TRX Is Coming To Solana

In an X post, Justin Sun announced that TRX will be coming to Solana’s blockchain in the coming weeks. While the statement did not contain a timeline or clear details, TRX and Solana communities are lapping up the announcement with glee.

“TRX will be soon on Solana. Ready to buy and collaborate,” wrote Sun on X.

Pundits are predicting a cross-chain bridge to bring TRX to Solana, leaning on a custom solution or existing offerings. Another cross-section of analysts is tipping the use of a wrapped TRX into a SOL-native token as an alternative.

While other options are in play, a cross-chain bridge is considered the most viable option for Justin Sun. The move follows Solana’s bridged assets from Ethereum, surpassing $314 million in the last 30 days.

For both communities, the integration is seen as a win given their individual capabilities. For starters, Solana’s performance can bring Tron closer to the goal of eliminating fees for stablecoin transactions while Solana will record a spike in activity from TRX’s deep user pool.

Both Ecosystems Are Sizzling With Activity

While the announcement did not trigger a rally for both SOL and TRX, both ecosystems are a beehive of activity. Justin Sun previously expressed confidence of TRX hitting an ATH in the future with active addresses reaching 3 million.

Solana, on the other hand, is reeling from the ripples of its fifth anniversary as it moves on from the failure of the SIMD-228 proposal. In more dour ecosystem news, Solana took down an advertisement over gender identity themes, sparking widespread criticisms.

Despite the outrage, SOL price is staging a recovery following CME Group’s launch of SOL futures while Tron continues to rack up network fee revenues.
