Odaily Planet Daily News: KPMG China Hong Kong Risk Advisory Director Jansberg said that compared with other regions, virtual asset spot ETFs issued in Hong Kong, China have many advantages, including the protection provided by the Securities and Futures Commission for investors, and more diversified subscription and redemption methods. For investors, physical redemption and subscription options are particularly attractive. Institutional investors who custody virtual assets themselves can consider holding the relevant assets through ETFs without converting them into legal currency in advance. He believes that Hong Kong is now ready to welcome spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Hong Kong has very strict requirements for issuing such ETFs, including detailed review of the internal management and business capabilities of the applicant issuer to ensure that it complies with relevant regulations and provides adequate protection for investors. Under the active promotion of the government, Hong Kong's regulatory environment has been continuously improved, providing a more stable investment environment for global virtual asset investors. The continued development of the virtual asset industry will help Hong Kong attract a new round of investors and institutions seeking emerging investment opportunities. (Economic News Agency)

Data from blockchain browser TRONSCAN shows that in the past 30 days, the average daily transaction volume of TRON exceeded 5.53 million, a month-on-month increase of 2.6%.

Relying on the advantages of high throughput, scalability, and high reliability of the underlying blockchain, TRON has become the fastest growing public chain in the world, and the on-chain data is also soaring. As of now, the number of TRON accounts has exceeded 226 million, the total number of transactions has exceeded 7.5 billion, and the total locked volume (TVL) exceeds 21.2 billion US dollars. In addition, TRON has industry-leading user activity, and its TVL and the total market value of stablecoins on the chain are both ranked second among the global public chains, and it has carried transactions worth more than 11 trillion US dollars.

TRX is a mainnet token based on the TRON protocol issued by TRON DAO. Users’ acquisition of resources and payment of transaction fees will involve the burning and destruction of TRX. Thanks to the vigorous development of the TRON ecosystem and the steady increase in network transaction volume, the destruction of TRX is constantly increasing.

As of now, TRX has been in a deflationary state for 591 consecutive days, with an annualized inflation rate of -3.44%, making it one of the few deflationary tokens.

In the future, as TRON is more widely adopted around the world, especially in emerging markets, the scarcity of TRX will continue to increase and its influence will further expand.

On April 25, Messari, a top crypto data research organization, officially released the first quarter report of TRON in 2024. The report shows that TRON has achieved positive growth in multiple key indicators, among which the protocol revenue hit a record high of US$128.1 million, ranking third among all blockchain networks.

In the first quarter, the average daily number of active addresses of TRON reached 1.5 million, a month-on-month increase of 3.5%; DeFi TVL reached 10.1 billion US dollars, a month-on-month increase of 24.8%; the total market value of on-chain stablecoins reached 53.1 billion US dollars, a month-on-month increase of 7.8%.

The report emphasizes that in the field of stablecoins, TRON performed strongly in the first quarter. Among them, USDT accounted for 98% of the stablecoins on the TRON chain, an increase of 4% from the previous quarter. The market value of TRON's USDT exceeded the 50 billion US dollar mark in the first quarter, accounting for 53% of the total circulation of USDT.

According to the blockchain browser TRONSCAN data, in the past week (2024.04.19-2024.04.25), the average daily transfer amount of TRON chain stablecoins (USDT+USDJ+TUSD+USDC+USDD) was US$14,272,075,750, exceeding US$14.2 billion.

For a long time, stablecoins on the TRON chain have been favored by the majority of users due to their transparency, security, and second-level transfers. The daily stablecoin transfer amount is steadily increasing. As of now, the total market value of stablecoins on the TRON chain exceeds 58.9 billion US dollars, and the number of holding accounts exceeds 42.45 million. TRON has become the main infrastructure for stablecoins.
