Ready for Institutional Investment: TRON (TRX) Hard Fork Will Enable Features That Meet Institutional Needs

Tron (TRX), the blockchain and dapp development platform, ranked 9th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is undergoing a major hard fork that will include multiple upgrades on February 28, 2019.

The upgrade is dubbed the 3.5 hard fork and will include major performance features and improvements including multi-signature, account management, and custody protocols.

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron and CEO of the Tron Foundation, announced the upgrade and its entailing upgrades via Twitter:

Tron (TRX) Hard Fork Is Necessary for Institutional Investment

According to Sun, the Tron Foundation has received numerous demands from hedge funds, mainstream investors, and financial institutions.

The 3.5 hard fork purportedly fills these demands by including 3 key improvements: multi-signature, account management, and custody protocols, which are necessary for institutional investment.

Explaining the reasoning for the hard fork, Sun responded to his prior tweet:

Tron (TRX) Price Performance

Per the announcement of the 3.5 hard fork, the price of Tron (TRX) has reacted positively, seeing a 1-day gain of over 8% from $0.024 to $0.027 on February 24. However, the gains have since subsided and are again hovering around the $0.024 price range.
