Dust
The cryptocurrency Tron ( TRX ) soared to an all-time high of $0.44 in early December 2024, invigorated by a broader crypto bull run following Donald Trump's presidential victory. Despite regaining its position as the tenth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, TRX’s value has since waned, dropping over 43% from its peak and hovering around $0.25 for nearly two weeks. Yet, Tron’s financial health shows resilience, as its monthly revenue witnesses steady growth.
Recent analysis from Lookonchain unveils that the Tron network experienced a robust 39.7% increase in revenue over the past month, culminating in approximately $330 million.
Over the last 90 days, this growth propelled Tron's revenue to $764.11 million.
The third quarter of 2024 marked a pivotal point, largely driven by the rapid success of its SunPump token launcher, particularly aimed at supporting meme coins. This platform surged in popularity from August 16, sparking a flurry of activity in the subsequent weeks.
Taking a broader view, Tron’s stellar performance has spurred a remarkable year-over-year revenue increase exceeding 115%, reaching $2.12 billion for 2024. Data from CryptoDep confirms Tron's dominance, surpassing Ethereum, which lags slightly with $2 billion in revenue. In comparison, Solana, despite its impressive 3,028% growth and $90.9 billion market capitalization, retains significantly lower revenue figures. Emerging blockchain networks like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism report even smaller earnings, illustrating their struggle to compete with Tron’s financial triumph.
The crypto market turned bearish after Christmas, impacting TRX’s performance with substantial losses. Despite being a quieter period, there are indications that TRX might soon stabilize. Market watchers identify resistance levels near $0.40 and $0.49.
Community speculation is growing around potential bullish drivers, including initiatives from asset manager Grayscale and Tron founder Justin Sun.
