Tether, Tron and TRM Labs Help Freeze $126 Million in USDT Linked to Crime

A crime-fighting coalition formed by prominent crypto companies has frozen more than $100 million USDT worth of assets in a bid to ice out criminals from their networks. The T3 Financial Crime Unit co-led by Tether, Tron, and TRM Labs is working directly with law enforcement agencies worldwide to “identify and disrupt criminal networks,” the coalition said Thursday in a statement. Their goal is to ensure bad actors cannot exploit stablecoins such as Tether, which criminals have co-opted to laun...

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 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.

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,...

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...

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...
