USD1 Stablecoin Surges on TRON: $23M Mint Follows Game-Changing US Legislation
TRON just got a $23 million boost—and regulators didn’t even blink. The USD1 stablecoin’s latest mint rides the wave of a landmark US law, proving once again that crypto moves faster than bureaucracy.
Why TRON? Speed, cost, and a growing DeFi ecosystem make it the go-to for stablecoin action. The network’s low fees and high throughput are catnip for issuers looking to scale—while traditional finance still struggles with settlement times.
Stablecoins: the ‘boring’ crypto that actually gets used. While speculators chase the next meme coin, these dollar-pegged workhorses quietly dominate real-world transactions. This mint isn’t just growth—it’s a bet that regulated crypto is here to stay.
Watch for more issuers to jump on TRON. With clear(ish) US rules now in play, the race is on to capture the next wave of institutional money. Just don’t expect Wall Street to thank the degens who built the infrastructure.
Tron’s USD1 Expansion Gains Momentum
CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn highlighted that the August 6, 2025, minting of $23 million in USD1 on the Tron blockchain was the first issuance to take place under the newly enacted GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, 2025. This landmark legislation established the first federal framework for stablecoins in the United States, introducing strict standards aimed at ensuring stability, transparency, and investor protection.
The GENIUS Act mandates that all stablecoins maintain a 1:1 backing with US dollars or US Treasury securities, can only be issued by authorized financial institutions, and must publish monthly reserve reports verified by independent audits. Additionally, issuers are required to implement robust KYC/AML measures and maintain the ability to freeze or seize tokens when necessary to comply with law enforcement requests.
While USD1 is still far smaller than leading stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), it has seen noticeable growth in market capitalization and transaction volume in recent weeks. This uptick reflects both the increased confidence stemming from regulatory clarity and the efficiency of Tron’s blockchain infrastructure.
Tron has firmly established itself as the second-largest network for stablecoin supply, with over $83.1 billion in circulation. Its low fees, high throughput, and strong adoption among payment and remittance platforms make it an attractive environment for stablecoin activity.
TRX Price Analysis: Bullish Momentum Near Yearly Highs
Tron’s native token, TRX, is showing sustained bullish momentum on the 3-day chart, currently trading at $0.3464 after a 2.39% gain. Price action reveals a consistent uptrend since April, with higher highs and higher lows supported by rising volume. TRX is now approaching resistance levels not seen since late 2024, signaling a potential breakout if buying pressure continues.
The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.2745 remains well above the 100-day SMA ($0.2517) and the 200-day SMA ($0.1901), confirming a strong bullish structure. The widening gap between these moving averages reflects strengthening momentum and investor confidence. Short-term pullbacks have been met with solid buying interest, suggesting that bulls remain in control.
If TRX breaks decisively above the current range, the next psychological target WOULD be $0.36, followed by potential moves toward $0.40. However, failure to clear resistance could trigger a minor correction toward the 50-day SMA, where strong technical support lies.
