Tron, hate it or love it, is quietly generating real revenue. Tron coin, TRX, trades at the $0.32 price level, being the only coin in the top 10 crypto to post a daily gain, up 0.5% in the last 24 hours, with seven-day gains north of 2% even as the market bleeds, butchering bearish prediction.
On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain confirmed Q1 2026 protocol revenue of $82.69 million for Tron, second only to Hyperliquid across all chains. TVL simultaneously reached $5 billion, reinforcing the network’s position as a top-tier capital destination.
The data landed via an X post from Lookonchain on April 15, cutting through a quarter defined by widespread contraction. Meanwhile, Tron completed a post-quantum security upgrade, a network-level development that has received far less attention.

Q1 2026 was brutal for crypto, with the total market cap falling by 20%, BTC sliding below $64K, and ETH dropping to $1,820 in the period. TRX held its range. It’s a divergence worth examining closely.

Tron Price Prediction: $0.35 is to Break
TRX is consolidating near recent highs. The seven-day range of $0.31–$0.32 shows controlled price action, while the tighter 24-hour band of $0.3193–$0.3217 suggests buyers are defending the $0.32 level with conviction.
Tron’s market cap has expanded 33.8% since early 2025, supported by consistent token burns and a USDT supply on-chain now exceeding 81.2 billion, which is up by 41% since 2024, outpacing Ethereum and Solana in stablecoin settlement volume.
If Tron achieves a clean break above $0.32 resistance, sustained by continued stablecoin inflows and Q2 revenue momentum, it could target $0.35–$0.38. TVL stability above $5B would confirm. But a close below $0.31 flips the structure bearish and opens a retest of the $0.29 zone.
The revenue data fundamentally support the bull case.

Bitcoin Hyper to Follow TRX Bullish Momentum
TRX’s $5B TVL is genuinely impressive, yet at the current price point and an established market cap, the asymmetric upside is structurally limited compared to where TRX was in 2020 or 2021. Traders looking for that early-entry magnitude are already scanning for the next infrastructure play. That’s precisely the calculation driving attention toward Bitcoin Hyper.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is positioning itself as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with full Solana Virtual Machine integration, faster execution than Solana itself, with BTC-level security preserved through a Decentralized Canonical Bridge.
It addresses Bitcoin’s three core constraints: slow finality, high fees, and zero programmability. Hard numbers from the presale: current price stands at $0.0136, total raised is approaching $35 million, and staking is live with a high 36% APY for early participants.
Over $30 million raised suggests the market is taking the infrastructure thesis seriously. For traders who want exposure to Bitcoin’s next scaling narrative before price discovery, Bitcoin Hyper warrants research.
