Recently, TRON's native token, TRX, has shown strength despite a recent security scare. TRX price today is up 7% on the month and hovers near $0.24.
This positivity comes amid a fresh network upgrade that drew investor attention but also a hack on TRON DAO's official X (formerly Twitter) account.
The incident, which involved hackers promoting a fraudulent scheme and triggering concern across the community, did not appear to faze TRX prices. TRX is trading flat to slightly higher on the day.
As TRON’s network upgrade takes effect, both token value and blockchain activity appear to be showing signs of a lift.
According to TronScan data, daily transactions have jumped 15% to cross the 5.8 million mark just hours after the upgrade was completed. Trading volumes also spiked over 40% during the same window, suggesting a wave of renewed engagement.
However, the momentum was briefly overshadowed by the brazen hack. The compromised social media account was used to spread malicious links and siphon funds from unsuspecting users.
In response, TRON founder Justin Sun publicly appealed to crypto exchange OKX to freeze wallets tied to the stolen assets, providing wallet addresses and transaction IDs as evidence.

OKX founder Star Xu responded by confirming that the exchange would cooperate with law enforcement and consider temporarily freezing assets if the evidence holds up — though to take longer-term actions, the legal process would still need to run its course.
Despite the turbulence, market sentiment surrounding TRX remains cautiously optimistic. The upgrade appears to have rekindled interest in the protocol, and if the platform successfully mitigates the effects of the security breach, TRON may continue building momentum through Q2.
