TRON sees the highest number of new accounts per day

TRON (TRX) continues to break records and hit new milestones even during the world-wide pandemic. According to a recent announcement by Misha Lederman, the Director of Communications and Marketing at Tron Wallet, TRON just recorded its highest daily increase of new accounts.

TRON blockchain sees a flood of new accounts

The coin broke all old records yesterday, April 19th. It recorded 65,226 new accounts within a single day. This represents a 1.2% daily increase when it comes to the total number of its accounts, which sit at 5.3 million.

However, it is a 61% increase from the previous daily record, which was recorded over a year ago, on February 28th, 2019.

Of course, TRON CEO, Justin Sun, also commented on the move. Of course, knowing his history, many expected to hear that this is a consequence of a new TRON or Sun-related move.

However, to the surprise of the entire community, the young CEO claims to have no idea what attracted so many people at the same time on April 19th.

I have no idea why ppl suddenly start to use #TRON. #TRX $TRX😆 https://t.co/wOMvddgpYr

He said as much in his recent tweet. However, while Sun claims to be completely clueless, he certainly seems satisfied by the new development.

No obvious reason for the users to come

Indeed, the cause of the increase in interest remains unknown. Sun did not share any particular announcement which could have inspired people to wish to join. The Tron Wallet did implement lower exchange rates and prices for small amounts of TRX (up to 10,000 TRX) when using Tron Wallet’s SWAP tool.

However, that’s about it. Meanwhile, the TRX itself is performing relatively badly, currently trading in the red with the rest of the market. The coin’s price sits at $0.012795, with a 3.68% drop in the last 24 hours.

TRX is currently the 16th largest crypto by market cap, which is at $853.21 million.

It is also worth noting that TRX did see a minor price growth over the weekend. It grew from $0.012870 on April 17th to its peak at $0.013376 on April 19th. After that, the coin started dropping back towards the support at $0.012800.
