The circulation of TRON USDT has surpassed 70 billion USD, consolidating its position in the crypto financial infrastructure

Recently, the globally leading public chain TRON has achieved another breakthrough: the circulation of TRON's USDT (TRC20-USDT) has officially surpassed $70 billion, reaching 70.7 billion tokens, accounting for nearly 50% of the total global issuance of USDT. This achievement not only consolidates TRON's global leadership position in the stablecoin sector but also highlights its key role in promoting financial inclusion and the decentralization process.

TRON founder Justin Sun stated on social platform X: "The USDT circulation surpassing $70 billion is a historic moment, carrying the trust of global users and the consensus of the community. This is a miracle achieved by the collective efforts of the crypto community."

Trust and Consensus Behind the Milestone

Since partnering with Tether to issue TRC20-USDT in 2019, TRON has become the preferred platform for stablecoin trading due to its efficient and low-cost network characteristics. As of April 2025, the number of accounts holding TRC20-USDT has reached 64.54 million, with a total of over 2.461 billion transactions, highlighting strong growth momentum.

TRON's technological advantages are key to its success. The network can process thousands of transactions per second (TPS), with confirmation times as low as seconds and extremely low transfer fees, with some scenarios even achieving zero fees. In March 2025, TRON announced the launch of the "Gas Free" USDT transfer feature, further reducing transaction costs and consolidating its leading position in the payment sector.

The Web3 e-commerce platform Uquid recently stated that 85% of African users rated the TRON network five stars, claiming that its stablecoin provides a stable and low-cost payment experience unmatched by local payment systems, injecting vitality into the local economy.

In the first quarter of 2025, TRON's on-chain data performance was particularly impressive: the total number of accounts surpassed 300 million, making it the first public chain platform to reach this scale; daily active accounts exceeded 2 million; in February 2025, the TRON network processed over 14 million USDT transactions weekly, accounting for 69% of global USDT activity. These figures reflect TRON's core position in the global payment and clearing network.

The Synergistic Effect of Stablecoins and the TRON Ecosystem

As the cornerstone of the blockchain ecosystem, stablecoins provide a stable value medium for scenarios such as DeFi, NFTs, and cross-border payments. TRON maximizes the potential of TRC20-USDT through technological innovation and ecosystem expansion. Today, TRON has become the most active and largest stablecoin network globally, with the latest daily average USDT transfer amount reaching $80 billion.

In the DeFi sector, TRON's stablecoin ecosystem has driven the prosperity of decentralized finance. According to DefiLlama data, its total value locked (TVL) in DeFi exceeds $20 billion, consistently ranking among the top three public chains globally, with liquidity pools for stablecoins like USDD offering annualized returns of up to 20%. In innovative sectors like NFTs, the APENFT Marketplace and BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) cross-chain protocol enhance ecosystem liquidity, opening up new scenarios for stablecoin applications.

TRON is also actively expanding into global markets, collaborating with the government of Dominica to establish TRX, USDT (TRC-20), and six other tokens as legal digital currencies, marking the integration of blockchain technology and sovereign finance. Additionally, TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs have established the T3 Financial Crimes Unit (T3 FCU) to significantly reduce illegal activities by monitoring USDT transactions in real-time, with illegal transaction volumes decreasing by approximately $6 billion in 2024, further enhancing user trust.

Stablecoins Reshaping the Financial Landscape, Building a Web3 Financial Freeport

Authoritative institutions unanimously affirm TRON's leading position in the stablecoin sector. Blockchain analytics firm Token Terminal pointed out in its first-quarter 2025 report that the rapid growth of TRC20-USDT reflects the "trend of stablecoins migrating to efficient public chains," with TRON becoming Tether's core blockchain platform due to its low costs and high throughput. Messari's 2025 "Crypto Theses" report predicts that, thanks to its high scalability and widespread adoption of on-chain DApps, TRON's USDT network has become "the most important crypto payment infrastructure globally." CryptoQuant analysis shows that TRON's daily active addresses are growing rapidly, and its strong user engagement and cost advantages make it the preferred network for global stablecoin transfers.

TRON's breakthroughs are reshaping the global financial landscape. In Africa, TRC20-USDT is widely used for P2P transactions due to its low cost and fast confirmation, helping users cope with currency fluctuations and stabilize personal wealth; in Latin America, USDT has become the preferred tool for remittances and daily transactions, significantly enhancing financial inclusion; in Southeast Asia, TRON's stablecoin network empowers supply chain finance for small and medium-sized enterprises, greatly reducing transaction costs. These cases demonstrate TRON's profound influence in emerging markets. Meanwhile, TRON's stUSDT product offers low-risk government bond investments through DeFi protocols, earning it the title of "the Yu'ebao of the blockchain field," providing users with stable returns.

As a leading global public chain, TRON's USDT circulation surpassing $70 billion is a perfect combination of technological innovation and user trust. From efficient on-chain payments to diversified DeFi applications, TRON is leveraging stablecoins to lead the globalization of the blockchain industry to new heights. As founder Justin Sun stated, "The $70 billion is just the starting point; TRON will write a new chapter in the future of financial freedom and decentralization."
