Uquid has launched its Uquid Tickets platform exclusively on the TRON network, positioning the blockchain as the primary infrastructure for purchasing verified event tickets with digital assets. The platform supports a global array of events, including football matches, concerts, and festivals, allowing buyers to use TRC-20 USDT and other TRON-based tokens. This integration directly targets the live events industry, a market projected to surpass $900 billion by 2030, and aims to solve long-standing inefficiencies like high fees, slow settlement, and ticket fraud through TRON's fast and immutable blockchain payments.
Concurrently, TRON's ecosystem demonstrated robust growth in the first quarter of 2026. The network generated $82.69 million in protocol revenue, ranking second among all blockchains, trailing only Hyperliquid. Furthermore, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on TRON climbed to $5.115 billion, indicating strong capital deployment and activity within its ecosystem.
On the corporate front, Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) acquired an additional 155,886 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3207. This purchase increases the company's total TRX treasury holdings to over 691.4 million tokens, a move the company states is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value.
In a separate technological development, TRON founder Justin Sun announced on April 15 that TRON has launched a Post-Quantum (PQ) upgrade plan, claiming it is the first mainstream public chain to deploy NIST-compliant PQ signature schemes on its mainnet. He contrasted this progress with Bitcoin, which he said is still debating how to handle quantum-vulnerable addresses, and Ethereum, which is in the research phase.
At the time of reporting, TRX was trading at $0.3213 with a 24-hour trading volume of $510.6 million, showing modest gains of 0.15% and 2.12% over 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Technical analysis from CoinCodex indicated a bullish bias, with 26 indicators signaling bullish conditions versus 6 bearish ones, and an RSI of 63.25 suggesting room for further upside.
