“The breakout by Tron (TRX) offers a serious glimmer of optimism to the rest of the market,” commented ‘Blockchain Backer’ to their 306,000 X followers on Dec. 4.
“It was one of the majority of coins unable to set a new all-time high in 2021. But capable of surpassing 2021 and 2018 with this move. If that doesn’t get you excited, it should.”
Until today, TRX’s previous ATH was $0.231, hit almost seven years ago in January 2018.
