- TRON cut gas fees by 60%, reducing TRC20 fees from 4.4 to 2.1 TRX
- Network processes $21B daily in USDT transfers, half of global Tether volume
- TRON treasury expanded by $110M, holdings now exceed 365 million TRX
TRON cut gas prices by 60% on August 29, according to data from CryptoQuant. Average transaction fees dropped from $1.55 to $0.59 within ten days. The network also saw TRC20 transfer fees fall from 4.4 TRX to 2.1 TRX. This fee reduction lowered weekly costs for users, with total fees declining from 272 million TRX in mid-August to 23.1 million TRX.
The lower cost structure has increased activity across the TRON network. The chain processes more than $21 billion in USDT transfers daily, which represents around half of the global Tether volume.
Each transaction requires TRX for gas fees, creating steady demand for the token regardless of trading conditions. Analysts suggest the reduction could attract up to 45% more users who previously avoided TRON due to higher costs.
Trading Activity and Market Trends
While user activity climbed, market trading data showed mixed signals. Spot trading volume decreased by 10.6% to $702 million over the last 24 hours. Derivatives volume dropped 18.7% to $252 million in the same period, according to Coinglass data. Open interest also declined slightly, falling by 1.3%. These figures indicate cooling in trading activity, even as transaction usage on the network expands.
The TRX price has held above $0.30 in early September 2025, showing resilience despite lower trading volumes. The fee cut is expected to support transaction growth and maintain steady demand for TRX tokens used in settlement.
Treasury Expansion and Corporate Strategy
TRON Inc. also announced an expansion of its treasury on September 2. The company added $110 million, supported by its largest shareholder. The firm now holds over 365 million TRX, worth around $126 million. TRON Inc. has also set plans to raise $1 billion to further grow its TRX holdings.
The move mirrors the strategy of MicroStrategy, which has increased Bitcoin holdings through corporate treasury purchases. By reducing available supply, TRON Inc.’s expansion signals confidence in long-term network value. Since its Nasdaq listing through a reverse merger on July 24, 2025, TRX has gained about 10%.
