The State of TRON H2 2025: Stablecoin Settlement at Scale Amid Rising Competition
In the second half of 2025, TRON focused on operational execution and targeted growth, prioritizing initiatives with clear ROI and real-world adoption. Key developments included strategic integrations with platforms like Kalshi and Revolut, enhancing its role as a low-fee, fast settlement layer for stablecoins. The network expanded into chain abstraction through a collaboration with NEAR and improved developer infrastructure with Alchemy RPC support. TRX performance remained strong, rising 26% in 2025, and the network deepened interoperability with Base via LayerZero.
TRON maintained its leadership in stablecoin settlement, processing trillions in annual volume and growing monthly active stablecoin users by 38% to over 10 million. Despite increased competition from chains like Plasma and Solana, TRON's stablecoin supply grew 41%, primarily driven by USDT. On-chain metrics showed 300M+ monthly transactions and 20M monthly active accounts, with over half being stablecoin users. Revenue peaked in Q3 but declined in Q4 due to market conditions.
Looking ahead, TRON aims to defend its market share by maintaining predictable fees, expanding payment provider integrations, and reducing UX friction.
