What is Tron? Tron's mission is to build a truly decentralized internet and aims to be the largest blockchain-based operating system in the world, known as the TRON protocol. The TRON protocol will offer high scalability, high availability, and high throughput computing to serve decentralized applications via smart contracts. Ethereum EVM-based smart contracts will be compatible and deployable on the TRON network as such Solidity developers do not have to rewrite their applications.  Why Tron? Since TRON protocol does not rely on proof of work or mining, instead governed by nodes located around the world, it is decentralized while providing high throughput for transactions on the blockchain. This is suitable for dapps that require high speed transactions especially games. There are a number of tokens already issued on the TRON network and the decentralized exchanges TRX.market has launched.  On July 24th 2018, TRON acquired BitTorrent, one of the largest P2P file sharing protocol. As a result of the acquisition, BitTorrent Token (BTT) was launched as the cryptocurrency to power the economics on the BitTorrent network. The Token will be used to inceltivize file sharing and storage within the network.

Tron

TRX is trending amidst widespread community discussion about its deepening ties with Tether and Rumble for creator payments and cloud services, reinforcing its position as a key network for efficient stablecoin transfers globally. Investors also note its perceived market stability and recent integration with Coinbase's Base network, furthering its ecosystem reach.

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency with a value meant to mirror the value of the U.S. dollar. The idea was to create a stable cryptocurrency that can be used like digital dollars. Coins that serve this purpose of being a stable dollar substitute are called “stable coins.” Tether is the most popular stable coin and even acts as a dollar replacement on many popular exchanges! According to their site, Tether converts cash into digital currency, to anchor or “tether” the value of the coin to the price of national currencies like the US dollar, the Euro, and the Yen. Like other cryptos it uses blockchain. Unlike other cryptos, it is [according to the official Tether site] “100% backed by USD” (USD is held in reserve). The primary use of Tether is that it offers some stability to the otherwise volatile crypto space and offers liquidity to exchanges who can’t deal in dollars and with banks (for example to the sometimes controversial but leading exchange Bitfinex)  The digital coins are issued by a company called Tether Limited that is governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, according to the legal part of its website. It is incorporated in Hong Kong. It has emerged that Jan Ludovicus van der Velde is the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, which has been accused of being involved in the price manipulation of bitcoin, as well as tether. Many people trading on exchanges, including Bitfinex, will use tether to buy other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Tether Limited argues that using this method to buy virtual currencies allows users to move fiat in and out of an exchange more quickly and cheaply. Also, exchanges typically have rocky relationships with banks, and using Tether is a way to circumvent that.  USDT is fairly simple to use. Once on exchanges like Poloniex or Bittrex, it can be used to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It can be easily transferred from an exchange to any Omni Layer enabled wallet. Tether has no transaction fees, although external wallets and exchanges may charge one. In order to convert USDT to USD and vise versa through the Tether.to Platform, users must pay a small fee. Buying and selling Tether for Bitcoin can be done through a variety of exchanges like the ones mentioned previously or through the Tether.to platform, which also allows the conversion between USD to and from your bank account.

Tether

Tether is trending due to its deepening strategic ties and significant ownership in Rumble, fostering community discussions around its influence on the platform's growth and enabling crypto payments for creators, while ongoing debates persist regarding its market cap and stability.

Steel ETF (SLX) Hits New 52-Week High

SLX hits a 52-week high, up 57% from its low, boosted by regulatory relief and strong sector momentum.

Washington Just Handed Steelmakers a Huge Win: ETFs to Gain

Trump's move easing EPA rules boosts the steel supply chain, setting ETFs like XME up for firmer pricing power and steadier volumes.   

United States Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro said Thursday that Washington will maintain tariffs on steel and aluminum with no exemptions for the European Union.“There will be no exemptions, no exclusions for steel and aluminum tariffs,” Navarro told reporters. He noted that the U.S. added more than 400 new products to the tariff list this week to curb manipulation and circumvention. “Every time we try to give an exemption or exclusion to one of our allies, they abuse it totally. We learned that it was a slippery slope,” Navarro said, recalling Trump’s previous term in office.Navarro also praised the administration’s 15% tariff on cars, describing it as a cornerstone of Trump’s trade strategy with Europe. “Anybody who criticizes Trump’s policy has to look at the president’s magnificent achievement in dealing with the EU,” he said.His comments come after the U.S. and EU&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-eu-announce-tariffs-autos-pharma/chsSuh2Rdid">issued</a> a joint statement earlier on Thursday, formalizing the trade deal announced back in July. The statement also included the possibility of lowering the 15% tariffs on cars, but only if Europe takes steps to lower tariffs on imported U.S. goods as promised.“In many ways I can’t think of a deal more important than the one with the EU. It is, after all, one of the largest entities in the world. It’s important not just economically but strategically, yet for many, many years it has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S.—consistently higher tariffs, consistently higher non-tariff barriers,” Navarro added.U.S. markets were trending lower ahead of Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLX">VanEck Steel ETF</a> (SLX) fell 0.5% in afternoon trade, and the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/IYM">iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF</a> (IYM) edged 0.1% lower. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around SLX and IYM trended in ‘neutral’ territory.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-nearly-500-m-civil-fraud-penalty-tossed-by-new-york-appeals-court/chsS6vHRdij">Trump’s Nearly $500M Civil Fraud Penalty Tossed By New York Appeals Court</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The U.K. is racing to finalize a trade agreement with President Donald Trump to avoid higher U.S. steel tariffs ahead of the July 9 deadline.“We are working with the U.S. to get this over the line as soon as possible,” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesperson, Tom Wells, told reporters on Monday, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/uk-races-to-get-us-to-cut-steel-tariffs-ahead-of-key-deadline">cited</a> by Bloomberg. “The best thing we can do for industry is to get this deal implemented.”&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLX">VanEck Steel ETF (SLX)</a> was down more than 1.3% in morning trade. The ETF has gained nearly 20% this year and 4% over the past 12 months. Despite the downswing, retail sentiment on Stocktwits around SLX improved to ‘bullish’ territory from ‘neutral’ a week ago.&nbsp;At stake is the U.K.’s exemption from a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum exports to the U.S. The country is currently subject to a 25% duty, but that could double unless the trade deal between the two countries, known as the U.S.-U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD), signed in May, is fully implemented before next week’s deadline.Steel exports to the U.S. are a key part of the U.K. economy, with the American market being its second-largest customer. Trump has warned that if the U.K. is found to be non-compliant with the EPD, tariffs “on or after July 9” may be raised.In February, Trump instated 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. In June, those were doubled for most countries – but the U.K. received a temporary reprieve due to the EPD. Unless a final agreement is reached, that exemption may be lifted.In the U.S., steelmakers have generally backed the tariffs, arguing they help shield American jobs and protect the industry from underpriced imports. The American Iron and Steel Institute said the duties help guard against market disruptions caused by global oversupply.U.S. equity markets opened in the red on Monday even after the Trump administration hinted that the July 9 tariff deadline could be extended to August 1. The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> edged 0.25% lower, while the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco Trust Series 1 (QQQ)</a> ETF, which tracks the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, was down 0.4%.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-america-party-to-accept-bitcoin-tesla-ceo-says-fiat-is-hopeless/chFtkIIR577">Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ To Accept Bitcoin – Tesla CEO Says ‘Fiat Is Hopeless’</a>

Shares of U.S. Steel ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday following the completion of its takeover by Japan-based Nippon Steel, marking the end of the storied American manufacturer’s independent run.This newly formed alliance establishes a global steelmaking force, promising over $11 billion in investments across U.S. Steel facilities by 2028.&nbsp;The strategic plan is designed to protect and expand more than 100,000 jobs in states such as Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Alabama, Indiana, and Arkansas.U.S. Steel will continue to operate under its historic name and maintain its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.&nbsp;As part of the finalized agreement, the companies have also signed a National Security Agreement (NSA) with the U.S. government, which secures specific operational and structural guarantees to safeguard national interests.Under the NSA, the company’s executive leadership and board will remain predominantly American.
