1min readThe Tron network's native token, TRX, outperformed its peers with a 9.5% increase in June, coinciding with Justin Sun's transfer of $21 million TRX to Binance. However, the Tron ecosystem's total value locked dropped to a six-month low, with JustLend receiving 75% of deposits, mainly in BTCT, a TRC-20 token supposedly equivalent to Bitcoin. Exponential.fi flagged concerns over high collateral risk and a "reflexive" security mechanism in JustLend's BTC pool, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in Tron's ecosystem.
The Tron (TRX) network's native token experienced a significant surge in June, outperforming its peers with a 9.5% increase. This upward trend coincided with Justin Sun, the network's founder, transferring $21 million worth of TRX to Binance [1]. This substantial transfer, accompanied by the movement of over $100,000 in BitTorrent (BTT) and WinkLink (WIN) tokens, raised questions about the potential impact on TRX's price and the overall health of the Tron ecosystem.
The total value locked (TVL) in the Tron ecosystem dropped to a six-month low during this period, with JustLend receiving a massive 75% of deposits [1]. The majority of these deposits were in Bitcoin (BTC) equivalent, a TRC-20 token named BTCT. However, recent concerns have emerged over the security of JustLend's BTC pool, with Exponential.fi flagging potential vulnerabilities related to high collateral risk and a "reflexive" security mechanism [2].
While TRX's price surge can be attributed to its recovery from a broader market downturn and the transfer of funds to Binance, the decline in TVL and the potential vulnerabilities in the JustLend ecosystem raise concerns about the overall resilience of the Tron network. It is essential to monitor these developments closely as they may impact the future price and adoption of TRX.
