TRON Surpasses 13 Billion Transactions, Outpacing Ethereum in USDT Transfers

In a significant milestone for the blockchain industry, TRON has surpassed 13 billion transactions, as revealed by CryptoQuant.com in a recent X post.

The data, visualized through a 30-day moving average, showcases a sharp upward trajectory since 2021, underscoring TRON’s growing dominance in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. A key driver of this growth is TRON’s handling of over $21 billion in weekly USDT transfers—2.5 times Ethereum’s $8 billion—thanks to its low fees and rapid transaction speeds.

This contrast highlights TRON’s edge in processing stablecoin transactions, a trend further supported by its peak of $587.2 billion in USDT transfers in November 2024, according to CryptoPotato. The blockchain’s integration into payment gateways and its strong foothold in Asian markets, with over 310 million user accounts and $21.5 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of June 2025, have fueled this surge.

Community feedback on X, including from users like @iamhardy_, emphasizes TRON’s cost-effectiveness compared to Ethereum, positioning it as a preferred choice for retail and smaller transactions. Despite its success, TRON faces scrutiny over its centralized token distribution—45% allocated to founders and the project, per CoinMarketCap—sparking debates on scalability and decentralization.

However, its over-collateralized USDD stablecoin model offers a stark contrast to Terra’s failed UST, enhancing its reliability. This stability, combined with TRON’s efficient infrastructure, challenges Ethereum’s narrative as the leading blockchain, even if TRON receives less market respect. As TRON continues to bridge crypto with real-world use cases—evidenced by partnerships like AEON Pay’s integration for Southeast Asian merchants—the blockchain may redefine stablecoin adoption. For investors and enthusiasts, TRON’s metrics suggest a compelling alternative, though its long-term impact hinges on addressing centralization concerns.
