🚨2026 Milestone at the start of the year! On January 14, the global options leader @DeribitOfficial officially launched $TRX USDC settled options (simultaneously launching AVAX options), marking a key step for Deribit in expanding beyond BTC/ETH to mainstream public chain assets, with profound implications for TRX and the TRON ecosystem!

🔥 Key Highlights | Why does Deribit firmly choose TRX?
✅ Platform Status: Top global options trading volume, absolute leader in institutional derivatives, reputation and professionalism both online
✅ Contract Design: 100% USDC cash settlement, 10,000 TRX per contract, four expiration structures (2 days + 2 weeks + 1 month + 1 quarter), consistent with perpetual contracts settlement, maximizing capital efficiency & hedging convenience
✅ Ecosystem Confidence: TRON 359 million accounts + 12 billion in cumulative trading + 24 billion TVL, USDT circulation once exceeded 82.5 billion, one of the most active public chains globally, highly recognized by institutions

💥 Three Direct Impacts on TRX Token
Short-term | Event-driven capital influx, increased trading volume + volatility, strong support at $0.30, options improve price discovery, stabilize extreme unilateral market movements
Trading | Unlocking multi-strategy gameplay (long/short speculation / volatility arbitrage / spot hedging), attracting institutions + market makers, comprehensive liquidity upgrade
Long-term | Transition from "high-throughput payment token" to "institutional-grade investable asset," expected to boost market cap & valuation in 12-24 months

🔴 Deep Value of the TRON Network
✅ Surge in institutional penetration: Deribit’s core users are professional traders/institutions, can gain exposure without holding underlying assets, indirectly channeling flows into DeFi / stablecoins / GameFi sectors
✅ Ecosystem attractiveness: Core tokens top derivatives platforms, branded as "serious investment-grade," attracting new projects/developers/liquidity
✅ Reinforced stablecoin narrative: USDC settlement aligns with TRON’s leading stablecoin positioning, solidifying cross-border payments + on-chain settlement as core advantages

💡 Summary: TRON’s critical leap from "practical public chain" to "financialized ecosystem"!
It’s not just listing tokens, but implementing professional risk control tools, opening institutional entry channels, and strengthening pricing/narrative authority. The most core catalyst at the start of 2026—short-term liquidity benefits, long-term institutional acceleration!
