Recently, TRON has brought another major good news by reaching a cooperation with Nasdaq-listed company SRM Entertainment (SRM) through a reverse merger to list on the US mainstream capital market. Meanwhile, the listed company will emulate the "Bitcoin MicroStrategy" model, launching the "TRX MicroStrategy" plan, listing TRX as a reserve asset on the company's balance sheet and starting a large-scale "buy buy buy" token accumulation mode.
Influenced by this positive news, the SRM company stock (SRM) price has soared from the initial $1.18 to a high of $12.8 within the past 10 days, rising over 10 times.
For TRON, successfully listing on the US stock market means officially entering the US mainstream capital market and gaining broader development space and resources. The launch of the "TRX MicroStrategy" plan provides a compliant and legal pathway for the listed company to purchase TRX, potentially leveraging traditional financial market funds to flow into the TRON ecosystem. This undoubtedly has milestone significance for TRON's ecosystem development and will strongly promote its ecosystem applications, especially DeFi applications, to enter a new development stage.
TRON Listed in Mainstream Financial Market, "TRX MicroStrategy" Replicates "Stock and Token Dual-Flying" Growth Flywheel
By reverse merging with SRM Entertainment, TRON successfully entered the Nasdaq-listed company ranks, gaining recognition from the mainstream financial market. Its native token TRX was also formally incorporated into the listed company's balance sheet as a core reserve asset. This move is not only of great significance to TRON itself but also has a profound impact on the entire crypto industry, undoubtedly further promoting the compliance and mainstreaming process of the crypto industry.
On June 16, Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment announced that it has signed an investment agreement with TRON founder Justin Sun. According to the agreement, Justin Sun will inject $100 million in equity investment into SRM and serve as a company advisor. Meanwhile, SRM plans to rename itself as Tron Inc and launch the TRX financial strategy, formally incorporating TRX as a core reserve asset into its balance sheet and starting a continuous purchase and holding mode of TRX.
It is worth noting that Dominari Securities investment bank played a key role in this collaboration. Earlier this year, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the two sons of Trump, both joined the advisory committee of Dominari Holdings, the parent company of Dominari Securities.
The core strategy of TRON's this listing is to learn from the listed company MicroStrategy's "Bitcoin strategic reserve" model and create a TRX-specific "MicroStrategy".
The "Bitcoin strategic reserve model" led by MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor is considered a legendary example of crypto assets and listed companies' integration and is viewed as a key force driving this round of Bitcoin's significant rise. By the "BTC hoarding" mode, MicroStrategy extensively allocated company funds to Bitcoin, achieving a deep binding of listed company value and Bitcoin value. Whenever Bitcoin's price rises, the company's market value would also significantly increase, forming a positive "stock and token dual-flying" cycle. In just 4 years, MicroStrategy transformed from a software company with annual revenue of around $400 million to the world's largest Bitcoin holder, with its stock price surging from $12 to over $500 and market value increasing from the initial $1.1 billion to over $100 billion.
Tron Inc will replicate this successful path, creating a "TRX version of MicroStrategy" that not only allows the company to successfully capture potential gains from TRX's rise but also serves as a leveraged crypto asset investment tool. Under this strategic framework, TRX will be formally incorporated into the listed company's reserve asset system. The company will use idle funds, convertible bonds, stock issuance, and other financing methods to massively purchase TRX, fully launching the "buy buy buy" TRX hoarding mode. As such, the listed company will become a TRX value amplifier, driving its value to continuously climb and opening a new "token and stock dual-flying" collaborative growth flywheel.
According to the officially disclosed investment agreement details, SRM will raise up to $210 million in funds through various forms such as preferred stock and warrants, and this fund will be specifically used for the TRX financial purchase strategy. In other words, the listed company will spend a massive $210 million to purchase TRX, and this is just the beginning. In the future, the company is highly likely to continuously increase TRX purchasing power through multiple financing methods like convertible bond issuance and stock additional issuance.
TRON's successful listing and the implementation of the "TRX MicroStrategy" are of great significance and far-reaching impact. This move not only provides a compliant and convenient channel for traditional financial markets to enter Web3 but also legally introduces crypto assets' unique narrative into Wall Street's valuation system, taking a crucial step towards deep integration of cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets.
By deeply integrating TRX value into the listed company's valuation framework, TRON has broadened TRX's capital market entry point, potentially unlocking a new wave of capital inflow and injecting strong momentum into TRX's development. Not all investors have the ability or willingness to directly purchase TRX. Institutional investors, pension funds, and strictly regulated sovereign wealth funds often find it difficult to directly engage in the cryptocurrency field due to various restrictions.
The listed company Tron Inc builds a compliant channel to the TRON ecosystem for investors, allowing indirect investment by purchasing stocks of publicly TRX-holding listed companies. This approach allows traditional investors to avoid the risks and complicated processes of directly holding cryptocurrencies. They only need to buy its stocks to easily obtain TRX's risk exposure, indirectly participate in the TRON ecosystem, and capture potential TRX token gains.
Additionally, this model will accelerate the price discovery process of TRX. Incorporating TRX into reserve assets means these tokens will be "locked" from circulation. Every time the listed company increases TRX purchases, the number of locked TRX will grow like a snowball. Meanwhile, as Tron Inc's influence grows, its demonstration effect will spread, sparking more listed companies' interest in TRX asset allocation, seeing TRX's potential and value as a reserve asset.
As time passes, TRX supply in the market will become increasingly scarce, strengthening its deflationary mechanism. At critical market points, this supply scarcity is highly likely to accelerate TRX's price discovery process and drive TRX value to achieve a qualitative leap.
TRON founder Justin Sun emphasized the strategic significance of this move in HTX Space: "Entering the US capital market is of immense significance, possessing the world's largest and most active capital channel. If successfully replicating the MicroStrategy model, the massive traffic and funds from the Nasdaq platform will be immeasurably valuable. Trading in the US stock market means the opportunity to attract traditional financial giants like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Mainstream institutional entry is a crucial link in TRON's development path. Moreover, striving to enter the S&P 500 index is Tron Inc's full-effort goal. Once selected, numerous large institutions, index funds, and pension funds will make default allocations. Therefore, this listing is a critical capital market window and a top priority for TRON's development."
Within the past 10 days, SRM stock has risen from $1.18 to a high of $12.8, a 1000% increase. On June 17, the company's stock trading volume even temporarily exceeded Alibaba and Tencent. On June 26, SRM's market value was $150 million, with a price of $8.6. According to Coingecko data, TRX's market value has reached $26 billion, ranking in the top eight of the entire crypto asset sector.
DeFi Ecosystem Applications: Value Capturers Under the Listing Bonus
When TRON goes public on the US stock market and launches the TRX micro-strategy, it is expected to leverage hundreds of billions of dollars of new funds from traditional financial markets into its ecosystem. As the first battle of capital flow, DeFi protocols within the TRON ecosystem will be the first to benefit. Currently, the TRON ecosystem has built a complete financial infrastructure: in addition to USDT, the global top circulating stablecoin, it also covers native applications such as the comprehensive trading platform SUN.io, MEME issuance platform SunPump, lending center JustLend DAO, and NFT platform APENFT, forming a ecosystem closed loop covering asset trading, lending services, yield enhancement (such as RWA product stUSDT), and multiple asset categories, providing a seamless channel for traditional capital inflow.
TRON founder Justin Sun emphasized in a Space discussion that the "TRON micro-strategy" is more innovative compared to the "Bitcoin micro-strategy". The Bitcoin micro-strategy is a 1.0 version, simply a value storage; the "TRON micro-strategy" is an upgraded version because TRX supports on-chain staking and has a diversified ecosystem, not only with the leading stablecoin but also with DeFi, AI, Non-Fungible Token, Staking and reStaking, offering more diverse participation methods and richer value capture scenarios.
Under the catalysis of the listing bonus, DeFi applications in the TRON ecosystem will also enter a value explosion phase. Imagine when Wall Street funds surge into the TRON ecosystem like a tide, SUN.io aggregates liquidity as a capital entry point, continuously injecting powerful financial momentum for ecosystem projects; JustLend DAO can generate up to millions of dollars in daily revenue for TRX holders through various income methods, bringing tangible returns to investors; SunPump and APENFT continue to expand asset innovation boundaries, with physical artworks achieving secure and efficient circulation on-chain. At this point, the positive growth flywheel within the TRON ecosystem will begin to rotate powerfully.

The capital game launched by TRON is far from a simple listing path. With Tron Inc going public on NASDAQ, TRON will break down the barriers between traditional finance and crypto assets, initiating an experimental fusion of on-chain and off-chain finance. This fusion experiment will drive TRON to evolve into a global financial center both on-chain and off-chain, with DeFi applications in its ecosystem becoming the core infrastructure supporting this vision.
Specifically, the listed company Tron Inc will attract funds from traditional financial markets and convert them into tangible TRX assets. Subsequently, these TRX will enter the TRON ecosystem through Staking, and the earnings obtained from Staking will be periodically distributed to stockholders in the form of dividends, creating a positive incentive. At the same time, Staking will guide more funds into the TRON ecosystem.
Meanwhile, TRON's ecosystem's comprehensive DeFi infrastructure can seamlessly and efficiently absorb new funds, achieving a flywheel effect of capital circulation through a complete value closed loop. From the underlying transaction liquidity hub Sun.io, to the mid-layer yield creator JustLend DAO, and then to the asset innovation layer SunPump, APENFT, and others, these applications collaborate to provide users with diverse financial products and services, meeting different user needs, promoting efficient capital flow between on-chain and off-chain while maximizing value appreciation.
Looking to the future, TRON is poised to lead the cryptocurrency industry to a new height through this innovative financial fusion experiment. It will provide an example of deep integration between traditional and crypto finance, continuously expanding the boundaries of financial innovation, enabling crypto finance to better serve the real economy and people's daily lives, and empowering the next-generation boundless financial ecosystem for global users.
