Key Highlights:
- TRON leads USDT daily transactions with 2 million, far above Ethereum’s 274,200.
- USDT supply on TRON reaches $75.8B, overtaking Ethereum’s $74.5B.
- Most $ 1 M+ USDT transfers on TRON happen between 07:00 and 15:00 UTC.
TRON (TRX) now leads as the biggest stablecoin network, surpassing Ethereum in total USDT supply. It also outpaces Ethereum in daily transactions, cementing its dominance in the space.
Currently, the network has $75.8 Billion in USDT and processes over 2 million USDT transactions daily. Cheaper fees and quicker settlement have enabled this change. Additionally, the strong presence of institutions during peak trading periods has contributed to it further.
TRON Leads in USDT Transfers and Usage
TRON is now the top blockchain for USDT in several critical areas. The Tether (USDT) contract on TRX was used over 291 million times in 2025, making it the most-used contract on the network.
Wrapped TRX (WTRX) was transferred 2.52 million times, while PayNet Coin saw 1.38 million transfers. Decentralized USD (USDD) had 442,987 transfers during the same period.
This shows how important USDT is on the TRON network. The data below also proves this, as the total USDT supply on TRX is now $75.8 Billion, surpassing Ethereum’s $74.5 Billion.
The supply of USDT on TRON has increased steadily, but Ethereum’s has experienced more ups and downs.
The rise in USDT on TRX is because it is cheaper and faster than using Ethereum. Such benefits are most valuable to users who frequently exchange or move large amounts of stablecoins.
Furthermore, TRON is currently at the top for daily USDT transaction value. Recent statistics report that TRON handles an average of $23.7 Billion USDT daily. Meanwhile, the daily USDT volume on Ethereum is $10.3 billion, which is less than half of TRON’s.
Because of this activity, the number of daily transactions has gone up. The daily average number of USDT transactions on TRON is 2 million, while Ethereum only has 274,200. This transaction gap has stayed the same for the past two years and is now widening.
The information indicates that TRON is now the preferred choice for moving stablecoins quickly. USDT has a higher value than Ethereum and a higher volume. It is necessary for exchanges, wallets, and services that depend on inexpensive and reliable transfer channels.
Timing of Large Transfers Shows Institutional Behavior
The highest number of USDT transactions over $1 million on TRON occurs between 07:00 and 15:00 UTC. This is when European markets begin trading, and the U.S. market is just starting its day.
Large institutions and traders are key in driving the most significant transfers. There is very little activity during the rest of the day, demonstrating that most trading happens during business hours.
It demonstrates that even in decentralized systems, large market players tend to follow the usual financial schedules.
Awareness of big transactions allows on-chain analysts and traders to judge the market’s liquidity. Trading more during these hours can result in less slippage for big transfers, making the process more efficient.
TVL Growth on TRON Strengthens DeFi Presence
Additionally, TRON’s TVL has increased, mainly in the SunSwap ecosystem. The TVL chart shows the usage breakdown for SunSwap v1, v2, v3, Sun.io, and SunPump.
By May 2025, the total value locked in TRON is close to $1 Billion, and SunSwap v1 and v2 have the most locked. In the past 14 days, the network gained $38 Million, suggesting that people are using it more and more.
The price of TRX has gone up as TVL has increased. The chart reveals that as the amount of locked assets rises in DeFi, TRON has moved closer to $0.24–$0.30. This indicates that people are confident about the ecosystem.
This link between more protocols and higher demand for tokens is common among blockchains with active decentralized finance.
Increased TVL, higher USDT volume, and more stablecoins on TRON suggest it plays a key role in blockchain finance. It has a high transaction rate, holds more stablecoins than Ethereum, and continues attracting new users.
