Tron is now the leading blockchain with the largest USDT stablecoin supply. This means that the network has officially flipped Ethereum. The significant milestone for Tron signals a shift in stablecoin economy dynamics as investors opt for faster and affordable stablecoin transfers. 

With the network surpassing USDT in supply, the price for TRX, Tron blockchain’s native token, is on the rise. This is a result of increased demand as retail and institutional investors now have more confidence in the Tron ecosystem. 

Tron Snatches Ethereum’s Spot in USDT Stablecoin Supply

USDT users are now favoring the Tron blockchain over Ethereum. As per a report by CryptoQuant Tron is now the leading blockchain in USDT supply. Notably, this network has surpassed Ethereum in all USDT stablecoin metrics. 

The report indicates that the Tron network has $75.8 billion in total circulating USDT. This increase is caused by a growing number of retail payments and remittances taking place on the network. 

With Ethereum now lagging behind in USDT stablecoin supply, many users are making their stablecoin transactions on Tron. The network is well known for its faster and cheaper transactions. 

“TRON is positioning itself as the leading blockchain for USDT circulation, likely due to its lower transaction fees, faster settlement times, and widespread usage in payment platforms,” CryptoQuant’s report read. 

TRON Smashes New Record in Daily USDT Transfer Value

Data from CryptoQuant also shows that average daily USDT transfer volume on the network has hit $23.7 billion. Daily USDT transfers on the Tron network are now at an all-time peak, pointing to its strong position in the stablecoin industry. It now reliably moves more USDT on a daily basis than Ethereum. 

At present, Ethereum processes daily volumes of USDT worth about $10.3 billion. The current level is down 37% from the highest level ever recorded back in end of 2024. 

The daily transaction activity around USDT on Tron points to the same. Tron currently handles more than 2.4 million USDT transactions a day, while Ethereum, on the other hand, only processes 284,000.

After 2021, the gap between the two networks has grown significantly. Daily USDT transactions on Tron have grown rapidly while Ethereum failed to keep up. The number of retail users choosing the network for stablecoins transfers is thus growing. This makes it clear that investors now prefer faster and less expensive transactions. 

Tron’s USDT Supply Surge Marks New Phase in Stablecoin Adoption

Tron flipping Ethereum in USDT supply depicts a shift in stablecoin market dynamics. Although Ethereum topped this sector previously, its role has changed. Particularly, Ethereum is moving towards enabling operations with more elaborate FinTech tools and positioning itself for use cases in DeFi institutions.

On the other hand, Tron is becoming more popular in USDT supply because it is easy to use in retail setups. The network powers mobile payments, point-of-sale systems and payments for small firms. Thanks to more users and a growing market, Tron now supports stablecoin payments worldwide. The new shift might transform the stablecoin sector onwards. 

TRX Pump 3% Amid Blockchain’s USDT Supply Dominance

On the day, Tron’s blockchain native token TRX has put up a rather impressive performance. CoinMarketCap data shows that TRX is trading at $0.2728, representing a rise of 3.11% for the day. The surge is due to increased network demand by investors, after overthrowing Ethereum in USDT supply. 

Even so, the sharp rise in Tron’s price might not last as trading activity is dipping. Over the last 24 hours, TRX has recorded a trading volume of $700.89 million. This marks a 26.78% dip in the same period, reflecting that enthusiasm around TRX may be waning as investors are unsure about the next stop for the price of TRX.
