Key Takeaways 🗝️

Tron’s daring fee-cut proposal might just be the wizard’s hat trick it needs to outshine Ethereum’s pricey transactions. But beware! TRX supply could balloon faster than a troll’s ego after a compliment. 🧙♂️💨

Tron’s [TRX] audacious plan to halve transaction fees has been gathering more momentum than a dwarf with a shopping list before a feast. The voting deadline looms on the 29th of August, and the super representatives are sharpening their quills. 🖋️

At the time of scribbling, 20 super reps had given it a thumbs-up, while seven were still pondering whether to join the party or stay home with their cats. 🐱

With only 18 ‘YES’ votes needed out of 27, this proposal is sailing through smoother than a buttered-up goblin on a greased slide. 🧌🛝

Impact on TRX, Market Shenanigans

This proposal popped up earlier in August, with the team claiming it’s the secret sauce to ‘enhance Tron’s competitiveness’ and grow its ecosystem. Because, you know, nothing says “we’re serious” like slashing fees and hoping for the best. 🤞

“Currently, the transaction fees on TRON continue to rise, making it imperative to reduce fees in order to enhance TRON’s competitive advantage and promote the development of the ecosystem.” 🤑

For context, Tron is the second-biggest player in the stablecoin game, juggling over $82 billion. Only Ethereum [ETH] dares to stand in its way. But let’s face it, Ethereum’s been charging more than a dragon hoarding gold. 🐉💰

Tron became the go-to for stablecoin transfers, especially for USDT in places where people still think cryptocurrency is a type of pasta. But in early 2025, the tables turned, and Tron started charging more than a goblin at a toll bridge. 🌉

A quick peek by AMBCrypto revealed that Ethereum’s average transaction fee was $0.75, while Tron was demanding $1.70. That’s twice as much! Someone call the price police! 🚨

Back in 2024, Ethereum was charging $5 per transaction, but now it’s cheaper than a second-hand broomstick. This could lure users away from Tron faster than a pie cooling on a windowsill. 🥧

Unfortunately, there’s a catch. A big, inflationary catch. If the proposal passes, TRX supply will inflate by over 66 million tokens. That’s more bloat than a wizard after a bean feast. 🍺

This could send TRX prices tumbling faster than a novice wizard falling off a broom. But fear not! The team claims lower fees will attract more transactions, and eventually, they’ll burn tokens like a witch burning herbs. 🔥

“However, lowering transaction fees can stimulate increased transaction volume, potentially boosting future TRX burning scale.” 🧙♀️

Meanwhile, whales have been hoarding TRX like it’s going out of fashion. But the price is still stuck near $0.34, waiting for Bitcoin [BTC] to make up its mind. 🐳⏳
