According to the latest market data, TRX price traded about $0.165 on Monday, up around 4 percent in the past 24 hours. Most importantly, TRX price, against the US dollar, rallied over 22 percent last week, thus revisiting its 2021 all-time high (ATH).

Following the notable TRX price breakout, the altcoin has dethroned Cardano (ADA), another layer one (L1) blockchain that has suffered a low adoption rate in the past few years. As of this report, TRX had a market cap of around $$14.36 billion, which is close to Toncoin’s $14.4 billion. On the other hand, the Cardano network had a market cap of about $13.6 billion.

The Tron network has seen its total value locked (TVL) rise to about $8.74 billion, while its stablecoins market cap rose to about $60 billion. The Tron network registers a daily revenue of about $2.3 million and an average volume of around $237 million.

The Solana (SOL) network, with a TVL of about $5.5 billion and a stablecoins market cap of around $4 billion, registered a daily revenue of only $234k from an average volume of approximately $724 million.
