- Proposal 108 took effect on November 2 and changes how the TRON Virtual Machine handles selected smart-contract storage operations.
- TRON DAO reported $2.21 trillion in Q3 stablecoin settlement and $93.88 billion in combined USDT and USDD supply.
- The latest Investing.com reading showed TRX at 0.322227 USD, while the verified November 3 UTC close was 0.32171 USD.
The TRON price is being assessed against a network upgrade and continued stablecoin use rather than a sharp standalone market move. Governance Proposal 108 took effect on November 2 after approval by TRON Super Representatives, changing how selected storage operations are handled by the TRON Virtual Machine. Crypto.news reported that a follow-up network check recorded 26 approval addresses and confirmed activation of the new parameter.
Proposal 108 targets contract reliability
The change activates the ALLOW_OPTIMIZE_TVM_STORAGE_KEY parameter, according to the report, and is intended to improve the reliability of smart-contract storage and execution. The upgrade does not directly change TRX supply, staking rewards or transaction fees. Any economic effect therefore depends on later network activity and market demand, rather than following automatically from the technical activation.
Stablecoin activity remains the main context
TRON DAO said its Q3 2026 report recorded $2.21 trillion in stablecoin settlement, with average daily settlement rising 3.9 percent from the second quarter to $24.05 billion. Combined USDT and USDD supply reached $93.88 billion, up 5.5 percent from Q2, while average rolling monthly active addresses increased 9.8 percent to 18 million. The same report said network fees totaled $701.4 million in the quarter and that the average daily transaction fee declined from $0.668 to $0.643. These figures describe network usage and infrastructure activity; they do not by themselves establish a future TRX price direction. The data come from the TRON DAO Q3 report.
TRX remains near 0.32 USD
The latest available Investing.com page reading showed TRX at 0.322227 USD, with a reported market capitalization of 30.59 billion USD, 24-hour volume of 531.31 million USD and 95.03 billion TRX in circulation. The latest verified UTC daily close, recorded for November 3 by Maketo, was 0.32171 USD. On that basis, the latest reading was 0.16 percent higher. The difference remains below the 5 percent threshold for making the daily move the main news angle.
For investors, the central question is whether the storage improvement is followed by measurable application growth while stablecoin settlement remains elevated. The upgrade improves a network function, but its effect on token demand remains unproven. Further developments can be followed on the TRON topic page.
