TRX/USDC trading pairs are now available on Aerodrome, fueling cross-chain liquidity in the TRON ecosystem
Geneva, Switzerland — March 19, 2026 — TRON DAOa community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the expansion of the Internet through blockchain technology and applications (dApps), today announced the launch of the TRX/USDC trading pair on Airport locationthe leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Base. This brings TRX, the TRON network’s native resource token, to the rapidly expanding DeFi (DeFi) system by using LayerZero’s cross-chain infrastructure. The merger connects TRON’s established blockchain network with one of the fastest growing DeFi environments, opening up new opportunities for traders and financiers across the ecosystem.
The TRX/USDC pair enables TRON’s native utility token, TRX, to trade directly within Base’s DeFi markets. Powered by LayerZero’s interoperability infrastructure, the integration allows assets to flow seamlessly between TRON and Base, expanding access to liquidity while reducing the fragmentation that often limits cross-chain activity.
As the leading DEX on Base, Aerodrome processes more than 50% of the network’s DEX trade value, supported by fixed spending pools and flexible payment methods that attract deep payments to both retail and institutional participants. The platform has become a hub for cross-chain integration, helping to expand DeFi’s access to flexible liquidity that is not limited to a single network.
“Aerodrome stands out as an important source of income, and we are excited to see TRON become part of its growing ecosystem,” said Sam Elfarra, TRON DAO Public Spokesperson. “This partnership expands TRON’s reach and strengthens our shared vision for a more connected and efficient DeFi world.”
“We are very excited to welcome TRX trading and liquidity to the Aerodrome and Base ecosystem,” said Alex Cutler, Contributor at Aerodrome. “With the TRX/USDC pair now live and eligible for issuance, we are creating a powerful bridge for capitalization between two leading blockchain ecosystems.”
The collaboration improves accessibility for TRON users while strengthening Aerodrome’s position as a leading cross-chain liquidity hub. Since TRON is now integrated into Base, the partnership supports the continued expansion of the ecosystem on both networks.
The TRX/USDC pool is now live on Aerodrome, open for trading and funding.
