Tron’s blockchain is experiencing unprecedented growth, fueled by everyday users embracing stablecoins for fast and affordable transactions.
Explosive Growth in Active Users and Transactions
The Tron ecosystem has shattered its own records, with daily active addresses climbing to an all-time high of 5.7 million on Tuesday. This surpasses the prior peak of 5.4 million from just the previous day. Transaction volume also spiked, hitting over 12.6 million on the same day—the highest single-day figure in more than two years, according to network explorer data.
Blockchain analytics firm Nansen highlighted the surge in a recent X update, noting: “Pure volume without the noise. This is elite-level performance flying under the radar.”
Over the past week, daily active addresses on Tron jumped 69% to approximately 11.1 million, outpacing growth on other leading blockchains.

USDT on Tron: The Go-To Pair for Everyday Transfers
Tron’s DeFi scene may not rival Ethereum’s in scale, but it processes 15-20 million Tether (USDT) transfers each week, cementing its role as a top choice for stablecoin payments.

The chain’s appeal shines in regions like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where users leverage quick, cheap US dollar-linked transfers in areas with restricted access to traditional banking.
Tether recently celebrated its 500 millionth USDT user on October 21. CEO Paolo Ardoino called it “arguably the most significant milestone in financial inclusion to date.”

Tether’s USDT remains the undisputed leader among stablecoins, boasting a $183.2 billion market capitalization and 58.8% of the total market, per CoinGecko. Circle’s USDC trails at $76.2 billion.
Ethereum hosts the largest supply of USDT at $83.4 billion, followed closely by Tron with $78.7 million, based on DefiLlama figures.
