In a surprising turn of events, Tron, the blockchain network founded by Justin Sun, has outperformed Ethereum in revenue generation. Over the past 24 hours, Tron recorded $1.42 million in revenue, while Ethereum trailed behind at $844,276.
This development follows Ethereum's recent milestone—the launch of spot Ether ETFs in the U.S. market on July 23, which attracted a massive $2.2 billion in inflows. Despite this capital influx, Ethereum's fee revenue over the past week was approximately $600,000 lower than Tron's.
