VALR Expands Services with TRON Network Support and New TRX Staking Product

Johannesburg, South Africa, May 20th, 2024

VALR, the Pantera-backed crypto exchange, is pleased to announce its support for the TRON network, facilitating quick and easy stablecoin transactions. Additionally, VALR now offers an on-chain staking product for TRON (TRX), providing an annual percentage rate (APR) of up to 3%.

VALR’s new TRX staking product addresses the needs of users looking to capitalize on staking opportunities without directly interacting with DeFi protocols. VALR’s staking product is a liquid staking solution. This means users can stake, unstake, and restake at any moment, with rewards distributed hourly, enabling them to earn compound yields efficiently. All these features are available within the VALR platform, providing a single-stop solution for users.

VALR already offers similar on-chain staking solutions for Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) and plans to extend these products to more protocols in the near future.
