Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has set an ambitious goal for Tron Inc. to join the Nasdaq 100 index within the next three years.

In a July 25 post on X (formerly Twitter), Sun revealed that Tron Inc. is actively working toward qualifying for inclusion in the tech-heavy index, which features companies like Apple, Google, and Nvidia.

According to him:

“The Nasdaq [listing] is just the starting point for our listing. The Nasdaq 100 Index, including Nvidia, Apple, and Google, is our target. We aim to become part of the Nasdaq 100 Index within three years—that’s the goal we’re pursuing!”

This announcement came just after Tron Inc. debuted on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. On July 24, Sun, serving as the company’s Global Advisor, rang the opening bell to mark the milestone. The firm trades under the ticker symbol “TRON,” reflecting its new identity and focus.

Tron Inc. emerged from a rebranding of SRM Entertainment, signaling a significant shift in business direction. The renamed firm has moved away from its roots in entertainment and is now focused on blockchain infrastructure, particularly the Tron ecosystem.

As part of its revised strategy, the new firm plans to build a portfolio centered around the native TRX asset, aligning its financial reserves with the network’s growth. This move supports Sun’s vision of positioning the company as a key player in the digital asset economy.

TRON’s ecosystem

This corporate evolution coincides with robust performance across the blockchain network.

According to a report by CryptoRank, TRON has maintained strong fundamentals throughout 2025, fueled by steady user growth and increased stablecoin activity.

In Q2 2025, the network processed over 784 million transactions, its second-highest on record, indicating sustained demand and user activity.

As a result, TRON secured a top-five spot among blockchain networks by transaction volume during the first half of 2025.

Notably, this heightened activity translated into significant financial success for the blockchain. According to the report, the network generated nearly $1 billion in on-chain revenue during Q2 2025, setting a new record.

The surge illustrates the network’s expanding utility and consistent usage across decentralized applications.
