Justin Sun Aims for Tron Inc. to Join Nasdaq 100 by 2028 as TRX Trading Volume Surges 30%

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has publicly declared an ambitious goal for Tron Inc. to join the Nasdaq 100 index within three years, positioning the company to compete with industry titans like Nvidia, Apple, and Google. This announcement follows Tron Inc.’s recent public market debut via a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment in July 2025, under the ticker “TRON” on Nasdaq. Sun described the Nasdaq listing as a foundational step, emphasizing his long-term vision to elevate the company to the ranks of global tech leaders.

The company’s token, TRX, has demonstrated notable traction, securing ninth place in global cryptocurrency rankings after surpassing Cardano (ADA). Daily trading volume for TRX surged by 30% to over $1.64 billion, while the token’s market capitalization reached $28.8 billion, despite recent volatility that saw a 3.3% decline amid broader market fluctuations [1]. Tron Inc.’s stock performance, however, has been mixed: shares fell nearly 5% on the company’s debut and later dropped 9.6%, raising questions about investor sentiment despite the high-profile merger and Sun’s active involvement.

Sun’s strategic initiatives, including the Gas-Free feature that reduced transaction fees by 70% and the company’s largest TRX treasury holdings, aim to drive user adoption and decentralization. CEO Rich Miller highlighted that the Nasdaq listing reinforces Tron Inc.’s innovation-driven approach, with Sun transitioning to an advisory role to prioritize long-term growth [2]. The founder, known for ventures such as acquiring BitTorrent and advancing stablecoin projects, has consistently positioned Tron at the forefront of blockchain integration with traditional finance.

Achieving a Nasdaq 100 listing, however, presents significant hurdles. The index prioritizes firms with substantial market capitalization, consistent revenue, and institutional recognition. Tron Inc. must demonstrate sustained financial performance and expand beyond blockchain infrastructure to attract institutional investors. Analysts note that regulatory scrutiny, competitive pressures, and market volatility will further test the company’s ambitions [3].

Sun’s vision aligns with a broader trend of crypto firms seeking validation in mainstream financial markets. His declaration underscores the industry’s push for institutional acceptance, though success hinges on Tron Inc.’s ability to navigate challenges and solidify its market position. If achieved, a Nasdaq 100 inclusion would mark a pivotal milestone, signaling blockchain companies as long-term contributors to the global economy.
