With a minimum of 18 ‘YES’ votes required for the proposal to pass, it is likely to be approved without much opposition.
Impact on TRX and Market Competition
The proposal was introduced earlier in August as a means to boost Tron’s competitiveness and ecosystem growth.
“Currently, transaction fees on TRON are rising, necessitating a reduction to enhance TRON’s competitive edge and ecosystem development.”
Tron is the second-largest network in terms of stablecoin dominance, handling over $82 billion, second only to Ethereum.
Tron has become popular for stablecoin transfers due to its low cost, especially in emerging markets like South America, Asia, and Africa.
However, recent data shows that Tron has been more expensive for stablecoin transfers compared to Ethereum in the past six months.

The proposal aims to keep Tron competitive, especially with Ethereum’s lower transaction fees attracting more users.
However, implementing the proposal may lead to an increase in TRX supply by over 66 million tokens, impacting TRX price in the short term.

Despite the potential short-term impact, lower fees could attract more transactions and aid in future TRX burning, offsetting the inflationary effect.
“Lowering transaction fees could stimulate increased transaction volume, potentially boosting future TRX burning.”
There has been a noticeable accumulation trend for TRX by whales in recent days, although price action remains stagnant near $0.34 while awaiting direction from Bitcoin.
