Justin Sun’s TRON Upgrade Sends TRX Price Soaring Despite Twitter Hack

The post Justin Sun’s TRON Upgrade Sends TRX Price Soaring Despite Twitter Hack appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News One announcement can change a lot in crypto. On May 3, 2025, Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, revealed a significant upgrade to the TRON ecosystem. The news caused a surge in TRX prices, but it was also overshadowed by a security breach: the official TRON DAO Twitter account was hacked, and scammers used it to steal user funds. TRON’s Major Update Sends TRX Price Skyrocketing Sun’s announcement about the TRON upgrade led to an immediate market reaction. Within the first hour, TRX saw a 7.2% price increase, rising from $0.122 to $0.130. Trading volumes surged by 43%, with 1.2 billion TRX traded across major exchanges like Binance, OKX, and KuCoin. On top of this, on-chain data from TronScan showed a 15% jump in transaction volume, with over 5.8 million transactions processed on the TRON network by 1:00 PM UTC. These numbers highlight the strong market interest and growing adoption of TRON’s latest improvements. Hack of TRON DAO Twitter While TRON’s upgrade grabbed the spotlight, a more troubling issue emerged: the TRON DAO’s official Twitter account was hacked. The hackers used the account to promote a scam, attempting to steal funds from unsuspecting users. In response, Justin Sun acted quickly, reaching out to crypto exchange OKX and urging them to freeze any assets linked to the scam. He emphasized the need for swift action to prevent further exploitation. “We trust that OKX will act swiftly and responsibly, ensuring that its platform does not become a safe haven for scam proceeds,” Sun said in his post on X Law Enforcement Involved in the Investigation Justin Sun didn’t stop at contacting OKX. He also involved law enforcement, sharing critical details to help trace and recover the stolen funds. Sun directly addressed the scammers, urging them to return the stolen assets: “To the scammers involved: we strongly urge you to return the stolen funds immediately. We commit to redistributing all recovered funds back to the community. There is still a chance to do the right thing,” he said. The funds have been traced to a specific wallet address, and two transaction hashes were shared to aid the investigation. Can TRON Overcome the Challenges? TRON now faces the dual challenge of advancing its technology while managing the fallout from this hack. The upgrade brought a positive market response, but the breach highlights the ongoing security risks in the crypto space. Sun’s leadership will likely be under the microscope as the situation unfolds. However, TRON’s quick response to the hack shows a commitment to protecting its users. The balance between innovation and security will be crucial for TRON’s future.
