Justin Sun’s Strategic Bet Drives TRX’s Undervalued Rise

TRON (TRX), one of the seven altcoins highlighted by analysts as undervalued and under $10, has demonstrated notable performance metrics in recent months. As of late July 2025, TRX traded at approximately $0.32, with a market capitalization of $46.86 billion, according to Coinbase data [2]. This represents a year-on-year increase of 134.27% in price, reaching a 12-month high of $0.67 in early December 2024. Additionally, TRX's one-week price movement showed a 2.47% increase, signaling continued investor interest despite a slight decline in dominance to 0.8% in the overall cryptocurrency market [2].

Analysts have pointed to several factors driving TRX's performance. The TRON blockchain has seen growing adoption as a stablecoin settlement layer, with USDT (Tether) supply on TRON rising by 22.2% to $80.3 billion in Q2 2025 [2]. This trend has solidified TRON’s position in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, particularly in emerging markets where stablecoin usage has surged. Messari's State of Stablecoins 2025 report noted that BNB Chain and TRON lead in active stablecoin users, reflecting their growing role in real-world applications [2].

Moreover, TRON has continued to expand its enterprise footprint. In July 2025, TRON DAO announced the deployment of a new token, $TRUMP, on the TRON blockchain using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard [2]. This move was part of a broader strategy by TRON founder Justin Sun to integrate high-profile digital assets and real-world assets (RWAs) into the TRON ecosystem. Sun has also drawn attention for his recent investments and partnerships, including the rebranding of SRM Entertainment to TRON Inc. and his plans to launch a leveraged ETF tied to TRX [2].

Despite these developments, TRX faces challenges, including a recent 2% price decline and a drop in total value locked (TVL) by $136 million as the network prepares for a Nasdaq bell ceremony and a potential IPO via reverse merger [2]. Analysts remain cautious, noting that while TRON continues to attract institutional and retail interest, volatility and macroeconomic factors could affect future performance.

The broader altcoin market also shows mixed signals. Polkadot (DOT) and Uniswap (UNI) have remained on analysts' radar as potential undervalued assets, with DOT benefiting from ongoing cross-chain integration and UNI from decentralized exchange growth [2]. However, TRX's recent momentum, coupled with expanding use cases and strategic partnerships, positions it as a compelling buy for investors seeking exposure to high-growth, under-$10 altcoins.
