Many online Telegram groups and trading sources have speculated today if YY Inc. is the partnership to be announced. The largest “competitor” in any way to Twitch, YY owns a massive Chinese live-streaming platform popular in China. Some quick information from their website included:

73m Mobile Monthly Active Users — US $1,232m 2016 Revenue

To say that this would be massive for Tron would be an understatement.

Several sources were also rumoring that perhaps Alibaba’s connection with AutoNavi could be driving towards a partnership with Tron. It is no secret that Justin Sun has a close connection with Alibaba developers, continuing to scout and staff his team. Justin himself, considered a protege’ of Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, has posted pictures on social media with the Chinese businessman.

TRX’s possible partnership with AutoNavi would immediately propel Tron into further application development, supplementing AutoNavi’s data and applications for auto navigation in China. Google Maps currently utilizes AutoNavi data for it’s directions service in that country.

$MOMO

A few sources, namely from Reddit, began to speculate if perhaps MOMO was the partnership deal in the works. $MOMO, while not the most prestigious of the nearly 86 Chinese NASDAQ traded stocks available, still remains a large contender in the mobile application development arena.

The core product, MOMO appears to be a hybrid dating / local social engagement tool to talk, chat and interact with users within your vicinity. You can view it on the US Google Play store as well:

We can envision several plausible use cases for MOMO, very well suited to a cryptocurrency.

Tencent Holdings

I have to admit, the idea of TRX partnering with Tencent is an absolutely staggering concept. While out of all possible Chinese publicly traded companies available, Tencent Holdings would be a veritable atomic bomb of positive reinforcement for the TRX brand. If you are unfamiliar with Tencent, some of the IP’s that they own or own majority stakes in include WeChat, Clash of Clans and QQ.com. The list of applications and projects is enormous as you follow the chain of connection between companies.

While this may be one of the largest options for the partnership, we won’t keep our fingers crossed for too long on this one.
