Tron rises 26% in 3 months amid retail skepticism and stablecoin controversies

Tron (TRX) has surged 26% over the past three months, reclaiming the $0.35 price level for the first time since September 2025. Despite this price recovery, retail traders remain skeptical due to founder Justin Sun's controversial reputation, ongoing lawsuits, and regulatory scrutiny. The network's heavy involvement in stablecoin (USDT) transfers has raised concerns about illicit activity, reinforced by frequent Tether freezes on Tron addresses. Additionally, Tron’s ecosystem growth relies mainly on stablecoin and yield products, lacking exciting consumer applications, which has dampened retail enthusiasm. This persistent skepticism has limited retail buying pressure, allowing key stakeholders to push prices higher without triggering a typical euphoric rally and subsequent correction.
