In total, Tron network now holds 82.6 billion USDT out of the total 164.5 billion USDT in circulation as of today.

“USDT on TRON has become the preferred choice for millions of users around the world because it is fast, stable, and accessible,” said Justin Sun, Founder of Tron. “The focus remains on delivering real world utility and building strong network effects that make TRON the leading platform for stablecoin transactions.”

Tron now handles record high network activity. In one week, it processed over 60 million transactions, making it the third busiest blockchain after Solana and Base. This rise is linked to more people using USDT on Tron, given its low-fee and high-speed transaction features.
