TRON processed over $2M USDT transfers daily, with 48% volume growth in 2024

TRON (TRX) achieved peak Tether (USDT) activity in 2024, roughly handling more than $17.9B per day in token transfers. Trading and DeFi volumes were even higher, with a 48% yearly growth.

TRON (TRX) achieved peak Tether (USDT) activity in 2024, handling on average $17.9M in token transfers. DeFi and trading volumes were higher, reaching $5.46 trillion. TRON turned into one of the most active USDT transfer platforms, despite the drop of supply at the end of 2025. The coming year, however, is seen as potentially successful for all stablecoins. In the first days of January, the total supply of stablecoins increased to a new record above $200.6B, of which TRON holds more than 58B tokens.

On average, the TRON network handled more than 2M daily transactions, spread across all sizes and categories. TRON handles both retail usage of USDT, and its native forms of DeFi and centralized swaps. The ongoing activity turned TRON into the biggest fee producer for the early days of 2025. In the first week of the new year, TRON produced $43.74M in fees, surpassing Ethereum’s $30.63M.

The usage of USDT on TRON expanded until early December 2024, when daily transfers slowed down. The network also saw a part of its USDT supply burned, while big exchanges rolled over their stablecoin holdings to Ethereum’s version of USDT.

TRON still dominates Ethereum in users and volumes

Despite rolling back some of the USDT issued on TRON, the chain still dominates over Ethereum in user count and the number of transfers. More than 83% of USDT users chose TRON’s TRC-20 version.

Those users produced up to 60% of daily transfers, with extremely small competition from new arrivals like Celo. TRON transfers still have a smaller average volume per user. Ethereum is still the leader with more than $233K in volume per user. TRON transfers tend to be lower, at around $41K per user on average. However, those transfers are not equally spread, and TRON still hosts a significant portion of whale and professional transactions.

Ethereum’s supply of USDT expanded to $79.6B and is considered the most liquid and widely tradable version, though used only for entry and exit points. TRON’s token is also used for e-commerce and P2P marketplaces.

The TRON network hosts a much smaller DeFi sector, and USDT is not as widely used for collateral purposes. TRON hosts $7.66B in value locked, most of it tied to JustLEND.

TRON retains a different stablecoin usage profile

The rise of TRON-based USDT spending shows a different trend for the past year. The rise of TRON activity coincides with a similar expansion on BNB Smart Chain. Those two chains offer cheaper transactions, while also tapping demand from the Asian crypto market.

Both senders and receivers grew on TRON and BNB Smart Chain, with 2 to 4 million daily active wallets.

TRON transactions under $100, however, have a smaller share, as small-scale users have shifted to BNB Smart Chain.

USDT on TRON retains its influence for professional-scale, or large-scale transactions. TRON dominates for transactions in the $1,000-$10K range and in the $10K- $100K range. The activity suggests whale transfers between exchanges, DEX facilities, or storage wallets.

The Tether treasury holds around $2.1B in TRC-20 stablecoins, ready to be deployed if the market demand increases. The TRC-20 version is held in several top exchanges. Within the top 10 wallets, USDT is key for OKX, Gate.IO, Kraken, and Bitfinex. Both Kraken and Bitfinex are also among the most active traders of the TRC-20 token, establishing higher liquidity for BTC and other assets. Bybit also holds over 105M TRC-20 USDT.

The usage of this stablecoin version faced a slowdown at the end of last year, as the EU requirements for stablecoins excluded USDT due to lacking cash reserves in a Euro Area bank account. The enforcement of MiCA regulations, however, has not diminished demand for other global transfers.

TRON-based stablecoins are also closely watched for potential crimes. The chain is watched by the T3 financial unit, which collaborates with TRON to lock wallets for suspicious activity. Since August 2024, $100M in assets has been locked, though this makes up a small fraction of the total TRC-20 stablecoin activity.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPI Bitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100. The 24-hour liquidation tally reached $632 to $705 million, roughly 82% of it longs. But spot ETF outflows began three sessions earlier and USDT's market cap has shrunk $6.6 billion in 60 days — the leveraged length left before the inflation print did. A double top at 81,890 and 81,080 leaves a measured target of 69,366.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
