Justin Sun Calls TRX The Next XRP

The rally of over 15% in Tron price has caught the eyes of investors today, with a flurry of investors speculating on the potential reasons behind the TRX surge. Notably, a flurry of reasons could have contributed to the recent gains in the crypto’s price. For context, the recent shifting focus towards the altcoins, rising institutional and retail interest towards the token, and others might have contributed to the gains.

However, Tron founder Justin Sun has caught the eyes of the traders recently with his recent posts on social media. In a series of X posts, Sun compares TRX with Ripple’s native crypto, XRP, which has fueled discussions in the market.

Meanwhile, the XRP price was one of the top-performing assets in the digital assets space last month. A flurry of positive developments of Ripple, including Gary Gensler’s resignation update, XRP lawsuit advancements, XRP ETF filings by top players, and others, might have contributed to the recent gains. Having said that, the comparison not only gained investors’ attention but also sparked discussions if the Tron price would follow the same path as XRP.

TRON Price Rallies

TRX price today rallied more than 15% today and exchanged hands at $0.236, while its one-day trading volume skyrocketed 116% to $2.49 billion. Notably, the crypto has noted a jump of 23% over the last seven days, while witnessing a monthly surge of around 44%. Furthermore, TRX Futures Open Interest rose 43% to $184.82 million, suggesting a bullish sentiment hovering in the market.

However, the Relative Strength Index of the crypto was at 77, indicating an overbought condition for the asset. Usually, the overbought scenario hints towards a potential short-term pullback, as some investors might book profit due to the massive surge in the asset’s price.
