Tron Becomes Global Stablecoin Hub as USDT Surpasses 41 Million Wallets

Tether’s USDT has experienced record growth on the TRON blockchain, with the stablecoin now reaching over 41 million wallets, according to recent data. This significant expansion highlights TRON’s growing role as a major settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and underscores its increasing adoption among both retail and institutional users. The rapid increase in wallet addresses reflects a broader trend of cross-chain interoperability and the demand for fast, low-cost transactions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and global payments sectors.

The growth of USDT on TRON has been further accelerated by recent developments, including Tether’s integration of the stablecoin with TRON via deBridge’s cross-chain technology. This collaboration enables seamless transfers of USDT and other assets between TRON and other major blockchain networks such as Ethereum and Solana. By eliminating the need for wrapped tokens and reducing transaction complexity, the partnership is expected to enhance user experience and expand the utility of USDT across multiple ecosystems [2].

TRON’s dominance in USDT circulation is also supported by its robust infrastructure and cost-efficiency. As of August 2025, TRON hosts more than $82 billion in USDT in circulation, with over 327 million accounts and 11 billion transactions processed on the network. The platform’s ability to handle high transaction volumes with minimal fees has made it an attractive option for users seeking a scalable and accessible blockchain solution [2].

The recent surge in USDT minting on TRON—exceeding $5 billion since the start of June 2025—has also been influenced by macroeconomic factors, particularly the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain interest rates. In a risk-on environment, capital has increasingly flowed into cryptocurrencies, with USDT serving as a liquidity conduit for traders and institutional investors. The newly minted stablecoins have predominantly flowed into the Tether Treasury wallet before being redistributed to ETF custodians, market makers, and institutional wallets [5].

TRON’s continued expansion is further reinforced by its growing institutional recognition. In September 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce selected TRON as one of the primary networks for publishing official economic data, including the second-quarter GDP report. This move marks a significant milestone in the adoption of blockchain technology by government agencies and highlights TRON’s role in promoting transparency and global data accessibility [3]. The network has also seen a surge in daily active users, surpassing 2.5 million within days of a 60% reduction in energy fees, a move aimed at lowering transaction costs and increasing accessibility [3].

The rapid growth of USDT on TRON underscores the platform’s role in shaping the future of global finance. With its high throughput, low fees, and expanding DeFi ecosystem, TRON continues to attract users from diverse backgrounds, including traditional finance participants seeking alternative settlement mechanisms. As cross-chain solutions become more sophisticated and stablecoins gain broader acceptance, TRON is well positioned to maintain its leadership in the stablecoin space and further cement its position as a foundational layer of the global digital economy [2].
