TRON (TRX) has extended its August rally, breaking through key resistance levels as trading volume surges and market sentiment turns aggressively bullish.
Over the last 24 hours, the TRX price gained 1.85% to trade at $0.3467, marking a 14.96% monthly rise and a 172% increase year-on-year. The move is backed by a 28% jump in daily trading volume to $1.03B, placing TRX among the day’s top gainers on CoinMarketCap.
The breakout comes as TRON records a flurry of ecosystem milestones, from mainstream payment integrations to record on-chain performance, adding fresh fuel to bullish price targets.
Why Traders are Bullish on TRON
On August 11, Blue Origin began accepting cryptocurrencies and stablecoins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, USDT, and USDC for spaceflight bookings via a Shift4 Payments integration. This real-life adoption follows Blue Origin’s $270M acquisition of Plus Wallet, expanding its crypto payment infrastructure.
While TRX wasn’t mentioned as part of the accepted coins, Justin Sun, founder of the blockchain platform Tron, was a passenger on Blue Origin’s NS-34 mission, purchasing his $28 million seat in a 2021 auction. His flight from West Texas included five others, highlighting a notable intersection of blockchain and space tourism.
Also, most of these stablecoin transactions will likely be settled on the Tron network, thanks to its low fees and fast transactions.

This matters because TRON already dominates stablecoin settlement volumes, moving over $625B monthly. If even a fraction of space tourism or high-ticket bookings settle in TRX, transactional demand could create structural buying pressure.
The market will now be watching booking volumes and whether other aerospace and tourism players follow suit.
Further, TRON has also posted stellar operational metrics in 2025. According to data, the network processed over 1.8 trillion transactions year-to-date with a 99.3%+ success rate, and more than 70% of those incurred zero gas fees.
Developers are increasingly interested in payment and gaming dApps due to their efficiency, as on-chain activity is currently 28% higher than its average over the last 250 days.
This reliability lowers operational risks for businesses using TRON, which is a positive sign for long-term adoption.
Analysts Eye $0.45–$1 for TRX Price
Technical analysts on X are united in their near-term bullishness. Lisa Manobal notes that TRX’s break above $0.30 after months of tight-range trading came with RSI just below overbought and stable funding rates, a setup she says could push prices toward $0.45.
Jack of DeFi echoes that call, citing technical strength and rising social interest.
However, some, like Intuit Trading, see a bigger play. They predict the TRX price could hit $1 by September–October if the move follows the pattern of past “massive bear traps,” while Javon Marks maintains a long-standing $1.11 target, a more than 220% upside from current levels.
Momentum traders are eyeing a clean break above $0.35 as the trigger for a $0.45 test. Swing traders may look for pullbacks to the $0.33–$0.31 zone for re-entry, betting on a Q3 rally fueled by growing real-world payment use cases and strong network fundamentals.
