South Korea Martial Law Declaration Highlighted Tron Dominance: Analyst
Tron is up 66.5% this week, consolidating gains after South Korea's failed power grab and martial law highlighted its popularity in that market. South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on live television on Dec. 3. He claimed that the opposition sympathized with North Korea and declared the activities of the National Assembly (the country’s parliament), other political activities, protests, and demonstrations illegal while also putting media under military control.

Tron Crypto Hits New High Above $0.43 Amid Broader Altcoin Surge
TRON's TRX token has reached its highest record price, beating out a seven-year high amid an explosive rally that saw it reach just above $0.43. Tron swelled by 81% on Tuesday, pushing its market capitalization beyond $35.1 billion, CoinGecko data shows. It coincides with other cryptos, including XRP’s and Hedera’s (HBAR) push this week as investors speculate on shifting regulatory winds in the U.S. By contrast, market-leading cryptos such as Bitcoin and Ethereum remain little changed over the...

Justin Sun Still Plans to Buy 100,000 Bananas After Art Auction Backlash
After purchasing a duct-taped banana at auction for $6.24 million last week, crypto billionaire Justin Sun announced he would reward the banana’s original vendor—a Manhattan fruit merchant who parted ways with it for 25 cents—by offering to buy 100,000 additional bananas from the man’s sidewalk stand. But shortly thereafter, the vendor dismissed the plan as nearly impossible to execute and said it would reap barely any profit. Tron officials told Decrypt on Friday that it is in communication wit...

Inflation? Justin Sun Eats Banana He Bought for $6.2 Million
Ever wondered what millions of dollars tasted like? Well, apparently, a banana. Justin Sun, founder of layer-1 blockchain Tron, ate the banana that he bought for $6.24 million last week at Sotheby’s contemporary art auction in New York. The yellow fruit was part of Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous 2019 conceptual artwork of a duct-taped banana, called “Comedian,” which has become a highly memeable art piece—with two related meme coins to boot. 孙哥现场吃🍌 pic.twitter.com/qYi2UJ6zYl — TechFlow 深潮｜APP 已上...

Justin Sun Goes Bananas: Snags Controversial “Comedian” Artwork for $6.2 Million
What’s worth millions, taped to a wall, and destined to rot? Hint: It’s art you can’t hang for long. Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous duct-taped banana art piece, Comedian, fetched an eye-popping $6.24 million, including fees, at Sotheby’s contemporary art auction in New York on Wednesday night. The sale saw six bidders battle it out before Jen Hua, deputy chairman of Sotheby's and chairman of Sotheby's China, placed the winning bid on Tron founder Justin Sun’s behalf.

Justin Sun Is Now Prime Minister of Liberland—What Does That Even Mean?
Tron founder Justin Sun is many things. You can now count prime minister among them. This week, the micronation of Liberland—a largely theoretical European state cooked up by right-wing libertarians in 2015—announced that it elected Sun to serve as its head of state. So what exactly does that mean in practical terms? It depends on who you ask. The average person might say “nothing at all,” given the fact that Liberland lays claim to 2.7 miles of disputed, uninhabited floodplain currently being...

Solana’s Pump.Fun Has Launched Millions of Tokens—Fewer Than 100 Are Worth Much at All
Solana meme coin factory Pump.fun has failed to keep more than 100 tokens above the $1 million market cap milestone. This comes as the protocol starts to fall out of favor after its summer-time high. A total of 89 Pump.fun coins are currently above a market cap of $1 million, according to Pump.fun. This means just 0.0045% of the near 2 million tokens are sitting above $1 million. That said, over the past 24 hours, only 1.5% of tokens launched have “graduated” to Solana decentralized exchange Ra...

Tron Token TRX Slips as Meme Coin Traders Lose Interest in SunPump
Tron (TRX) has fallen out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko. This comes as meme coin traders appear to be losing interest in the network’s meme coin launchpad, SunPump. Following the launch of SunPump by Tron’s controversial founder Justin Sun, TRX climbed 24.8% to $0.168 as it broke into the top 10 cryptocurrencies. At this peak, SunPump was responsible for 7,531 tokens being created on Tron. But for the past two days, SunPump has seen fewer than 1,...

Pump.fun Retakes Lead Over Tron's SunPump as Justin Sun Pushes 'Celebrity Season'
Solana-based meme coin factory Pump.fun has retaken a key statistical lead over SunPump, nearly two weeks after the Tron token launchpad flipped Pump.fun in daily created coins. On August 21, SunPump created 1,658 more tokens than Pump.fun over a 24 hour period. But this token creation dominance was short-lived. On Wednesday, according to Dune data, SunPump created just 1,258 tokens, falling 83% from 7,531 tokens created just two weeks prior. This decline can also be seen in the Tron launchpad...

Tron (TRX) has leapfrogged Toncoin (TON) to become the 10th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, following the arrest of Telegram boss Pavel Durov and a spike in interest in meme coins on Tron. However, the race is tight: TRX's market cap currently stands at $14.31 billion; TON's is $14.23 billion. French authorities arrested Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of encrypted messaging app Telegram, outside of Paris on Saturday.

Justin Sun’s USDD Stablecoin Loses Bitcoin Backing
The USDD stablecoin, issued by the TRON DAO Reserve, has lost its Bitcoin backing with the removal of 12,000 BTC from its formerly listed collateral address. Without the Bitcoin, worth around $726 million, USDD is now primarily backed by TRX, the native token of the Tron blockchain. The move—spotted on X on Tuesday—was made without any apparent official action by the TRON DAO. Responding to reports of the shift, Tron founder Justin Sun said on X (aka Twitter) that what's happening is “not myster...

SEC Amends Justin Sun Lawsuit to Cite His Extensive Travel in US
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an amended complaint in its lawsuit against Tron founder Justin Sun, arguing that because he "traveled extensively" to the U.S., the case falls under the country's jurisdiction. In the complaint, the SEC notes that over three years from 2017 to 2019, Sun spent around 380 days in the U.S., undertaking business trips to New York City, Boston and San Francisco in 2019. The SEC also pointed to Sun's stays at a apartment in the U.S. rented b...
