Tron Inc. Aims for Nasdaq 100 Inclusion by 2028 After Nasdaq Debut

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has announced an ambitious goal for Tron Inc. to enter the Nasdaq 100 index within three years, positioning the company alongside tech giants like Apple, Google, and Nvidia [1]. This declaration follows Tron Inc.’s recent debut on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on July 24, 2025, where Sun, serving as the firm’s Global Advisor, rang the opening bell. The company now trades under the ticker symbol “TRON,” reflecting its strategic pivot to blockchain infrastructure.

Tron Inc. emerged from the rebranding of SRM Entertainment, shifting focus from entertainment to blockchain development. The revised business strategy centers on building a portfolio aligned with the native TRX token, linking the company’s financial reserves to the growth of its ecosystem. Sun emphasized that the Nasdaq listing is merely the starting point, with the Nasdaq 100 index—home to leading technology firms—identified as the ultimate target [1].

The announcement coincides with robust performance metrics for the Tron network. According to a CryptoRank report, the network processed 784 million transactions in Q2 2025, its second-highest volume on record, and generated nearly $1 billion in on-chain revenue during the same period. These figures underscore sustained user activity and financial success, contributing to Tron’s ranking as one of the top-five blockchain networks by transaction volume in the first half of 2025 [1].

The strategic move highlights Tron Inc.’s broader vision to solidify its role in the digital asset economy. By aligning corporate objectives with the growth of its blockchain infrastructure, the firm aims to leverage its existing network strength to achieve broader market recognition. The Nasdaq 100 index, which tracks the performance of large-cap technology companies, represents a high bar for inclusion, requiring consistent financial performance and market influence [1].

Analysts note that Tron Inc.’s ability to meet this goal will depend on its capacity to maintain and expand its network’s utility while navigating regulatory and competitive challenges. The company’s transition from entertainment to blockchain also signals a significant repositioning, which could attract institutional investors and traditional finance (TradFi) participants. However, the timeline for inclusion in the index remains ambitious, as it requires sustained growth in market capitalization, revenue, and operational scalability.

Tron Inc.’s rebranding and strategic focus reflect broader trends in the blockchain industry, where firms are increasingly aligning corporate structures with native token ecosystems. This approach aims to create symbiotic relationships between business operations and network growth, potentially enhancing long-term value. The firm’s recent financial milestones, including record on-chain revenue, provide a foundation for future aspirations but do not guarantee progress toward Nasdaq 100 inclusion.
