TRON’s Founder Justin Sun announced on X today that the TRON blockchain network has reduced its transfer fees by 60% amid heightened market activity. Sun also quoted Blockchain analytics firm LookonChain’s post, highlighting Tron’s leading position with 2.48 million active addresses, currently outpacing all other major networks.
Tron now surpasses Binance Smart Chain (BSC) which has 2.28 million active transactions, Solana with 2.18 million, Base with 1 million, and Polygon which has approximately 624,311, as per DeFillama data.
Last week, Sun explained on X that, given the immediate 60% reduction in network costs, TRON’s profitability would be impacted in the near term. However, when more users and transactions occur on the Tron network, profitability will eventually increase.
TRON also faces strong competition from emerging market exchanges, such as Bitfinex, which is getting ready to introduce a new blockchain called Plasma. This new blockchain will allow USDT transfers for free, as a result, TRON might be put under pressure to maintain low fees.
This historic fee cut, dropping the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun, aims to supercharge TRON’s appeal. This is especially for stablecoin transactions like USDT, where it handles a staggering $24.6 billion in daily volume, outshining Ethereum.
The decision, greenlit by TRON’s Super Representative community, tackles rising costs tied to TRX’s price doubling since 2024, which had pushed USDT transfer fees as high as $4.28 in Q3 2025.
