TRON DAO has announced a historic milestone—USDT circulation on its blockchain has exceeded $80 billion, reinforcing its position as the top network for stablecoin activity. With over 63% of the global stablecoin market share and more than half of all USDT issued on TRON, the network continues to dominate in transaction volume, user activity, and institutional adoption. This article dives deep into TRON’s growth, its role in cross-border settlements, and its expanding ecosystem, including compliance initiatives and partnerships.
Why Has TRON Become the Go-To Network for USDT?
TRON’s blockchain has emerged as the preferred platform for USDT issuance and transactions, hosting over 60% of global stablecoin payment volume. The network’s scalability, low fees, and high-speed transactions make it ideal for digital dollar movements. Since January 2025, TRON’s USDT supply has surged by $20 billion, reaching $80 billion—a testament to its growing institutional and retail adoption. Daily metrics are staggering: 8.9 million transactions, 315 million user accounts, and $21.5 billion in USDT transfers. With 1 million unique wallets transacting USDT daily, tron also leads in active stablecoin wallet usage (28% of global addresses).
How Does TRON Compare to Other Stablecoin Networks?
TRON outshines competitors like ethereum and Solana in three key areas: scale, efficiency, and cost. While Ethereum struggles with high gas fees, TRON processes transactions for a fraction of the cost. Its daily transaction volume ($21.5B) dwarfs Ethereum’s $12B and Solana’s $7B. The network’s infrastructure supports 10x more accounts than Solana, and its TVL ($21B) rivals Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions. Below is a comparative snapshot:
| Metric | TRON | Ethereum | Solana |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDT Circulation | $80B | $45B | $15B |
| Daily Transactions | 8.9M | 1.2M | 3.4M |
| Avg. Transfer Fee | $0.01 | $1.50 | $0.25 |
What’s Driving TRON’s Institutional Adoption?
In April 2025, World Liberty Financial chose TRON to launch its USD1 stablecoin, signaling growing institutional confidence. The T3 FCU (a collaboration with Tether and TRM Labs) has frozen $160M in illicit funds since inception, enhancing compliance. Justin Sun, TRON’s founder, attributes this trust to the network’s alignment with crypto’s core values: “USDT on TRON works—it’s fast, cheap, and reliable.”
