Sun Yuchen sued Jing Tian, demanding the return of a 30 million yuan bride price. Some posts claim it has already shot to #1 on the trending list.

On the same day, TRONDAO’s supporters flooded the square with posts—from stablecoins to GameFi—like nothing had happened.

My take: This time, the surge in TRX discussion volume originated from gossip, not technical or ecosystem breakthroughs. The attention it brings may be very short-lived.

Evidence? One post quoted the line: “Shoo-shoo-shoo—right up to #1 on the trending list.” Someone else said, “Influence skyrocketed straight up—my wife even knows about him.” And others are questioning whether “a top-tier ‘scammer’ like Sun Yuchen would go to be a lovesick dog.”

So the real question is: when a founder’s private life can stir emotions more than on-chain data, what exactly is this market trading? Can the attention economy really support TRX’s fundamentals?
