Tron's TRX Surges 150% in 12 Months Amid Deflationary Burn Strategy

Tron’s native token, TRX, has demonstrated strong performance over the past 12 months, with one-year holders reporting gains of over 150%. The cryptocurrency has been on a steady upward trajectory, currently on track for its eighth consecutive weekly gain. This sustained momentum has positioned TRX among the top-performing altcoins in recent months, with its price resilience drawing attention in a market where Ethereum has also seen significant gains [1].

The recent rally has been supported by a deflationary model, where nearly half of the total TRX supply has been burned, reducing circulating supply and increasing scarcity. According to CoinMarketCap, the circulating supply of TRX was valued at $94.68 billion at the time of observation, with the network burning over 1 billion TRX tokens monthly on average. This deflationary mechanism is closely tied to network utility, as higher usage leads to increased token burns, reinforcing the coin’s long-term value proposition [1].

In addition to supply-side dynamics, Tron’s ecosystem has shown growth, with total value locked (TVL) increasing by $2.31 billion between June and August 2025. This rise in TVL indicates stronger investor confidence and long-term holding strategies. Although decentralized exchange (DEX) activity on Tron lags behind Ethereum, the network has offset this through stablecoin adoption and rising transaction volume. Active addresses have surged, and network transactions have grown sharply over the past four months, reflecting broader utility and user engagement [1].

Despite these positives, sustaining eight consecutive weekly gains remains uncertain. While bulls remain optimistic about the ongoing altcoin season and growing institutional interest, market volatility and macroeconomic factors could pose challenges. Analysts have not provided specific forecasts for the eighth consecutive gain, leaving the outcome speculative. Retail investors are advised to monitor both technical indicators and broader market sentiment before committing to positions [1].

The deflationary model and network developments have contributed significantly to TRX’s current momentum, yet their direct influence on short-term price movements remains unclear. Investors should consider both fundamental and technical analyses to assess the coin’s future potential. The broader altcoin market is closely watching whether Tron can maintain its performance streak, which could serve as a barometer for investor sentiment in the evolving crypto landscape [1].
