October 2025 marks a comprehensive breakout for TRON: DEX Volume increases 174% to $3.04 billion, active addresses reach 87.72 million, transactions touch 304.34 million — but TRX price has yet to break out.
Halliday integration brings onboarding down to under 60 seconds, cutting the Token purchase process from around 30 minutes to less than 1 minute. However, TRX still needs clear technical confirmation to exit the sideways state.

- Halliday integration cuts onboarding down to <60 seconds, consolidating onramp, bridge, and floor steps — reducing friction for new users.
- TRX around $0.29, RSI near oversold, OBV declining; needs buying pressure and a break above recent lower-highs to confirm recovery.
October 2025 marks TRON network growth
TRON 's core metrics increased across the board in October 2025: DEX Volume $3.04 billion (+174% MoM), Perps $2.44 billion (+3.47% MoM), 87.72 million active addresses (+13.42% MoM), 304.34 million transactions (+9.09% MoM). Source: Lookonchain on X.
The broad-based gains indicate better user engagement, not just price action. While many major assets have been flat, the TRON ecosystem has been growing its on-chain presence, bolstering liquidation and transaction fee revenue.
The expansion in both DEX and Perps activity reflects a more diversified trading demand. At the same time, the increase in addresses and transactions helps spread network effects, creating a more sustainable fundamental foundation for the next cycle.
on-chain metrics show real interactions, not just price speculation
The consistent increase in DEX volume, Perps, active addresses and transactions implies real users returning, rather than just short-term pumps.
As real interactions increase, the probability of maintaining liquidation and volume will be higher, reducing the risk of rapid withdrawal. This is a positive signal for the ecosystem, although price movements may lag behind network activity.
In the short term, the persistence of utilization metrics will be the best test of new cash flow expectations.

Halliday integration shortens onboarding to under 60 seconds
Halliday integrates with TRON to make onboarding under 60 seconds. According to the announcement, the new routing system consolidates the discrete steps of buying Token through onramp, bridge, and exchange (which usually takes about 30 minutes) into less than 1 minute, greatly reducing friction for newcomers.
A Web2-like experience is key to converting potential users into actual users. Shortening the journey from fiat to TRON assets can increase conversion rates, thereby improving liquidation and DApp activity.
For non-pure on-chain users, not having to deal with bridges, onramps, and multiple trading pairs will be a clear competitive advantage for the TRON ecosystem. Source: TRON Network.
New routing process solves onramp and bridge bottlenecks
The biggest bottleneck for new users is multiple disjointed steps that require technical knowledge. Halliday streamlines the asset purchasing flow, resulting in shorter steps, fewer errors, and less wait time.
In fact, each reduction in steps and time to complete the process typically significantly increases onboarding success rates, which can be reflected in retail volume and active wallets in the following months.
Optimizing from the input stage also helps TRON projects easily run growth campaigns without worrying about technical barriers for new users.
T3 Partnership Strengthens Trust and Compliance on TRON
According to AMBCrypto, in its first year of operation, the T3 Financial Crime Unit (a collaboration between Tether, TRON , and TRM Labs) froze $300 million in illicit assets in 23 jurisdictions.
The ability to coordinate tracing and freezing quickly makes the ecosystem more resilient to abuse. This is especially important as TRON reaches larger scale usage and attracts new Capital .
The presence of specialized partners like TRM Labs creates an additional layer of trust in compliance, supporting TRON in dialogue with regulators and financial institutions.
TRX price has not reacted yet, need clear technical signal to break out
On the daily chart, TRX is trading around $0.29 at the time of writing, with no clear breakout attempt yet. RSI is approaching the oversold zone, OBV is declining, indicating that buying momentum is not convincing enough.
Despite positive news at the ecosystem level, the price has not yet resonated. This usually happens when the market waits for more data to confirm new money flows or definitive technical signals.
For a short-term recovery scenario, TRX needs sustained buying pressure and a confirmation breakout of the recent lower-high chain . Until that happens, the current state is more of a consolidation than an uptrend.
Short-term traders should prioritize confirmation over price chasing.
In weak RSI and falling OBV conditions, technical bounces may lack sustainability. Volume confirmation and a break of nearby resistance levels are key.
Patience can help optimize the risk/reward ratio, especially when the gap between positive on-chain signals and price reaction remains.
Keeping a close eye on spot and Derivative volume will help differentiate real accumulation from technical pullbacks.
