華爾街日報Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun-Backed Coin Outshines Bitcoin, Ethereum With A 12% Rally In 2025 — Here's What Worked For TRON
Tron (CRYPTO: TRX) defied the negatives plaguing the more popular cryptocurrencies to emerge as one of the market’s top performers in 2025.
TRX’s Resilience Amid Market Turmoil
The Layer-1 blockchain token has lifted over 12% year-to-date, making it the tenth-largest cryptocurrency gainer this year.
TRX, currently valued at over $27 billion, surged to its yearly high of $0.36 in late August before sliding to $0.28 in the broader crypto downturn in the last quarter.
Yet, the token was not nearly as badly impacted as blue-chip currencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), which traded down 6.54% and 11.64%, respectively, year-to-date.
| Asset | YTD Gains +/- | Price (Recorded at 2:00 a.m. ET) |
| Tron | +12.19% | $0.2852 |
| Bitcoin | -6.54% | $87,310.67 |
| Ethereum | -11.64% | $2,944.35 |

What Worked In Its Favor?
Key drivers for the asset include Tron going public in the U.S. through a reverse merger to create a new TRX treasury vehicle named Tron Inc. (NASDAQ:TRON). The rebranded company is up 122% year-to-date.
Tron founder Justin Sun’s increased engagements with the Trump family, including investment in Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) memecoin and the World Liberty Financial platform, also acted as significant catalysts.
Price Action: Tron Inc shares fell 1.43% in after-hours trading after closing 2.78% lower at $1.40 during Monday’s regular trading session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that the stock maintains a weaker price trend over the short, medium, and long terms. Know how it compares with Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) and other cryptocurrency treasury stocks by clicking here.
