Meanwhile, Tron is logging a record number of transactions on its new blockchain, moving 2,538,852 TRX on Thursday. The number of wallet addresses on the network is also steadily growing, with 32,293 new addresses created in the same 24-hour period.

Much of the growth is thanks to Tron’s successful gambling DApp TRONbet, which continues to push large volumes of TRX, according to Dapp Radar.

Finally, crypto exchange Coinbase is giving its customers a new way to track a long list of cryptocurrencies, including many that have yet to be added to the platform.

With the platform’s new watchlist feature, customers can now follow 50 coins, show their interest in the digital assets and track their progress.

“The crypto industry moves fast, and it can be hard to filter the signal from the noise every day. With watchlist, customers can click the star icon on any asset pages to indicate you’re interested in those cryptocurrencies, and your dashboard will feature key information about those assets on a new Following tab.”
