- Tron‘s official materials repeatedly claim it is a “decentralized blockchain platform.”
- A report indicates that founder Justin Sun owns more TRX tokens than all other holders combined.
- Major crypto exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bitget continue to describe TRON as decentralized despite this concentration of ownership.
- The network’s claimed Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is reportedly non-existent.
- Exchanges holding TRX, such as Bitget which purchased $10 million of the token, stand to benefit if its value increases.
Founder Justin Sun and official TRON documentation proclaim that the network will “decentralize the web.” Consequently, many cryptocurrency businesses parrot this claim in their listings for the TRX token. However, one person reportedly owns the majority of all TRX in existence, fundamentally undermining its decentralized structure.
Despite Sun’s majority ownership, Binance makes the claim that “TRON is governed through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).” Unfortunately for Binance and its users, this reported DAO does not actually exist. Meanwhile, OKX claims TRON pushes for a “more inclusive, decentralized digital economy.”
Bitget similarly claims TRON is “a peer-to-peer decentralized currency.” The exchange previously announced acquiring $10 million of TRX and cited a “community-governed DAO.” Since Bitget owns TRX, it financially benefits if the token’s value rises. KuCoin and Sun-owned HTX also describe the system as decentralized in their listings.
