Key Takeaways
- TRON now handles more USDT volume than Ethereum, with over $21 billion in weekly transfers.
- The network has become the dominant hub for stablecoins, especially Tether’s USDT.
- In 2025 alone, Tether has minted more than $16 billion USDT on TRON.
TRON (TRX) has overtaken Ethereum (ETH) in weekly USDT transfer volume, moving over $21 billion compared to Ethereum’s $8 billion.
It’s a sharp contrast that underscores TRON’s rising role as the go-to network for stablecoin transactions.
The surge comes after TRON introduced zero-fee USDT transactions in January 2025.
Combined with its low-cost infrastructure and fast settlement, the network has become the backbone of stablecoin transfers, especially for high-volume users.
13 Billion Transactions and Counting
TRON recently crossed 13 billion total transactions , reflecting its growing momentum in the crypto space.
On a daily basis, TRON processes more than 2.4 million USDT transfers, nearly ten times more than Ethereum.
According to CryptoQuant, it moved a record $694.5 billion worth of USDT in May, with nearly 60% of those transactions over $1 million.
TRON also dominates when it comes to active stablecoin wallets, holding around 84% of all USDT addresses across EVM-compatible chains.
TRON’s Rise as a Global Stablecoin Rails
Today, TRON processes over 55% of global USDT volume. Its stablecoin supply stands at more than $75.7 billion, outpacing Ethereum’s $71.4 billion.
Tether minted $16 billion worth of USDT on TRON in 2025 alone, further cementing its status as the dominant stablecoin network.
While Ethereum remains the foundation for decentralized finance, TRON is increasingly serving a different role: stable, fast, and affordable dollar-denominated transactions.
This makes it especially attractive in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is limited or costly.
In places across Asia and Africa, TRON is quietly powering a shadow financial system, offering an accessible and efficient way to move money without banks or borders.
