TRON Adds Self-Custody Asset Support to Backpack Wallet

TRON DAO announced that its network has been integrated with Backpack Wallet, bringing TRON-based assets and applications to the wallet’s mobile app and browser extension. NewsBTC, the sole outlet supplied, reports that users can send, receive and hold assets including USDT on TRON’s TRC-20 standard while retaining full self-custody. The integration also allows users to bridge assets between TRON and other blockchains supported by Backpack. According to the report, that access extends to decentralized finance applications and other dApps across the TRON ecosystem, connecting the network with a wallet designed to serve multiple chains. NewsBTC attributes the announcement to TRON DAO, a community-governed organization focused on decentralization through blockchain technology and dApps. The supplied coverage does not provide a launch schedule, implementation timetable or additional third-party confirmation, leaving the integration details grounded in TRON DAO’s announcement as reported by NewsBTC. Live market data show TRON at $0.317524, down 0.86% over 24 hours but up 0.03% over seven days, with a $30.18 billion market capitalization. Tether is at $0.999119, up 0.01% over 24 hours and 0.02% over seven days; its market capitalization is $176.89 billion, while DeFiLlama reports a circulating supply worth $176.66 billion. The broader crypto market capitalization is $2.56 trillion, with the market broadly lower, Bitcoin down 1.58% over 24 hours and the Fear & Greed Index at 29. The integration’s principal significance is therefore practical wallet access rather than a reported immediate market reaction.
