NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International blockchain foundation TRON announced today a deal with Shift Markets to bring TRX trading into the currency markets, the largest market in the world. TRX is now being offered on nine brokers in nine different countries, and growing. The first UK regulated exchange to offer TRX will begin trading in coming weeks. Additionally, JM Financial, a leading regulated FX broker in India, will be the first in the region to offer TRX next week.
