Tron Price Prediction: DeFi Summer, $2M in Rewards

Tron (TRX) traded at around $0.335 late on Friday evening, October 2, 2026 (according to CoinGecko). Hardly any large crypto asset is moving as little right now: since September 2, every daily close has sat between $0.325 and $0.345 (CoinMarketCap). On Sunday the network finally sees some movement, even if the price does not at first. The third round of the DeFi Summer rewards campaign begins. For the Tron price prediction, the question is whether campaigns of this kind can pull TRX out of its range.

What DeFi Summer S3 offers

From October 4 at 8:00 a.m. Singapore time, which is 2:00 a.m. on Sunday in central Europe, raised interest rates apply for 60 days to four assets of the Tron network: TRX, the stablecoin USDD and the tokens JST and SUN. The reward pool comes to $2 million, and participation runs through the lending market JustLend DAO, including via the DeFi function of Binance Wallet, as ChainCatcher reports. Anyone who took part in the second round does not have to sign up again.

Measured against the size of the network, the pool is small. TRX alone carries a market capitalisation of around $31.8 billion (CoinGecko). Spread over 60 days, $2 million is a lure for deposits into the lending markets, not a sum that moves the TRX price directly. The effect could be more noticeable on the smaller tokens: JST has roughly quadrupled within a year, while SUN is down around a third over the same period.
