Tron meme startup
#SunPump raised quarterly blockchain revenue to a record high of $151.2 million in the third quarter, up nearly 30% from the previous quarter, Messari says.
The hype around memes led to more than 89,000 tokens being launched on SunPump between Aug. 12 and Sept. 30, driving Tron (
$TRX ) decentralized financial transactions up 487% during the third quarter.
“SunPump activity began to grow on August 16 and continued its parabolic trend over the next two weeks,” Messari said in the report.
Between Aug. 16 and Aug. 31, more than 270 million tokens were burned, generating about $42 million - nearly 27% of Tron's third-quarter revenue, Messari noted.
A daily record of more than 7,500 SunPump tokens was launched on Aug. 20, with more TRX burned on Aug. 21 than on any other day in the network's history, the blockchain analytics company added.
However, the number of new tokens launched on SunPump dropped sharply in September from less than 1,000 per day to a few hundred.
SunDog (SUNDOG) is the largest meme coin from SunPump with a market capitalization of $217 million, while Tron Bull (TBULL) and Invest Zone (IVFUN) also saw high trading volumes.
TRX's circulating market capitalization also increased for the seventh consecutive quarter by 24% to $13.5 billion by the end of the third quarter.
It reached $14.5 billion at the peak of the hype surrounding SunPump, according to CoinGecko.
TRX also remained deflationary in the third quarter with a net burn of 587.6 million tokens.
The average daily number of Tron transactions increased 14.4% to 7.2 million for the quarter, while the average daily number of active addresses rose 6% to 2.1 million.
The total blocked value (TVL) in Tron's decentralized finance protocols was $8.1 billion at the end of the third quarter, but has since dropped to $6.98 billion, DeFiLlama data shows.
Tron's TVL is now 32.8% below its all-time high of $10.4 billion reached on March 12, 2024.
The market capitalization of Tether's (USDT) stablecoin on Tron rose 3% quarter-over-quarter to nearly $59 billion in the third quarter and still accounts for about half of USDT's market capitalization across multiple blockchains backed by Tether.
