Tron [TRX], the twelfth largest cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap, noted significant growth over the past week. However, it fell as the market started to crumble. The price of the coin and its cousin, BitTorrent [BTT], was expected to soar with the announcement of BitTorrent File System [BTFS] protocol. However, the tokens fell victim to the market trend.

In order to motivate the Tron community, noted proponent Misha Lederman, informed them about Tron’s node count reaching its six month high. The proponent said,

“#TRON node count reaches highest number in 6 months as it surpasses 1452 online nodes”

He also informed crypto-enthusiasts that Tron’s nodes were available on ‘every’ continent and that most number of nodes were in the United States of America [USA], China, and Germany. The Foundation aimed at incorporating BitTorrent’s BTFS to achieve decentralized storage.

BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing platform, would integrate BTFS to enable its users to share and host storage on their personal computers. Even though mainnet release for the protocol would be released in Q3 of 2019, Tron Foundation would use it to power its DApps.

On May 31, Tron also celebrated its mainnet launch anniversary, with CEO Justin Sun stating,

“Looking back on the journey, it was not easy for #TRON to achieve so much in only 1 year. We look forward to building a stronger #TRON Ecosystem and making more differences in the #blockchain industry. #TRX $TRX”

At press time, Tron was valued at $0.0315 with a market cap of $2.10 billion. The 24-hour trading volume of the coin was $1.02 billion and fell by 10.43% over the day. Over the past seven days, the coin fell by 11.98% and continued to fall by a minimal 0.01%, within the hour.
