TRON TRON's US stock market listing creates "TRX Micro Strategy", bringing a tens of billions level bonus to the DeFi ecosystem.

Recently, TRON has once again brought exciting news, having reached a cooperation with Nasdaq-listed company SRM Entertainment (referred to as SRM) to undergo a reverse merger for listing, logging in to the mainstream Capital Market in the United States. At the same time, the listed company will emulate the “Bitcoin MicroStrategy” model and launch the “TRX MicroStrategy” plan, incorporating TRX as a reserve asset in the listed company’s balance sheet, initiating a large-scale “buy buy buy” coin hoarding model.

Affected by this positive news, in the past 10 days, the stock price of SRM Company (SRM) surged from an initial $1.18 to a maximum of $12.8, more than a tenfold increase.

For TRON, successfully logging into the US stock market means its formal entry into the mainstream Capital Market in the United States, gaining broader development space and resources. The launch of the “TRX Micro Strategy” plan provides a compliant and legal way for listed companies to purchase TRX, which is expected to leverage the influx of funds from traditional financial markets into the TRON ecosystem. This undoubtedly has milestone significance for the development of the TRON ecosystem, and will strongly promote its ecological applications, especially DeFi applications, into a new stage of development.

TRON is listed and enters the mainstream financial market, “TRX Micro Strategy” replicates the “Stock-Coin Dual Flying” growth wheel.

Through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, TRON successfully entered the ranks of Nasdaq-listed companies, gaining recognition from mainstream financial markets. Its native token TRX has also been officially incorporated into the balance sheet of the listed company as a core reserve asset. This move is not only significant for TRON itself but also has a profound impact on the entire crypto industry, undoubtedly further promoting the compliance and mainstreaming process of the crypto sector.

On June 16, SRM Entertainment Company, listed on Nasdaq, announced that it has signed an investment agreement with TRON founder Justin Sun. According to the agreement, Justin Sun will inject $100 million into SRM in the form of equity investment and will serve as a company advisor. At the same time, SRM plans to rename itself as Tron Inc and launch a TRX financial strategy, officially incorporating TRX as a core reserve asset into its balance sheet and initiating a coin hoarding model of continuous purchases and holdings of TRX.

It is worth noting that Dominari Securities played a key role in this collaboration with the investment bank. Earlier this year, two of Trump’s sons—Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump—joined the board of directors of Dominari Holdings, the parent company of Dominari Securities, as advisory members.

The core strategy of TRON’s listing this time is to draw on the “Bitcoin Strategic Reserve” model of MicroStrategy (now renamed Strategy) to create a unique “MicroStrategy” for TRX.

The “Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Model” led by MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor is regarded as a legendary example of the integration of crypto assets and publicly traded companies, and is seen as a key force driving the significant rise in Bitcoin this time. Through the “BTC Coin Hoarding” model, MicroStrategy has massively allocated company funds into Bitcoin, achieving a deep binding of the company’s value with Bitcoin’s value. Whenever the price of Bitcoin rises, the company’s market value significantly increases, forming a positive cycle of “stock and coin flying together.” In just four years, MicroStrategy has transformed from a software company with annual revenue of only about $400 million to the world’s largest Bitcoin holder, with its stock price soaring from $12 to over $500, and its market value has surged from an initial $1.1 billion to over $100 billion.

Tron Inc will replicate this successful path to create the “TRX version of MicroStrategy”, not only allowing the company to successfully capture the potential gains from the rise of TRX, but also serving as a leveraged investment tool for cryptocurrency assets. Under this strategic framework, TRX will be officially included in the reserve asset system of the listed company. The company will leverage idle funds, issue convertible bonds, and increase share issuance through various financing methods to purchase TRX on a large scale, fully initiating the buy-buy-buy “Coin Hoarding for TRX” model. In this way, the listed company will become a value amplifier for TRX, driving its value to continuously rise and initiating a new growth flywheel of “dual growth of coins and stocks”.

According to the investment agreement details disclosed by the official sources, SRM will raise up to $210 million through various forms such as issuing preferred shares and warrants, and this funding will be specifically used for the financial purchase strategy of TRX. In short, the listed company will spend a whopping $210 million to purchase TRX, and this is just the beginning. In the future, the company is highly likely to continue increasing its purchase of TRX through various financing methods, such as issuing convertible bonds and additional stock offerings.

The successful listing of TRON and the implementation of “TRX Micro Strategy” are of significant importance and far-reaching impact. This initiative not only provides a compliant and convenient channel for traditional financial markets to enter Web3 but also legally introduces the unique narrative of crypto assets into Wall Street’s valuation system, taking a key step towards the deep integration of cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets.

By deeply integrating the value of TRX into the valuation framework of listed companies, TRON has expanded the capital market entry for TRX, which is expected to unlock a new wave of capital inflow and inject strong momentum into the development of TRX. Not all investors have the ability or willingness to directly purchase TRX; institutional investors, pension funds, and strictly regulated sovereign wealth funds often find it difficult to directly enter the cryptocurrency space due to various restrictions.

The listed company Tron Inc has built a compliant channel for investors to access the TRON ecosystem by purchasing stocks of a publicly held company that owns TRX, enabling indirect investment. This method allows traditional investors to avoid the risks and cumbersome processes associated with directly holding cryptocurrencies; they can easily gain exposure to TRX by simply purchasing its stock, indirectly participating in the TRON ecosystem and capturing the potential gains of the TRX token.

In addition, this model will accelerate the price discovery process of TRX. When listed companies include TRX as part of their reserve assets, it means that these tokens will be “locked” from circulation, and every time a listed company increases its TRX purchases, the amount of TRX being locked will grow like a snowball. At the same time, as the influence of Tron Inc grows day by day, its demonstration effect will also spread, stimulating more and more listed companies to become interested in allocating TRX assets. They will see the potential and value of TRX as a reserve asset and will follow suit.

As time goes on, the supply of TRX in the market will become increasingly scarce, reinforcing its deflationary mechanism. At critical points in the market, this supply scarcity is very likely to accelerate the price discovery process of TRX, driving a qualitative leap in TRX’s value.

The founder of TRON, Justin Sun, emphasized the strategic significance of this move at HTX Space: “Entering the U.S. capital market is of extraordinary importance, as it has the largest and most active capital channel in the world. If we can successfully replicate the MicroStrategy model, the enormous traffic and funds brought by the Nasdaq platform will have immeasurable value. Trading on the U.S. stock market means there is an opportunity to attract traditional financial giants like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. The entry of mainstream institutions is a key link in the development pathway of TRON. Moreover, striving to enter the S&P 500 is a goal that Tron Inc. is fully committed to; once selected, many large institutions, index funds, and pension funds will make default allocations. Therefore, this listing is a crucial capital market window and is a top priority for the development of TRON.”

In the past 10 days, SRM stocks have surged from a high of $1.18 to $12.8, an increase of up to 1000%. On June 17, the trading volume of the company’s stocks even surpassed that of Alibaba and Tencent. On June 26, the market cap of SRM was $150 million, with a price of $8.6. According to Coingecko data, the market cap of TRX has reached $26 billion, ranking among the top eight in the entire cryptocurrency sector.

DeFi Ecosystem Applications: Value Capturers Under the Listing Dividend

When TRON logs into the US stock market and launches the TRX micro-strategy, it is expected to leverage hundreds of billions of dollars in new funds from the traditional financial market into its ecosystem. As the first battle for capital flow, the DeFi protocols within the TRON ecosystem will benefit first. Currently, the TRON ecosystem has built a complete financial infrastructure: in addition to the globally circulated stablecoin USDT, it also includes the comprehensive trading platform SUN.io, the meme issuance platform SunPump, the lending center JustLend DAO, and the NFT platform APENFT, among other native applications, forming an ecosystem closed loop that covers asset trading, lending services, yield enhancement (such as RWA product stUSDT), and diversified asset classes, providing a seamless channel for traditional capital to flow in.

TRON founder Justin Sun publicly emphasized at Space: “TRON Micro Strategy” is more innovative compared to “Bitcoin Micro Strategy”. The story of Bitcoin Micro Strategy is version 1.0, which is purely a value store; “TRON Micro Strategy” is an upgraded version because TRX supports on-chain staking and has a diversified ecosystem, which includes leading stablecoins, as well as DeFi, AI, NFTs, and various participation methods such as Staking and Restaking, offering a richer value capture scenario.

Under the catalysis of the listing dividends, the DeFi applications of the TRON ecosystem will also enter a phase of value explosion. Imagine, when Wall Street funds pour into the TRON ecosystem like a tide, SUN.io acts as a capital entry point to aggregate liquidity, continuously injecting strong financial power into ecosystem projects; JustLend DAO can generate daily returns of up to a million dollars for TRX holders through various income methods, bringing tangible returns to investors; SunPump and APENFT continue to expand the boundaries of asset innovation, allowing physical artworks to be securely and efficiently circulated on-chain with the help of APENFT. At this point, the positive growth flywheel within the TRON ecosystem will begin to spin vigorously.

1. Trading entrance: One-stop financial hub SUN.io

Among the new capital inflows brought by the listing on TRON, SUN.io is undoubtedly the most important on-chain entry point. This platform is particularly suitable for efficient entry and exit of institutions and large funds, addressing the key pain points of traditional capital entering the DeFi space with its extremely low slippage and low transaction fees.

As a one-stop DEX platform in the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io provides comprehensive services such as asset exchange, liquidity mining, and Meme asset issuance. Its product system is rich and diverse, covering mainstream DEX platform SunSwap, the SunCurve focusing on stablecoin trading, and the stablecoin exchange tool PSM, as well as the Meme asset issuance platform SunPump among several important components. Users can easily achieve asset trading, stablecoin exchange, and asset issuance in a full process on a single DeFi product at SUN.io, without the need to cross platforms, significantly increasing trading efficiency and reducing transaction costs.

On June 25, official data showed that the weekly trading volume on the SUN.io platform reached 1 billion USD, with over 130,000 transactions and more than 16,000 wallet addresses participating in the trading. Among them, the TRX liquidity pool and the USDT liquidity pool both exceeded 70 million USD in trading volume within 24 hours.

According to DeFiLlama data, the value of locked crypto assets (TVL) on the SUN.io platform has maintained around $950 million for the past six months, ranking it among the top six DEXs globally.

2. Revenue Center: Lending and Staking Platform JustLend DAO

With the listing of TRON, the demand for TRX coin holding will surge, and JustLend DAO will become the core platform for TRX holders to earn excess returns.

JustLend DAO is the first official lending platform in the TRON ecosystem, allowing users to deposit assets to earn interest or engage in collateralized lending. In addition, it offers services such as Staked TRX( staking TRX), Energy Rental, and more, enabling users to explore various DeFi applications and providing them with diversified investment options.

Among them, the Energy Rental feature provides new users who have just entered the TRON network with a favorable Gas fee payment channel, enhancing the on-chain trading experience for users. The platform allows users to offset Gas fee consumption through energy rental without the need to pledge TRX, eliminating the need to burn TRX. This feature significantly reduces the on-chain trading costs for users.

With the listing of TRON and the launch of the “TRX Micro Strategy” TRX buying and Coin Hoarding model, the demand for holding TRX will be further stimulated. How can holders capture the potential price increase of TRX tokens while also realizing asset appreciation to maximize TRX returns? This has become an important issue for TRX holders, and JustLend DAO will undoubtedly become an important hub for them to generate profits.

Currently, there are three main ways to earn income by holding TRX in JustLend DAO:

Firstly, through SBM lending, TRX holders can earn interest by directly depositing TRX or mortgage TRX to borrow various assets such as BTC, ETH, USDT, and SUN. This way, while not affecting the potential returns of the TRX token price itself, they can also earn savings returns and more. On June 26, the amount of TRX locked in the TRX fund pool on JustLend DAO exceeded 2 billion coins, and the value of the USDT fund pool was approximately 300 million dollars.

Second, by staking Staked TRX, users can simply perform a one-click operation to convert TRX into sTRX. By holding sTRX, users can automatically capture the underlying staking rewards of the TRON network (node voting rewards and energy rental income). In addition, sTRX can also widely participate in various DeFi activities to earn returns, such as earning interest on deposits or providing liquidity, further enhancing the utilization efficiency and return level of assets. Currently, the staking yield for sTRX is approximately 7.6%.

The third method is to use a combined liquidity pool with staked sTRX and stablecoin USDD. Users first stake TRX to obtain sTRX, then use sTRX to mint USDD, and finally deposit the minted USDD into the JustLend DAO platform, with total returns potentially exceeding 15%.

In addition, Tron Inc has explicitly mentioned in its future plans that after implementing the TRX staking program, it will launch a dividend policy. In the future, JustLend DAO is highly likely to introduce loan funding pools and exclusive staking channels for institutional users, helping compliant and large capital users to gain returns, further expanding its service scope and influence.

3. Traffic Entry: Meme Hotspot SunPump

As the first Meme coin issuance platform within the TRON ecosystem, SunPump allows users to create and issue their own exclusive Meme coins with one click. In the crypto market, the natural wealth effect of Meme coins makes it easy to break through and become an important entry point for capturing market heat and traffic. SunPump will also bear the key functions of attracting retail investors and community participation.

As of June 26, the number of Tokens created on the SunPump platform has approached 100,000, and the Meme coin SUNDOG and others have been listed on multiple exchanges including Gate, Bybit, and Bitget.

In addition, the AI tool SunGenX launched by SunPump for the X platform supports “Tweet to Mint Coin”. Users only need to mention @Agent_SunGenX on the X platform and attach the token information to quickly and freely create and deploy Meme coins to SunPump using AI technology. It has now become a popular interactive AI agent minting bot on the X platform.

The increase in attention brought by the listing of TRON may first create a hotspot effect on Meme platforms like SunPump, where new users can participate in the TRON ecosystem through low-threshold Meme tokens and then gradually convert into deep users.

4. Physical Asset Circulation Channel: NFT platform APENFT

The NFT platform APENFT serves as a bridge connecting the crypto world and traditional physical artworks, dedicated to creating NFT tools and platforms that empower creators, collectors, and project parties.

The founder of TRON, Justin Sun, once donated multiple artworks worth hundreds of millions to the APENFT Foundation, including Picasso’s “Sleeping Nude with Necklace”, Andy Warhol’s “Three Self-Portraits”, and Alberto Giacometti’s “Nose”, among others. These collections have been mapped to the TRON blockchain as underlying assets through the TRC-721 standard, achieving the on-chainization of physical artworks.

With the increasing popularity of TRON after its listing, APENFT will welcome more real-world artists to join, and the influx of new funds and users will become the driving force behind the innovative trading of NFT artworks, further promoting the integration and development of the crypto world with traditional artworks.

New paradigm of on-chain and off-chain financial integration

The capital game initiated by TRON is far from a simple listing path. With Tron Inc. landing on Nasdaq, TRON will break the barriers between traditional finance and crypto assets, starting an on-chain and off-chain financial integration experiment. This integration experiment will drive TRON to evolve into a global financial center on and off the chain, while the DeFi applications within the ecosystem will become the core infrastructure supporting this vision.

Specifically, the listed company Tron Inc will attract funds from the traditional financial market and convert them into tangible TRX assets. Subsequently, these TRX will enter the TRON ecosystem through staking, and the earnings obtained from staking will be distributed periodically to stockholders in the form of dividends, creating positive incentives. At the same time, through staking, more funds will also be guided into the TRON ecosystem.

At the same time, the well-developed DeFi infrastructure of the TRON ecosystem can seamlessly and efficiently accommodate new funds, achieving a flywheel effect of capital circulation through a complete value closed loop. From the bottom-level transaction flow hub Sun.io, to the middle-level yield generator JustLend DAO, and then to the asset innovation layer such as SunPump and APENFT, these applications collaborate with each other to provide users with a diverse range of financial products and services, meeting the needs of different users, promoting efficient capital flow both on-chain and off-chain, while also maximizing value appreciation.

Looking to the future, TRON is expected to lead the cryptocurrency industry to a new height through this innovative financial integration experiment. It will provide a model for the deep integration of traditional finance and crypto finance, continuously expanding the boundaries of financial innovation, allowing crypto finance to better serve the real economy and people’s daily lives, and empowering the next generation of borderless financial ecosystems for global users.
