TRON integrates USD1 to build a diversified stablecoin ecosystem, with the DeFi ecosystem's full-chain support promoting the landing and advancement of USD1
Since May 2, when TRON founder Justin Sun announced at the TOKEN2049 Dubai conference that TRON has reached a strategic cooperation with the decentralized stablecoin USD1 supported by the Trump family project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the landing process of USD1 in the TRON ecosystem has been accelerated.
TRON has launched a series of rapid and efficient layouts: On June 11, Justin Sun announced the official minting of USD1 on the TRON network; on July 7, the one-stop decentralized trading platform Sun.io went live with multiple trading pairs for USD1, enabling on-chain instant exchanges; on August 19, the lending protocol JustLend DAO announced full support for USD1's deposit and lending services, further broadening the asset appreciation channels.
In just three months, TRON has completed the process of integrating USD1 from technical access to comprehensive deep integration within the ecosystem, achieving full-chain support for the stablecoin on the TRON chain from minting, circulation, free trading to yield appreciation. This efficient advancement not only reflects TRON's high regard for the USD1 project but also benefits from its mature and complete DeFi infrastructure system, which can fully assist a stablecoin project in achieving rapid startup from 0 to 1.
As of August 26, data from the TRONSCAN browser shows that the issuance of USD1 on the TRON chain has exceeded 25 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $350 million and more than 520 holding addresses. These figures not only reflect the strong expansion momentum and active liquidity of USD1 in the TRON ecosystem but also mark USD1 as an important component of the core stablecoin asset matrix of TRON.
This cooperation not only validates TRON's strategic foresight in the stablecoin field but also injects new DeFi momentum into the ecosystem through the rapid landing of USD1, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent construction of a diversified stablecoin matrix. As an important new DeFi asset within the ecosystem, USD1 will also bring new development opportunities to TRON.
TRON Gathers USD1: Building a Diversified Stablecoin Ecosystem to Strengthen Global Stablecoin Dominance
With the strong entry of the compliant stablecoin USD1, combined with the core advantages accumulated in the previous layouts of USDT and USDD, TRON has officially formed a diversified stablecoin ecosystem pattern of "mainstream stablecoin USDT + native decentralized stablecoin USDD + compliant stablecoin USD1." This matrix not only enriches the layers of TRON's stablecoin ecosystem but also continuously strengthens its core discourse power and infrastructure value in the global stablecoin field through the complementary functions and scenario collaboration of various currencies.
As a compliant USD stablecoin issued by the Trump family-related project WLFI, USD1 has quickly gained market recognition since its launch in March this year with its "high transparency + strong compliance." This stablecoin is fully backed by cash equivalents such as short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and dollar deposits at a 1:1 ratio, with asset custody managed by professional institutions like BitGo, and it regularly discloses details of minting, redemption, and reserve assets, making it widely regarded as a representative project of compliant stablecoins.
Leveraging the brand influence and compliance advantages associated with the Trump family, USD1 has rapidly expanded since its launch. As of August 26, the circulating supply of USD1 is close to $2.5 billion, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin globally.

Before cooperating with TRON, USD1 was mainly deployed on the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks, while TRON serves as its third core blockchain platform for expanding a multi-chain ecosystem. This cooperation is also seen as a key move for USD1 to accelerate its reach to the global user market.
The cooperation between USD1 and TRON began at the TOKEN2049 Dubai conference in May this year: TRON founder Justin Sun, Eric Trump, the second son of Trump, and Zach Witkoff, co-founder of WLFI, jointly announced that they have reached a cooperation to issue the native stablecoin USD1 on the TRON network.
Regarding this cooperation, Eric Trump clearly stated: "TRON's strong technical capabilities and extensive user base provide a perfect platform for the promotion of USD1."
Justin Sun further elaborated on the value of the cooperation: "The integration of USD1 will inject new vitality into the TRON ecosystem. Our goal is to enable every user to easily use stablecoins through their mobile phones and participate in the global financial system. The cooperation between TRON and WLFI is an important step in the integration of DeFi and traditional finance. We hope that through USD1, global users can seamlessly use stablecoins in their daily lives, such as for hotel or store purchases."
From this perspective, this cooperation not only provides USD1 with a technical foundation and user base but also allows TRON's stablecoin ecosystem to include a compliant currency for the first time, achieving full-scenario coverage of "mainstream + decentralized + compliant."
Since the announcement of the cooperation, TRON has rapidly advanced the ecological integration of USD1, achieving a series of key progress: On June 11, USD1 officially began minting on the TRON network, with an initial minting volume of 1,000 coins, marking the formal integration of USD1 into the TRON ecosystem; on July 7, the one-stop DEX Sun.io launched multiple trading pairs for USD1, providing users with convenient trading channels; on August 19, the lending protocol JustLend DAO fully supported USD1 deposits and loans, further expanding its yield application scenarios.
In just three months, TRON has completed the full-process deployment of USD1 from technical access to integration with DeFi infrastructure.
As of August 26, the issuance of USD1 on the TRON chain has exceeded 25 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $350 million, more than 520 holding addresses, and a total of 41,000 on-chain transactions, with the growth momentum just beginning.

Although the deployment of USD1 is later than that of Ethereum and BNB Chain, TRON demonstrates significant potential for late-stage expansion, with over 300 million users, a mature stablecoin ecosystem, and leading global infrastructure, making it likely to achieve rapid catch-up or even surpassing.
As the most widely used stablecoin globally, USDT has long maintained the largest circulation scale on the TRON network, making TRON the most popular stablecoin settlement network.
According to a research report on the TRON network released by CoinDesk on August 2, in the 50 countries covered by the survey, TRON has become the most commonly used stablecoin transfer network in 35 countries (including Asia, Africa, and Latin America). Additionally, in June alone, the number of TRON USDT transfers reached 65 million, with transaction amounts exceeding $600 billion.
The "Stablecoin Payment Report" released by Artemis in June also pointed out that based on data from 31 stablecoin payment companies, USDT accounts for about 90% of stablecoin trading volume, while TRON is rated as the most popular stablecoin transfer blockchain.
Currently, the total circulating market value of stablecoins on the TRON network exceeds $83.4 billion, accounting for 30% of the total market value of global stablecoins (approximately $279.8 billion). Among them, the issuance of TRC20-USDT has reached $82.4 billion, with a cumulative increase of about 2.3 billion coins since 2025, an increase of 40%. Currently, the number of accounts holding USDT on the TRON chain exceeds 67 million, with an average of over 1 million active accounts per day, fully demonstrating its leading position as the core infrastructure for stablecoins.
In addition to USDT, TRON's native decentralized over-collateralized stablecoin USDD provides an important decentralized stable solution for its ecosystem, forming a "centralized + decentralized" dual-track complementarity with USDT. Since its upgrade in January this year, USDD has also maintained stable growth, with its issuance nearing $500 million and the value of collateralized assets within the protocol exceeding $521 million.
By deploying USD1, TRON has formed a diversified stablecoin ecosystem pattern of "mainstream stablecoin USDT + decentralized stablecoin USDD + compliant stablecoin USD1," covering different user needs and scenarios through clear hierarchical positioning:
- TRC20-USDT serves as the core tool for payment settlement, undertaking the main functions of global high-frequency transfers and cross-border payments;
- USDD provides a decentralized algorithmic stability solution, meeting users' needs for decentralized finance (DeFi) through over-collateralization and algorithmic anchoring;
- USD1 targets high transparency scenarios for compliance needs.
Now, with the addition of USD1, not only does it inject new momentum into TRON's stable system, but it also further solidifies its position as a core infrastructure for global stablecoins.
DeFi Ecosystem Full-Chain Support Boosts USD1 Landing Progress, TRON's Mature Infrastructure Becomes a "Super Stage" for Stablecoin Growth
The landing process of USD1 in the TRON ecosystem is continuously accelerating, from the launch of trading pairs on the ecosystem DEX Sun.io to the support of price feeds by the oracle WINkLink, and then to the support of storage and lending functions by the lending platform JustLend DAO. This series of developments not only reflects TRON's high regard for USD1 but also benefits from its already mature and complete DeFi infrastructure system, enabling USD1 to quickly achieve full-scenario coverage from liquidity to trading to yield appreciation, helping it rapidly integrate into the ecosystem and release value.
TRON has currently built a DeFi application matrix covering multiple scenarios, providing a solid foundation for the rapid landing and scenario expansion of stablecoin assets. From the DEX platform SunSwap that accommodates trading needs, the SunCurve focused on stablecoin trading, to SunPump that lowers the issuance threshold for Meme; from the oracle WINkLink that ensures on-chain data security, the JustLend lending platform that provides capital intermediation, to the BitTorrent protocol that enables cross-chain circulation, and the APENFT NFT market linking digital art, to the RWA product stUSDT that anchors physical assets. This comprehensive infrastructure system not only can quickly expand the application boundaries of stablecoins but also provides one-stop support for new entrants like USD1, facilitating its efficient completion of the startup closed loop from technical access to scenario penetration.
As the "trading entry point" for USD1's integration into the TRON ecosystem, on July 7, the one-stop DEX platform Sun.io was the first to launch USD1, simultaneously opening three core trading pairs: USD1/USDT, USD1/TRX, and NFT/USD1, directly providing users with convenient trading channels. According to Sunscan browser data, the asset pool scale of USD1 reached $3 million shortly after its launch, with nearly 24-hour trading volume exceeding $1.44 million, laying a solid foundation for subsequent liquidity accumulation and user penetration.
After the trading scenarios were connected, on-chain data support became key for USD1 to expand DeFi scenarios. On July 21, TRON's leading oracle project WINkLink announced the addition of USD1/TRX price services, providing secure, reliable, and real-time USD1 price sources for on-chain applications. This move not only improved USD1's underlying data infrastructure but also directly paved the way for its integration into complex DeFi scenarios such as lending, synthetic assets, and derivatives, eliminating technical application barriers.
On August 19, the lending protocol JustLend DAO announced the official integration of USD1, fully supporting the stablecoin's deposit, lending, and yield mining functions. Users can now earn stable returns by storing (supplying) USD1 in JustLend DAO or pledge TRX, USDT, and other assets to borrow USD1 to activate idle funds. Within three days of its launch, the value locked in the USD1 fund pool on the JustLend DAO platform reached $1,248. This move not only strengthens JustLend DAO's position as a core lending hub in the TRON ecosystem but also incorporates USD1 into the "trading-value" ecological closed loop, injecting new liquidity and growth momentum into the entire TRON DeFi ecosystem, promoting the ecosystem's evolution towards a more mature and diversified direction.

It is worth noting that the TRON version of USD1 has also simultaneously gained support from mainstream centralized exchanges (CEX) such as HTX and Gate, allowing users to directly deposit and withdraw USD1 on the TRON chain on CEX platforms, further broadening the channels for acquisition and trading, achieving a "DEX + CEX" dual-track circulation pattern.
Currently, the landing of USD1 in the trading and lending fields is just the starting point for its integration into the TRON ecosystem. Relying on TRON's mature application matrix, USD1 is accelerating its extension to more scenarios, releasing diversified value: for example, in the future, the SunPump platform may support users in issuing Meme coins using USD1; the APENFT platform may open channels for purchasing NFT assets with USD1; the ecosystem's native stablecoin USDD may also achieve a 1:1 exchange with USD1, linking the value circulation chain of "decentralized" and "compliant" stablecoins; or through the BitTorrent cross-chain protocol, USD1 may also cross into the BitTorrent ecosystem for transactions, further broadening its application boundaries.
This multi-scenario, deep-level ecological penetration reflects TRON's capability for "full-chain transformation" of stablecoins. By deeply binding USD1 with DeFi, NFT, Meme, cross-chain, and other scenarios within the ecosystem, it not only enhances the actual usage frequency of USD1 but also accelerates its popularization among a broader user base, expanding stablecoin services from purely financial transactions to richer application fields such as digital consumption and content creation.
For TRON, the introduction of USD1 is not only a key supplement to the stablecoin matrix but also an important step in its entry into the global compliant finance system. With its compliant attributes, USD1 will inject new momentum into the TRON ecosystem and provide TRON with more suitable tools when connecting with traditional finance and regional payment systems. In the long run, the deep integration of USD1 not only enriches TRON's stablecoin options but also will synergize with USDT and USDD to jointly provide more efficient, transparent, and diverse financial services for the global population of 8 billion users, broadening the coverage of inclusive finance.
From the leading global USDT ecosystem to the native decentralized USDD, and now to the compliant new force USD1, TRON has constructed a multi-dimensional stablecoin ecosystem pattern of "mainstream + decentralized + compliant," fully adapting to the multi-dimensional needs of public payments, DeFi innovation, and compliant scenarios. This diverse architecture will not only continue to consolidate its leading position in the stablecoin field but also establish TRON as the "super infrastructure" for various stablecoins to achieve user growth and scenario landing, providing global users with a more flexible and resilient stablecoin service system.
