SunPump market cap reaches $268m as Sundog, FoFar, Suncat tumble

Tokens in the SunPump ecosystem experienced a significant decline, reflecting a similar downturn in the Pump.fun ecosystem.

On Aug. 22, the Sundog (SUNDOG) token dropped by over 7%, reducing its market cap to $215 million. Other tokens in the ecosystem fared worse, with FoFar (FOFAR), Suncat (SUNCAT), and several others all plunging by over 40% during the same period.

These declines occurred as the total market cap of all tokens in the SunPump ecosystem reached $268 million, just a week after its launch.

According to data from DeFi Llama, the total value locked in the SunPump ecosystem has climbed to $1.3 million, with the annualized fee income rising to $4.12 million.

Token generation platforms have proven to be highly profitable this year. Despite the sharp drops in most Pump.fun tokens, the ecosystem has generated nearly $100 million in fees over the past eight months. These platforms earn fees by charging for token launches and transactions.

SunPump tokens declined even after the network announced a partnership with CoinMarketCap. This collaboration will introduce a new dedicated express support channel for Tron (TRX) memes. CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap’s closest competitor, has already launched a dedicated page for these memes.

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, hopes that the meme coins within the ecosystem will boost Tron’s network similarly to how they have energized the Solana (SOL) blockchain. 

Meme coins have helped turn Solana to the second-biggest blockchain for Decentralized Exchanges after Ethereum (ETH). It has a market dominance of 22.2% while Tron has 0.86%. 

There are signs that this growth is working as the volume handled in Sun DEX has risen by 332% in the past 7 days to over $543 million

These tokens could benefit if there is a new crypto bull run, which will only happen if Bitcoin (BTC) rises above the all-time high of $73,800.

TRON revenue hits new ATH, price falls despite market-wide rally

TRON’s daily revenue reached a new all-time high while its price witnessed a quick correction after touching its 40-month-high.

On Aug. 21, TRON (TRX) reached $0.165, a level not seen since April 2021. The rally was majorly triggered by the SunPump meme coin hype as investors jumped on the Pump.fun competitor.

However, TRX quickly faced increased selling pressure as both long-term and short-term holders aimed at profit-taking. TRON declined 5% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $0.151 at the time of writing.

The TRX market cap is currently sitting at $13.16 billion, losing the 10th spot to Cardano (ADA). Notably, the global crypto market cap increased by 0.7% over the past day, reaching $2.23 trillion. While TRX witnessed a bearish correction, Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed the $60,000 mark. 

According to an X post by TRON founder Justin Sun, the daily revenue on the network reached $5.33 million on Aug. 21, marking a new all-time high. Sun claims that TRON’s revenue surpassed all other blockchains with the latest rise. 

Despite the pullback, only 0.48% of TRX holders are currently at a loss, according to data from IntoTheBlock. Roughly 12% of the TRX holders are close to their investment — either at a minor loss or little gains. The remaining holders enjoy major profits on their TRX holdings, per ITB.

Data shows that the majority of TRX addresses, around 62%, have been holding on to their investments for over a year. 33% of them have accumulated the tokens between one and 12 months. The remaining 5% are traders as their assets are younger than a month.

Per data from crypto.news price page, the TRX Relative Strength Index cooled down from 85 to 38 over the past 24 hours. The indicator shows that the token is oversold at this price point. If the selling pressure continues its decline, a price surge would be expected for TRX.

94% of TRX holders in profit amid quick price recovery

The majority of TRON holders are currently in profit but mixed social and on-chain signals have been dominating the asset.

TRON (TRX) is up by 2.2% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $0.136 at the time of writing, while its market cap is currently sitting at $11.8 billion with a daily trading volume of almost $300 million, per data from crypto.news.

TRX price, open interest, funding rate and sentiment – Aug. 19 | Source: Santiment

Santiment metrics reveal that TRX’s price surge from $0.126 has led to a significant increase in total open interest over the past week, climbing from $47 million on August 12 to $71 million at the time of reporting, reaching a five-month high.

A sudden surge in TRX’s open interest could potentially mean higher liquidations that can cause high price fluctuations.

Data from the market intelligence platform shows that the total funding rates aggregated by TRX rose to 0.012% after falling to the negative zone on Aug. 18. Historically, TRX faces a price correction despite traders’ bullish stance on the asset. Quite similarly, the weighted sentiment around TRON remains mostly bullish, per Santiment.

TRON’s high concentration raises volatility risks

According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, roughly 94% of TRX holders are currently in profit despite the price being 55% down from its all-time high of $0.30 in January 2018. Only 3% of TRX addresses have accumulated the asset between $0.136 and $0.166 and the remaining tokens are neither in profit nor at loss.

When the amount of holders in profit reaches a very high level, some addresses could potentially take profits before the price declines.

It wouldn’t be surprising if TRX faces high price volatility due to its token concentration. Per ITB data, over 56% of Tron tokens are sitting in whale wallets and 34% belong to retail investors. While on-chain indicators show the possibility of a price downturn, TRX could still hike due to increased positive sentiment on social platforms.

Justin Sun pledges to create $1b fund to ‘combat FUD’ after facing $280m in losses

TRON’s founder Justin Sun appears unfazed by his nearly $300 million losses, having pledged $1 billion to combat FUD.

Justin Sun, founder of the TRON ecosystem, has announced the creation of a $1 billion fund in an effort to “combat FUD” after experiencing significant losses due to the recent market turbulence. In an X post on Aug. 5, Sun reassured his followers, saying that the industry has “grown significantly over the past year, and this market fluctuation isn’t due to negative news.”

“We should reject FUD and keep building. That’s why we’re creating a $1 billion fund to combat FUD, invest more, and provide liquidity.”

Justin Sun

The pledge follows a report by X account Spot on Chain, which revealed that Sun incurred a loss of approximately $280 million due to Ethereum’s recent 20% price plunge.

Since February, Sun reportedly accumulated over 377,500 (ETH) at an estimated cost of $1.15 billion through three wallets. With Ethereum’s price currently trading well below his average purchase price of $3,051, Sun’s holdings have significantly devalued, the account noted.

“We rarely engage in leveraged trading”

Amid the market’s plunge, reports emerged saying that Sun had been liquidated. The TRON founder refuted the rumors, adding that his affiliates “rarely engage in leveraged trading strategies because we believe such trades do not significantly benefit the industry.”

“Instead, we prefer to engage in activities that provide greater support to the industry and entrepreneurs, such as staking, running nodes, working on projects, and helping project teams provide liquidity.”

Justin Sun

This is not the first instance of Sun making headline-grabbing announcements. In early July, as the German government began liquidating thousands of confiscated Bitcoin (BTC), Sun publicly declared his “willingness” to negotiate a direct purchase to mitigate market impact. Despite his pledge, Bitcoin’s price fell below $55,000, and it remains unclear whether Sun engaged with the German authorities on the matter at all.

Tron surpasses Ethereum, Solana in revenue generated over past 24 hours

Tron has outpaced both Ethereum and Solana in terms of network revenue generation, according to details from decentralized finance data aggregator DeFiLlama.

On Tuesday, Tron (TRX) had over $1.4 million in revenue generated in the past 24 hours. In comparison, Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest crypto network by market cap, had accrued around $844,276 over the same period.

Data from DeFiLlama also showed Tron outperforming Solana (SOL) in this metric. The Solana network had generated $940,009 in 24-hour revenue, which was higher than Ethereum’s and recent outperformer, the meme coin launchpad Pump.fun. On-chain data showed Pump had generated about $867,429 in revenue over the last 24 hours.

TRON revenue over the past week

As well as the past 24 hours, Tron has attracted more revenue compared to Ethereum and Solana over the past week.

Tron leads Ethereum in accrued revenue over the past seven days with a total of $8.67 million. Meanwhile, Ethereum has recorded about $8.08 million to rank second, and Solana is third overall at $6.38 million.

While Tron has also shown remarkable revenue growth over the past 30 days, it lags behind Ethereum over the period. In a month that also saw spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds make their trading debut in the US, revenue for Ethereum has risen to over $52.48 million.

The Tron network comes second with a 30-day revenue of $40.2 million, while Pump.fun has so far outpaced Solana with about $25.83 million.

Solana’s revenue in this period is $23.59 million, which far outperforms the likes of Lido, Uniswap, and Maker, which have $8.82 million, $8.1 million, and $7.32 million respectively.

What’s coming up for Tron?

Tron’s rising revenue comes as the blockchain network sees a spike in developments set to bolster ecosystem activity. Earlier this month, Tron founder Justin Sun outlined plans for a gasless stablecoin solution aimed at boosting the blockchain’s growth via free P2P transfers.

Sun revealed that the new feature will go live in the fourth quarter. Tron has also seen issuance of the USDT stablecoin on the platform surpass $60 billion, which Sun noted makes it the first blockchain network to reach this milestone.

Tron price rally continues as USDT transactions rises

Tron price has risen for three straight days after on-chain data pointed to robust performance of its ecosystem. TRX jumped to a high of .1185 on Friday, its highest point in a month. It has soared by over 7.65% from its lowest point this month as other altcoins like Ether, Solana, and Pepe slumped.

Tron price chart

According to TronScan, the 24-hour trading volume of Tether (USDT) on Tron surged to over billion. This happened as the number of transfers jumped to over 2.18 million while the number of holders soared to over 45.32 million.

The number of USDT on Tron holders has been in a strong uptrend in the past few months. Data shows that the figure stood at over 25 million in the same period in 2023 and about 1.4 million in 2020. 

The volume of USDT traded on Tron has jumped above that of Visa and Mastercard, the two biggest payment processing companies in the world.

These numbers mean that Tron has become a vital player in the crypto industry since Tether is the most important stablecoin. Also, data by DeFi Llama shows that the volume of stablecoins on Tether has soared to more than billion or 51% of the total Tether supply. 

While Tether’s growth has stalled recently, recent data shows that it is still a popular stablecoin. For example, as we wrote earlier on Friday, USDT has become more popular than Bitcoin in Latin America.

There is more evidence that Tron is doing well. For example, the total value locked (TVL) in its DeFi ecosystem has jumped to over .13 billion, with most of it being in JustLend, JustStables, and SUN. 

At the same time, Tron is the second most profitable players in the crypto industry. Its revenue this year stands at over 5 million, making it the second one after Ethereum. 

Still, Tron faces some potential issues. In 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Justin Sun and others for fraud and other securities violations. It is unclear how the lawsuit will affect his network.  Most recently, Circle ended its support for USD Coin on Tron.

Crypto deposits to Chinese precursor makers surge 600% in 2023

Blockchain intel firm TRM Labs says China-based precursor manufacturers received over million in crypto in 2023, with around 60% of payments were made in Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency appears to be becoming a more preferred payment method for Chinese drug manufacturers as the amount of crypto deposited into wallets linked to these entities soared sixfold from 2022 to 2023, according to TRM Labs, a blockchain intel firm backed by JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Citi, and PayPal among others.

In a recent research report shared with crypto.news, analysts at TRM Labs revealed that deposits into addresses linked to Chinese drug producers more than doubled in the first four months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. In 2023, Chinese precursor networks received over million, with 11 manufacturers accounting for “over 70% of all crypto-denominated sales of drug precursors.”

“Crypto funds sent to Chinese precursor manufacturers primarily come from unhosted wallets, cryptocurrency exchanges, and payment services; the manufacturers’ wallets are most commonly hosted at exchanges.”

TRM Labs

Approximately 60% of crypto payment volume to Chinese precursor manufacturers occurred on the Bitcoin blockchain, followed by 30% on the TRON blockchain and about 6% on the Ethereum blockchain, the data shows. Despite the surge in crypto payments, Chinese manufacturers also appear to be comfortable with accepting payments in fiat currencies via PayPal, MoneyGram, Western Union, and bank transfers.

According to TRM Labs’ study, Chinese drug precursors mainly target Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, and the U.S., as their top countries for shipping. However, there are also advertisements targeting Russia and neighboring countries for mephedrone precursors.

In April, a U.S. congressional committee reported that China subsidizes the production of illicit fentanyl precursors, fueling the U.S. opioid crisis. The committee reportedly found that China provides value-added tax rebates to companies manufacturing fentanyl analogs, precursors, and other synthetic narcotics, provided they sell them outside China.

As another blockchain intelligence firm, Elliptic, earlier noted, fentanyl is favored by drug cartels due to its lower production cost compared to heroin and its potency, which is 50 times stronger, making it the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45.

Justin Sun của Tron thống trị giao thức đặt lại thanh khoản với 46% tiền gửi

Người sáng lập Tron Justin Sun đã trở lại gây chú ý với hoạt động gửi tiền điện tử gần đây của mình.

Dữ liệu chuỗi khối tiết lộ rằng ví của Sun, được xác định là “0x7a9…3095,” đã chuyển tổng cộng 120.000 eETH, là các mã thông báo được gắn với Ethereum, vào giao thức đặt lại chất lỏng Swell L2.

Justin Sun làm rung chuyển DeFi

Khoản tiền gửi đáng kể này chiếm 46% tổng số tiền gửi vào giao thức Swell L2. 120.000 eETH là một khoản đầu tư đáng kể vào nền tảng.

Các giao thức đặt lại thanh khoản như Swell L2 cho phép người dùng đặt cọc Ethereum và nhận mã thông báo thanh khoản, chẳng hạn như eETH, có thể được sử dụng trên nhiều ứng dụng DeFi khác nhau để kiếm thêm tiền lãi. Bằng cách gửi số tiền lớn như vậy, Sun đã thực sự trở thành người chơi hàng đầu trên Swell L2.

Việc Sun tham gia vào không gian đặt lại thanh khoản là một phần trong quá trình tham gia rộng rãi hơn của anh ấy vào tài chính phi tập trung (DeFi). Năm ngoái, anh ấy đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc ngăn chặn cuộc khủng hoảng thanh khoản trên Curve Finance bằng cách mua mã thông báo CRV trị giá 2,3 triệu đô la.

Swell L2 đã chứng kiến sự tăng trưởng nhanh chóng, với tổng giá trị bị khóa (TVL) đạt gần 3 tỷ USD trước khi ra mắt mã thông báo quản trị gốc sắp tới. Khoản tiền gửi lớn của Sun có khả năng làm tăng TVL của giao thức hơn nữa, củng cố vị thế của nó trong hệ sinh thái DeFi.

Mặc dù sự nổi bật của Justin Sun trên Swell L2 là đáng chú ý nhưng nó đặt ra câu hỏi về tác động lâu dài đối với sự phân cấp và quản trị của nền tảng. Các cơ quan quản lý và nhà quan sát trong ngành có thể sẽ chú ý đến các khoản tiền gửi quy mô lớn như vậy từ những nhân vật có ảnh hưởng trong ngành công nghiệp tiền điện tử.

Justin Sun và Ethereum

Sun có mối quan tâm sâu sắc đến tiền điện tử dựa trên Ethereum, thường xuyên thực hiện các giao dịch quy mô lớn liên quan đến Ethereum ( ETH ), Shiba Inu ( SHIB ) và các giao dịch khác.

Trong một giao dịch gần đây vào ngày 4 tháng 5, Sun đã chuyển eETH trị giá khoảng 376 triệu USD vào giao thức Swell L2. Khoản tiền gửi này chiếm 46,6% tổng số tiền gửi được thực hiện cho Swell L2 kể từ khi ra mắt.

Mặc dù Sun đã thẳng thắn nói về sự tham gia của mình vào các nền tảng đặt cược và đặt lại thanh khoản, nhưng anh ấy lại hạ thấp ý kiến cho rằng mình đang tìm cách kiếm lợi nhuận từ các giao dịch khối lượng lớn của mình.

Thay vào đó, người sáng lập Tron giải thích rằng vai trò của anh ấy là đóng vai trò cố vấn cho các nhóm đặt lại thanh khoản, đưa ra hướng dẫn thay vì tìm kiếm lợi nhuận trực tiếp.

Sun đã chia sẻ tầm nhìn rộng hơn của mình về việc đặt cược và đặt cược lại. Ông nhấn mạnh tiềm năng phát triển và thu hút sự chú ý toàn cầu của họ. Ông tin rằng những nền tảng này có thể đóng vai trò là nguồn doanh thu đáng kể cho các doanh nghiệp và tổ chức quốc tế.

Ông cũng hình dung rằng bằng cách tái đầu tư lợi nhuận vào việc hỗ trợ người dùng, nhà phát triển và cộng đồng rộng lớn hơn, những nền tảng này có thể thúc đẩy sự hợp tác và thúc đẩy tăng trưởng.

Tuy nhiên, không rõ liệu nhận xét của Sun đề cập đến một giao thức cụ thể hay ngành nói chung, nhưng khoản đầu tư đáng kể của anh ấy vào Swell L2 cho thấy rằng anh ấy đang tích cực theo đuổi tầm nhìn của mình.

Tether lại đúc thêm 1 tỷ USDT trên mạng Tron

Tether đúc thêm một đợt stablecoin USDT khác, phát hành hai tỷ USDT trong hai ngày.

Các chuyên gia của Lookonchain lưu ý rằng Tether, nhà phát hành USDT stablecoin, đã ủy quyền phát hành thêm một tỷ xu khác trên chuỗi khối Tron.

Đợt phát hành mới trị giá 1 tỷ USDT diễn ra chỉ hai ngày sau đợt phát hành tương tự vào ngày 2 tháng 4.

Tại thời điểm viết bài, Tether chưa bình luận về việc phát hành đợt USDT tiếp theo.

Dữ liệu hiện tại từ CoinMarketCap cho thấy USDT có vốn hóa 106,2 tỷ USD. Bảng điều khiển DefiLlama cũng cho thấy sự thống trị thị trường của USDT, chiếm 69,2% trong tổng vốn hóa thị trường là 153,2 tỷ USD.

Nguồn: DeFi Llama

Theo quan sát của các nhà phân tích tại CryptoQuant , nơi theo dõi mối tương quan giữa nguồn cung USDT đang lưu hành và tỷ giá Bitcoin ( BTC ), kể từ cuối năm 2022, nguồn cung USDT lưu hành đã tăng khoảng 30 tỷ. Mỗi lần nguồn cung tăng đều trùng với thời điểm bắt đầu tăng giá của loại tiền điện tử đầu tiên.

Tether là nhà phát hành stablecoin thống trị trên thị trường. Tuy nhiên, thông tin về dự trữ của Tether vẫn chưa rõ ràng, làm dấy lên lo ngại rằng stablecoin có thể mất giá, tác động tiêu cực đáng kể đến thị trường tiền điện tử.

Tether phải đối mặt với những lời chỉ trích sau khi cuộc điều tra của Wall Street Journal cáo buộc rằng các đối tác của họ đã sử dụng tài liệu giả và các công ty vỏ bọc để giành quyền truy cập vào hệ thống ngân hàng.
