TRX's rise may be attributed to increased activity on the Tron blockchain over the past few days.

Likewise, TRONSCAN, a block explorer for the Tron blockchain, revealed that Tron's total transactions exceeded 9 billion with total accounts rising to 276 million.
A notable reason for the increase is Tron's stablecoin dominance among emerging markets. According to Messari Crypto, Tron's monthly stablecoin transfer volume surpassed $500 billion in November — a $150 billion YoY increase— outperforming blockchains like Base and Solana.

USDT supply on the blockchain also rose 25% year-to-date, indicating the blockchain's strong dominance with the stablecoin. The Ethereum blockchain only recently flipped Tron in USDT supply — the first time in two years.
30% of the blockchain's stablecoin transactions stem from wallets holding less than $1K, with the total number of addresses with crypto holdings surpassing 120 million users, per IntoTheBlock data. This indicates that Tron is seeing increased use from retailers.
