RIVER surges 40% on Justin Sun's investment, signaling the start of a full-scale expansion of stablecoin infrastructure.
DeFi project River's token, RIVER, has surged nearly 40% to a new all-time high, fueled by news of a major investment from Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun.
On the 22nd (local time), River announced that it had secured an $8 million (approximately KRW 11.7 billion) strategic investment from Justin Sun. Immediately following this news, RIVER's stock price rose 39% from the previous day to $60.24 (approximately KRW 88,335). Its market capitalization swelled to approximately $1.16 billion (approximately KRW 1.7016 trillion), and its daily trading volume exceeded $42 million (approximately KRW 61.6 billion). RIVER's gains were particularly notable amid a 1% decline in the overall cryptocurrency market.
Aiming for a stablecoin hub based on SatUSD
With this investment, River plans to accelerate the expansion of its "chain abstraction" stablecoin infrastructure, along with its integration with Tron. Specifically, the strategy involves issuing a new token, "satUSD," using existing stablecoins like USDT, USDD, and USD1 as collateral on a 1:1 basis, and expanding this token into a multi-chain asset.
SatUSD will also be utilized in the stablecoin pool of SUNio, a DeFi platform within the Tron ecosystem, and will receive price information through the WinkLink Oracle. It will also be integrated into the Just ecosystem's lending and borrowing services.
RIVER continues its surge, up 1,150% from last month.
RIVER has shown a steady upward trend, not just a short-term surge. The cryptocurrency has surged 171% over the past seven days and a whopping 1,150% over the past month. According to CoinGecko, RIVER has established itself as one of the top performing coins on the day. Following RIVER's surge, Tron's TRX also rose 2% over the past 24 hours. Tron currently boasts a total value locked (TVL) of $4.7 billion (approximately 6.89 trillion won).
The River ecosystem is gaining attention amid the stablecoin market boom.
The River Project's surge coincides with the recent surge in demand for stablecoins. According to DefiLlama, the total stablecoin market capitalization currently stands at $309 billion (approximately 453 trillion won), a roughly 50% increase year-on-year. Tether (USDT) accounts for approximately 60% of this market capitalization.
This investment has increased the likelihood that River will emerge as a core infrastructure for Tron-based stablecoins. Justin Sun's direct support is also positively impacting investor confidence. While RIVER's upward trend may continue in the short term, the extent to which River secures substantial demand within the stablecoin ecosystem depends on the project's future scalability and execution capabilities.
💡 Are you reading the structure behind RIVER's surge and investing properly?
Short-term surges must always be supported by "sustainable demand and tokenomics." While RIVER's 1,150% rise and Justin Sun's investment news are important, real investors ask:
“ How does SatUSD ensure its peg is maintained? ”
“ Are the collateral assets and liquidation structures, such as USDD and USD1, sufficiently secure? ”
More important than simply chasing peaks is the ability to unravel the structure of the current surge. TokenPost Academy , created by TokenPost , South Korea's leading blockchain media outlet, is a practical, hands-on educational platform designed to cultivate this genuine investment insight.
