Tron (TRX) Trading is Coming to Kraken on March 5

We are pleased to announce that Tron (TRX) will be listed on Kraken starting March 5.

What is Tron (TRX)?

Initially launched as a token on Ethereum, Tron (TRX) has since evolved into its own platform designed to fuel new and experimental blockchain-based applications.

Indeed, Tron has emulated more than just Ethereum’s vision for creating a decentralized web – Tron also uses its Solidity programming language, enabling apps to easily switch blockchains.

Powered by delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS), Tron enables anyone who buys TRX to vote on who can earn rewards for validating transactions and maintaining its history.
This process, by which TRX is locked and turned into Tron Power (TP), is similar to “staking” on networks like Tezos and Cosmos, though users can be rewarded with different levels of new cryptocurrency depending on their role in the voting process. Note: At time of listing, you will not be able to lock TRX held on Kraken in order to vote.
With DPoS, Blocks are added to the blockchain every 3 seconds, and valid blocks are awarded 32 TRX. A total of 336,384,000 TRX is programmed to be awarded annually.
The Tron Foundation, led by project creator Justin Sun, purchased BitTorrent in 2018 and has since launched a BitTorrent token on top of the Tron blockchain.
The Tron blockchain officially went live in 2018.

Will Kraken list more assets?

Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details until shortly before launch – not even about which assets we are considering. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be listing in the future.

Trade with caution

Limit orders are recommended when trading starts since the markets may be illiquid initially. Be extremely careful with market orders and orders that trigger market orders (e.g. stop loss).

Invest with caution

Listing an asset or token for trade is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or participate in the associated network. Do your own research, and invest at your own risk.
