Surging fees, booming transactions, and rising burns suggest TRX may be leading a selective altseason.

Tron just flipped Ethereum in transaction fees - Is Bitcoin next?

Key takeaways

With TRX decoupling from Bitcoin and continuing to burn supply at a faster rate, the network may be an early indicator of a more selective, quality-focused altseason in 2025.


In a surprising twist, Tron [TRX] has matched Bitcoin’s [BTC] average transaction fees and even outpaced Ethereum [ETH]; a rare feat in the crypto ecosystem.

This unexpected convergence comes as Tron experiences a notable surge in on-chain activity, all while decoupling from Bitcoin’s broader price trends.

While some may dismiss it as an anomaly, others are asking a bigger question: is this the sign of a more selective altseason in 2025?

Tron flips Ethereum in fees as usage and burns accelerate

Tron’s network fees have surged to an average of $1.29, placing it on par with Bitcoin and ahead of Ethereum for the first time. This milestone indicates genuine growth in on-chain demand.

Despite the increase in fees, user activity has remained resilient, with monthly transaction volumes crossing 8.5 million and cumulative transactions topping 14 billion.

This sustained usage is also fueling a higher TRX burn rate, tightening supply and supporting price momentum.

Tron hints at a selective altseason

A closer look at market structure revealed that Tron had not only outperformed Bitcoin since March but is now moving independently.

Historically, such de-correlations have preceded altseasons, where capital rotates into higher-beta assets. However, this time feels different.

Instead of a broad altcoin rally, on-chain data and market saturation suggest a narrower phase, where only select tokens like TRX thrive.

If this pattern holds, Tron could be acting as a leading indicator of a more selective, quality-driven altseason in 2025.

Momentum stalls, but bulls still in control

Tron’s rally appears to be cooling off, but technical indicators suggest bullish strength remains intact.

The RSI was at 65.69 — hovering below overbought territory — indicating room for further upside.

Meanwhile, the MACD remained in positive territory with a modest bullish crossover, and the OBV was steady near 97.38 billion, showing sustained buying pressure.

While recent candles show indecision after a strong run-up, the lack of sharp sell-offs show market confidence.

If TRX can hold above the $0.30 support, this consolidation phase could act as a springboard for another leg higher, potentially confirming altseason leadership.
