Tron reaches key milestone in transactions

The other major talking point was Justin Sun’s views on the regulation of crypto markets around the world. In an interview with CNBC. the Tron founder stressed the need for a unified blockchain standard for global payments and settlements.

The other major development was Tron’s integration with Uphold, a multi-asset crypto trading platform. The tie-up was expected to enable TRX holders to self-custody their assets and have more control over them.

At the same time, TRON got one more reason to cheer as the total number of transactions on the network went past five billion.

Strong growth in NFT trading

The boost in the number of transactions could be due to increased activity on the NFT front. As per Santiment, the total NFT trade volume hit $730.5K, an increase of more than six times over the previous week.

On the flip side, development activity fell sharply in the last week. This could cast doubts in the mind of investors regarding upcoming upgrades.
