In a significant milestone, the TRON network has surpassed $83 billion in stablecoin supply while processing an impressive $20 billion in daily transactions. This remarkable achievement highlights TRON”s ongoing dominance in the global stablecoin landscape, as revealed by independent reports from Arkham, CoinDesk, and Messari.
The analysis by Arkham indicates that TRON ranks as the second-largest blockchain infrastructure supporting stablecoin settlements globally. The network is home to over $80 billion in USDT stablecoin supply and boasts more than 2 million transactions daily, making it the most active settlement layer for Tether.
Since 2021, TRON has experienced compound annual growth rates ranging from 54% to 60%. In the past year, daily transaction volume has surged by 45.9%, while the number of transactions increased by 11.2%. Active addresses on the network have also grown by 9.8%, with an average of over 1 million active addresses recorded each day.
Geographically, TRON”s network activity is predominantly concentrated in Asia, contributing nearly $341 billion in annualized transaction volume. Emerging markets such as Turkey, Indonesia, and India have demonstrated strong adoption, emphasizing TRON”s appeal in regions where low-cost and efficient blockchain infrastructure is essential.
According to CoinDesk”s Quarterly Report for Q4 2025, TRON achieved a quarterly average of 2.8 million daily active users, an increase from 2.6 million in Q3 2025. The network maintains a dominant position, capturing 78% of peer-to-peer transactions and 56% of global retail-sized USDT transfers under $1,000.
The report also noted a remarkable surge in TRON”s intent-based transaction volume, which skyrocketed to $449 million in Q4 2025, reflecting an 899% quarter-on-quarter increase. This positions TRON as the third-largest ecosystem for intent-based activity, following Ethereum and Solana.
In terms of decentralized finance (DeFi), TRON”s lending sector remains robust, led by JustLend, which has a total value locked (TVL) of $3.9 billion. A recent deflationary initiative by JustLend DAO allocated net protocol revenue to recurring JST token buybacks and burns, completing $17 million in buybacks as of early Q1 2026.
Messari”s report elaborates on the ecosystem”s growth, driven by strategic partnerships, including the integration of Revolut for protocol staking and stablecoin remittances, and the launch of TRX on Base for cross-chain accessibility. Additionally, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) has cleared USDT on TRON for regulated use, further enhancing its credibility.
The technical upgrades implemented by TRON, including TIP-6780 for better alignment with Ethereum”s EIP-6780 and the deployment of the Java-Tron 4.8.1 upgrade on the Nile testnet, aim to enhance performance, security, and compatibility across the network.
These collective insights from Arkham, CoinDesk, and Messari reaffirm TRON”s evolution into a crucial element of global blockchain infrastructure. By combining technical sophistication with real-world utility, TRON serves millions of users worldwide, processing high transaction volumes while remaining accessible and cost-effective, thus positioning itself as a viable alternative to traditional payment systems.
Founded by H.E. Justin Sun in September 2017, the TRON DAO is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps). Since its MainNet launch in May 2018, TRON has recorded over 361 million user accounts and more than 12 billion transactions, with a total value locked exceeding $25 billion, as reported by TRONSCAN.
As TRON continues to expand its capabilities and user base, its vision of “Moving Trillions, Empowering Billions” remains at the forefront of its mission.
