TRON Surpasses $80 Billion in USDT Supply Amid 17% QoQ Market Cap Growth

TRON has maintained a dominant position in the blockchain industry in 2025, driven by significant growth in on-chain activity, strategic partnerships, and its leading role in stablecoin infrastructure. The TRON network saw a 22.2% increase in USDT supply, reaching $80.3 billion in Q2 2025, while daily transactions grew 12.6% to 8.6 million [1]. These figures highlight the platform’s expanding utility, especially in cross-border payments and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications [3].

The platform’s ecosystem has also benefited from collaborations with key industry players, including Chainlink, Stripe, and Privy.io. These partnerships have enhanced TRON’s infrastructure for dApps and DeFi platforms such as SunPump and JustLend DAO [1]. According to CryptoRank’s H1 2025 report, TRON’s total value locked (TVL) stood at $9.3 billion, with a consistent rise in active addresses, reinforcing its position as a top Layer-1 blockchain [1].

TRON’s market capitalization increased by 17% quarter-over-quarter to $26.5 billion in Q2 2025, according to data from Messari and Nansen [1]. This growth has been supported by the network’s high transaction speed—2,000 transactions per second—and low fees, making it an attractive option for developers and users seeking cost-effective blockchain solutions [1]. The TRON DAO also announced a $1 billion token buyback program, which contributed to a surge in TRX prices to $0.34 amid strong bullish momentum [8].

Moreover, TRON’s expanding user base and transaction volume underscore its appeal as a high-performance blockchain. The network reported 100 million+ user accounts and 3.4 billion+ transactions by 2022, a base that has continued to grow [1]. This growth is further supported by the platform’s integration of AI through partnerships like Oraichain, signaling a shift from a content-focused platform to a more versatile, high-performance network [1].

While some analysts have suggested that newer projects like BlockDAG could offer faster returns, TRON’s established infrastructure and market share in the stablecoin space continue to drive its adoption [2]. The recent Canary ETF filing and Justin Sun’s prediction of a Q2 2025 all-time high for TRON have also fueled optimism among investors [1]. In Q2 2025 alone, TRX holders cashed out $1.4 billion in profits, reflecting strong liquidity and confidence in the ecosystem [5].

Looking ahead, forecasts for TRX vary. Some analysts predict a price target of $0.5 by the end of the year, while others point to AI-powered tools and emerging projects as potential catalysts for even greater returns [4]. Regardless of price movements, TRON’s leadership in stablecoin issuance and its expanding DeFi ecosystem position it as a key player in shaping the future of decentralized finance.
