Tron whales pile into TRX, yet volatility risks remain – Why?

Key Takeaways

Transactions worth $100k on Tron network surges to 98%, reaching a 2-year-high . TRX is experiencing strong demand from both whales and retail, setting the altcoin for a potential rally to $0.4. 


Since hitting a low of $0.29 a week ago, Tron [TRX] has traded within an ascending channel. Over this period, the altcoin surged 7.09% to a local high of $0.355 before slightly retracing to $0.352 at press time. 

Amid this price uptick and market rebound, investors, especially whales, have staged a strong comeback in the market. 

Whales are back on Tron

According to CryptoQuant analysts Darkfost, USDT transfers over $100k have recently dominated Tron’s network activity.

On the 13th of September, 86% of all USDT transaction volume on Tron was driven mainly by large transfers.

Typically, such a high level of dominance indicated whale or institutional-level transactions, levels last witnessed in 2023. 

Significantly, the massive uptick in large transfers was mainly driven by the recent introduction on the Nasdaq.

This resulted in higher institutional interactions and higher-level flows into the Tron Network. 

On-chain activity goes stengthens

Significantly, amid rising whale activity, Tron’s network activity surged as well, indicating increased participation across all participants. 

According to Dune, Tron’s Total Active Accounts surged to 298.6 million, with Active Accounts (30D) rising to 15.5 million, as of writing.

Such a spike in the number of active users reflects growing adoption and overall network usage. 

On top of that, the Tron network has recorded significant growth in the number of daily transactions. In fact, transactions on the Tron network have grown from 4 million in 2023 to 11.4 million today, reflecting a sustained network usage rate. 

Typically, when these two metrics rise in tandem, it means that Tron’s performance is backed by strong usage, a setup that historically leads to higher value. 

Retail investors are not left behind either

Notably, just like whale activity intensified, Tron recorded significant activity from small-scale investors.

According to Coinalyze, Tron’s Native token TRX has recorded sustained buying pressure over the past five days.

In fact, At the time of writing, Tron saw 218.89 million in Buy Volume compared to 153.9 million in Sell Volume over the past day.

As a result, the altcoin recorded 64.9 million Buy Sell Delta, a clear sign of aggressive retail accumulation. 

Historically, increased accumulation during price discovery phases has resulted in higher prices for an asset. 

What about TRX?

According to AMBCrypto’s analysis, TRX has benefited extensively from increased whale activity on the Tron Network.

As whale returned to Tron, TRX recorded sustained demand, with buyers dominating the market.

Equally, the increased activity has coincided with TRX bouncing back on its price charts, rising from $0.29 to $0.35, reflecting strong demand.

At press time, TradingView data showed strong buying pressure, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbing to 58, just entering bullish territory. 

Meanwhile, the Stochastic RSI surged to 99, signaling an overbought condition.

When momentum indicators like these hit extreme levels, especially with a rising RSI, it typically points to strong upward momentum, but also hints at potential volatility ahead.

Google's 'Reasoning King' Also Departs for Meta, Originally Recruited by Fei-Fei Li

"Google's 'King of Reasoning' Leaves for Meta, Quietly Departing After Over Eight Years. Denny Zhou, a key figure behind Google's AI reasoning advancements including work showcased by CEO Sundar Pichai, has joined Meta's MSL as a research scientist. His low-profile move, discovered via a LinkedIn update, occurred months before the high-profile departures of Noam Shazeer to OpenAI and Nobel laureate John Jumper to Anthropic. Zhou was originally recruited to Google by Fei-Fei Li's China center initiative after nearly 11 years at Microsoft. This is part of a significant talent drain at Google, with top researchers like Shazeer (co-author of the Transformer paper) and Jumper (AlphaFold lead) recently leaving for rivals. Reports suggest internal friction is a contributing factor, particularly around Google's strategic shift. The company has reportedly formed a high-priority 'AI Coding Strike Team,' involving co-founder Sergey Brin, to urgently bridge the gap in AI coding agents, potentially reallocating resources and focus away from other research directions like DeepMind's 'world model' AGI approach. This pivot towards commercially-proven coding applications may have influenced departures, as hinted by Shazeer's comment about his compute allocation being given to another team. Meanwhile, Meta continues to bolster its team, also recently hiring UC Berkeley professor and 'security godmother' Dawn Song, along with her startup Virtue AI team, as a VP of AI research."

How Did Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Flow into SpaceX After Its Index Inclusion on June 26th? Will SpaceX Experience a Massive Price Surge?

Will SpaceX ($SPCX) stock surge when billions in passive index fund money flows in on the effective date? A common retail investor belief is that a massive wave of buying will hit on July 6th, when SpaceX joins the Nasdaq-100, potentially causing a huge price spike. However, the reality is far more complex and less dramatic. The anticipated billions are not controlled by a single entity but are spread across hundreds of passive fund managers (e.g., BlackRock, Vanguard) whose sole mandate is to minimize "tracking error." They aim to buy shares at prices as close as possible to the index's closing price on the effective date, not to aggressively drive the price up. There are two key index inclusion scripts: 1) For the Russell US Index (effective June 26th at close), buying is compressed into the final minutes via Market-On-Close (MOC) orders. 2) For the Nasdaq-100 (announced June 26th, effective July 6th), a 10-day window creates a layered game. Arbitrage funds buy early, betting on selling to passive funds later. Some index funds "front-run" by accumulating shares gradually before the deadline. The bulk of passive funds execute large MOC orders at the July 6th close, often trading directly with arbitrageurs. A critical wildcard is SpaceX's limited free float due to a standard 180-day post-IPO lockup. To avoid causing a massive price spike by competing for scarce shares on the open market, large funds will likely use off-exchange methods: 1) Negotiating large block trades (over-the-counter) with major holders. 2) Using derivatives like total return swaps with locked-up shareholders to gain economic exposure without physically buying the stock. Most of the index-driven buying will thus happen invisibly, not on public exchanges. For retail investors, trying to front-run these sophisticated flows is risky. More viable strategies include: waiting for post-inclusion volatility to subside before establishing a long-term position, or employing options strategies like selling strangles to profit from elevated, but potentially overstated, implied volatility around the event. In conclusion, while price appreciation may occur in the days following the announcement due to arbitrage and front-running activity, a single-day "explosive pump" on July 6th is highly unlikely. The major index fund buying will be executed efficiently and discreetly, often away from public markets, turning the anticipated climax into a well-orchestrated, anti-climactic settlement.
