Tron major upgrade imminent: since november trx has surged by 2-fold

TRON’s major update – the Odyssey 3.5 hard fork, is scheduled for today – February 28th. The price of TRX has been increasing ever since November, almost doubling up since then.

Looking at TRX price since November 2018, we can see that it has almost doubled throughout the period. What is more, the price has gained over 2971 percent since it started to trade on Binance in November 2017.

A Precursor for TRX Price Going Up

Even though recently the price has spiked below the $0.0240 support, it managed to find support at $0.0227. As Live bitcoin News reported, there is a short-term contracting triangle put in place with resistance at $0.0248 on the 4-hours chart.

As reported, the price could correct higher if there is a clean break above the resistance level of $0.250. At the time of this writing, the TRX price is $0.0239, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It’s worth noting that TRX has managed to establish itself as the 9th largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization.

Typically, hard forks are considered to be a bullish sign and they are a precursor for the price of the asset to go up. Naturally, throughout this prolonged bear market, the sentiment might be rather different.

TRON’s Odyssey 3.5 – What to Expect?

Tron’s Odyssey 3.5 is a scheduled network upgrade, also commonly referred to as a hard fork. It is supposed to take place today, February 28th. Interestingly enough, Ethereum’s Constantinople update is also scheduled for today.

With any major update of the kind along the horizon, it’s natural to wonder what would that mean for the network.

According to a fairly recent announcement of Justin Sun, TRON’s founder, the Odyssey 3.5 hard fork will introduce the following improvements to the network:

  • 50 percent performance upgrade compared to current levels
  • Multi-signature and account managing
  • Better Virtual Machine safety
  • Event server for decentralized applications
  • Dynamic energy adjustment to real-time network performance

According to a fairly recent report by Dapp Review, TRON is also marking a staggering surge in terms of decentralized applications based on its network.

Throughout the last month, from January to February, DApps based on TRON’s network has increased by more than 239 percent. Their number effectively skyrocketed from 18,500 in January to 62,724 in February. This means that the TRON ecosystem also saw 44,224 new users added to it in just one month.

It’s also worth noting, however, that even though it’s the day of the hard fork, the price hasn’t moved that much. In fact, it has marked a slight decrease in the past 24-hours.

What do you think of TRX’s performance? Do you think that Odyssey 3.5 will potentially cause a surge in its price? Or do you think it might cause a decrease? Don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below!

U.S. Senate Mulls Reporting Requirements for Cryptocurrencies

USSenateBill

American bitcoin holders may soon have to report their holding to the United States government.

First introduced on May 25, 2015, by Sen. Chuck Grassley [R-IA], Senate Bill S.1241, the
“Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017,” can have serious implications for those involved in the cryptocurrency space. The hearing for S.1241 was held with virtually no public notice on November 28, 2017; the full two-hour hearing can be viewed here.

Currently, the definition of “financial institution” includes banks, trust companies, credit unions, currency exchanges and the like. But according to Section 5312(a) of title 31, the new bill would amend the definition of “financial institution” to include “an issuer, redeemer, or cashier of prepaid access devices, digital currency, or any digital exchanger or tumbler of digital currency.” 

This is most specifically embedded in Section 13:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D-CA] said in her opening remarks of the hearing, “The bill criminalizes intentionally concealing ownership or control of a bank account.” Although, during the hearing, no further clarifications were given as to the effects this would have on the cryptocurrency community, based on the amended definition of “financial institution,” it would seem that the bill would criminalize anyone intentionally concealing ownership or control of a digital currency or exchange account. While there is no finalized bill yet, the implication would be that cryptocurrency holders need to fill in federal registration forms for tax disclosure, quarterly reporting and more.

Notably, while the purpose of the bill and hearing had to do with adding digital currencies and exchanges to the definition of financial institutions, there was almost no discussion on the topic other than briefly in reference to drug cartels using them to launder money. For example, nowhere in the testimony by Coinbase board of directors member Kathryn Haun Rodriguez does she mention digital currencies or exchanges, and at no time was she asked any questions about them.

Unsurprisingly, the bill is receiving pushback from some cryptocurrency holders. Activists on Reddit have started a social media campaign in opposition to the bill, and are suggesting others to tweet: “@senjudiciary that #Bitcoiners are not #Crooks Remove #DigitalCurrencies from Section 13 of S1241.” Others are contacting their senators directly.
