TRON (TRX) has strutted up more than 7% in May 2026, parading to an 8-month high over the weekend, as if the markets had suddenly remembered their manners. The ascent, old top hat and all, isn’t a lone wolf.
Several other sprightly alts-Zcash (ZEC), Ondo (ONDO), and Toncoin (TON)-have jiggled higher this month, but a certain on-chain signal, with the discreetness of a butler at a ballroom, whispers concerns about how long this little promenade can keep up.
TRX Hits the 0.35 Mark as Tron Bolsters the Treasury
According to market data, TRX surged to $0.353 on May 9, its highest level since mid-September 2025. The token was trading at $0.349 at press time, edging 0.2% higher on the day, as if it woke up on the right side of the chart and decided to strut.

Alongside the price climb, Tron Inc., the treasury outfit stitched around TRX, scooped up an additional 142,127 coins at an average price of $0.3518. The latest purchase nudges the firm’s total holdings beyond 695.4 million TRX, which is a tidy pile for a rainy-day hatstand.
“The company aims to further grow its Tron DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value,” the firm said, as though repeating it makes it so.
On-Chain Signals Diverge from Price, Like a Curious Odd Couple
Nevertheless, network usage has not kept pace with the razzle-dazzle of the price rally, according to CryptoOnchain’s analysis. Total tokens transferred on the network have dropped from roughly 17.3 billion to 12.2 billion over the past month.
“Typically, a healthy and sustainable price rally is validated by increasing network activity and utility. This glaring divergence suggests that the current upward momentum to $0.35 is not supported by actual on-chain usage. It implies that the recent price action might be driven more by speculation or hoarding rather than organic network activity,” the analyst said.
According to the analyst, the $0.35 level remains quite exposed in the absence of supporting transaction activity. If buying momentum wanes, the lack of “underlying utility” could pave the way for a downslope that would not look out of place on the fairground rides.
