Backpack Exchange has launched spot trading and perpetual contracts for TRX, the native token of the TRON network, according to an announcement from TRON DAO. The move gives users in eligible jurisdictions access to both markets for TRX through Backpack’s regulated trading platform.

Exchange listing broadens TRX access

TRON DAO said the new listing expands market access for TRX by adding the token to Backpack’s existing trading venue. Backpack offers spot markets, perpetuals and other trading products through a single platform, which the announcement described as compliant and regulated.

The exchange says it supports users in more than 150 countries. TRON DAO also cited Backpack’s cumulative trading volume at more than $400 billion.

Focus on spot and derivatives markets

The addition covers both direct spot trading in TRX and perpetual contracts tied to the token. According to the announcement, that gives Backpack users in eligible markets a way to access TRON exposure without relying on multiple platforms or separate custody arrangements.

TRON DAO presented the listing as part of a broader effort to increase the number of venues where users and institutions can access TRX. The organization said the collaboration supports TRON’s role in digital asset ownership, trading and settlement.

TRON highlights network scale

In comments included in the announcement, TRON DAO community spokesperson Sam Elfarra pointed to the network’s scale, saying TRON has processed more than 14 billion transactions and serves 3.5 million daily users. He described the listing as a way to connect that infrastructure with a regulated exchange environment.

TRON DAO describes itself as a community-governed organization focused on decentralizing the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications. It said the blockchain has grown significantly since its mainnet launch in May 2018.

Network metrics and broader backdrop

The announcement cited TRONSCAN data showing that, as of July 2026, the TRON blockchain had recorded more than 395 million total user accounts, over 14 billion total transactions and more than $27 billion in total value locked. TRON DAO also said the network until recently hosted the largest circulating supply of USD Tether, with the current figure exceeding $90 billion.

The Backpack listing does not come with additional details in the announcement on rollout timing beyond the stated launch, fee structure or specific regional exclusions. But it adds another trading venue for TRX at a time when exchanges continue to compete on offering both spot and derivatives access under regulated frameworks.
