While the crypto market recovered last week, the Tron ecosystem quietly recorded a significant milestone for the year. As reported by Burakkesmeci, an analyst for the market intelligence platform CryptoQuant, all cohorts of investors holding TRX, the native asset of the Tron network, have seen their positions turn green. Burakkesmeci disclosed that TRX investor sentiment turned bullish as the coin recorded 115% gains in a year. The journey to this milestone kicked off on May 5 when TRX rallied to $0.25, bringing all investor cohorts, from long- to short-term participants, into the green territory. Investors who held TRX for one week, one month, three months (short-term), six months, and one year (medium/long-term) all became profitable. According to the analyst, this development is significant for market sentiment and network dynamics because it shows the level of user confidence in Tron’s future potential. As of May 15, TRX investors holding the asset for one week were in 10% profit, while those holding for a month were 6% in the green. Three-month-old holders were in 11% profit, while six-month and one-year-old investors had recorded gains of 52% and 115%, respectively. Burakkesmeci insisted that short-term holders being in profit drives strong positive sentiment in the market. “These investors are more likely to share their success stories, which can encourage new participants to invest in Tron, potentially creating a feedback loop of increasing demand and momentum,” he stated. At the time of writing on May 16, TRX was worth $0.272 following a significant, but volatile price move over the last seven days. Besides Tron’s latest win in profitability, the network has become more reliable and secure, with block production consistently averaging 99.7% of the expected 28,800 blocks daily. Tron has come a long way from 2020 to 2021, when it witnessed more network volatility and disruptions in block output. A recent report by CryptoQuant said Tron is now recording a steady upward trend in production efficiency. “The absence of large swings in block production indicates a maturing network with robust governance and operational performance, reinforcing TRON’s credibility as a high-throughput blockchain platform,” CryptoQuant added. Meanwhile, Tether (USDT) supply on Tron recently surpassed Ethereum for the first time in crypto history.

After surging to an all-time high of $0.3708 on May 9, 2025, Shardeum (SHM) has witnessed a dramatic correction, hitting a record low of $0.1418 just six days later on May 15. This sharp downturn reflects a significant change in sentiment, and raises questions about the underlying stability of the project’s market performance. Market Overview and Current Status Shardeum’s current market capitalization sits at $3 million, a stark contrast to its fully diluted market cap of $37.44 million. With a circulating supply of 20 million SHM out of a total supply of 249 million, the vast majority of tokens remain locked or uncirculated. This discrepancy likely intensifies volatility, with limited liquidity amplifying price swings. Despite the recent drop in price, trading activity remains high. The 24-hour volume-to-market cap ratio is an astonishing 132.11%, indicating rapid movement of tokens and a strong presence of short-term traders or speculative activity. Factors Driving the Price Collapse Several key issues might explain the price plunge: Overvaluation at Launch: The sharp rise to $0.3708 might have reflected hype rather than fundamentals, resulting in a bubble-like situation. Low Circulating Supply: With only 20 million tokens in circulation out of 249 million, the market is easily swayed by buy/sell pressure. Profit-Taking Behavior: Early investors likely cashed out during the ATH run, triggering a wave of sell-offs. Lack of Established Market Position: Ranked at No. 3279, Shardeum is still a minor player in the crypto ecosystem and may be viewed as a high-risk asset. Looking Ahead To regain investor confidence, Shardeum must focus on increasing transparency, building strong utility for its token, and establishing meaningful partnerships. Sustaining a high trading volume alone is not enough—long-term viability will depend on real-world use cases and improved market perception. $SHM
