TRON: How Justin Sun Turned Copying into a Genius Strategy and Made TRX the Winner of 2025
While 2025 has brought red numbers to most major cryptocurrencies, one coin from the top-10 has quietly made an impressive revolution. Tron (TRX) didn't just grow — it became a financial and technological phenomenon, surpassing almost the entire market. Let's break down how this happened.
In short, success is built on three pillars: incredible user activity, status as the main network for USDT, and the genius, albeit controversial, strategy of its founder Justin Sun.
Success in numbers, not on a graph
Price $TRX has not soared to the moon — it has steadily grown for six months in a row, ultimately showing an increase since the beginning of the year. But the true trump cards of the project lie elsewhere:
Revenue leader: The Tron network is the most profitable in the crypto world. Its annual revenues exceeded $3.5 billion. By comparison: Ethereum earned $313 million, Solana — $210 million.
Activity matters: There are about 2.6 million active addresses per day on the network, and the total number of registered addresses has surpassed 350 million. This is infrastructure on the scale of an entire country.
Reliance on stablecoins: The key reason for this activity is $USDT T. 43% of the total USDT volume (almost $80 billion) is traded on the Tron network, and about 60% of all transactions on the blockchain are related to this stablecoin.
Justin Sun's strategy: Genius or provocateur?
Justin Sun is the main driving force behind the project, and his methods spark debate. His approach can be described as 'talented copying and brilliant PR.'
Technology as a foundation: The Tron blockchain was originally a 'modified copy' of Ethereum, which allowed for the rapid creation of a working network.
Entry into traditional markets: The main move of the year was the merger with SRM Entertainment and listing on NASDAQ under the ticker TRON. This gave the project the status of a public company, attracted institutional attention and capital (the company allocated $100 million to buy back its own TRX tokens).
Political PR: Sun cleverly integrated into the political context, becoming 'the main fan' of Donald Trump, investing in his meme coin TRUMP, and receiving golden watches as a gift from him. This attracted enormous media attention.
So what now?
Tron has shown that in the modern crypto market, success is determined not only by technological superiority. Flexibility, understanding financial flows (stablecoins), and the ability to work with regulators and the media are equally important assets.
A project that many considered just a lucky clone has built one of the most used and profitable economies in the Web3 world. The question now is: can it hold onto this throne?
What do you think, is the success of TRX due to a brilliant strategy or just a fortunate coincidence? And can another project follow such a path?
