The cryptocurrency market may seem like it is stuck in a rut, with its market capitalization standing firmly below the coveted $1 trillion mark, but some of its assets, such as TRON (TRX), are recording price gains and hitting highs in other areas.
Indeed, the total number of transactions on the TRON blockchain has recently surpassed 4 billion, adding 4,812,800 transactions in the past 24 hours alone, according to the TRONSCAN data retrieved by Finbold on October 10.
It is also worth noting that TRON’s total value locked (TVL) has exceeded $12.5 billion and that the number of accounts created on the network has reached 115 million, a little over two months after TRON became the second-largest public chain by stablecoin market cap.
