Recently, according to the latest data from Tether's official website, the USDT issuance on the TRON network has exceeded $75.7 billion, officially surpassing the total issuance on Ethereum and occupying more than half of the total USDT market value. After half a year, it has once again topped the global largest USDT issuance blockchain. This historic milestone further solidifies TRON's absolute dominance in the stablecoin field and adds another key footnote to the blockchain empire of its founder Justin Sun.
This is another milestone moment for TRON after its global user accounts exceeded 300 million and its native token TRX spot ETF was submitted to the SEC for listing.
Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, stated, "Currently, 50.2% of the total USDT supply is on the TRON network. Although the 0.2% above 50% seems like a small number, we can now say that more than half of the USDT is on the TRON network. Keep pushing, the goal of 100 billion is not a dream, but a preview!"
TRON Rises Again: Achievement Demonstrates Market Choice
Since mid-2023, TRON's USDT issuance has been continuously growing, rapidly expanding at a rate of over $1 billion per month. In the first half of 2025 alone, the TRON network minted new USDT worth over $16 billion.
On May 15, 2025, the total circulating USDT on the TRON chain officially surpassed Ethereum, reclaiming the throne of the world's largest USDT issuance network. Although Ethereum had briefly led in the past half year, the market ultimately demonstrated its preference for TRON through actual actions. With low transaction fees, fast settlement speeds, and stable network performance, TRON has become the preferred stablecoin settlement platform for global users and institutions.
In early May, the Trump family's cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial announced the integration of its USD1 stablecoin into the TRON network, further enhancing this momentum. This move not only expanded TRON's stablecoin ecosystem but also brought more liquidity and user base.
Data shows that TRON is far ahead in the payment settlement field. Its daily average transfer volume reaches 8 million transactions, with a daily average transaction amount exceeding $25 billion, far surpassing other public chains. Additionally, TRON's decentralized exchange trading volume grew by 40% in April 2025, from $3.4 billion to $4.9 billion, demonstrating the strong momentum of its ecosystem. These data not only highlight TRON's dominance in the stablecoin field but also emphasize its core position in DeFi and blockchain infrastructure construction.
Justin Sun and TRON: Once Again Demonstrating the Strength of Chinese Blockchain
As the founder of TRON, Justin Sun has led TRON from an emerging public chain to a global blockchain industry leader with his keen market insight and unremitting innovative spirit. This time, surpassing Ethereum in USDT issuance is not only a victory for TRON but also another global recognition of Chinese blockchain power.
As a pioneer with rich experience in the blockchain field, he often gives speeches at major blockchain summits and forums, sharing TRON's development philosophy and future vision. Justin Sun firmly believes that blockchain technology will profoundly change the global economic landscape, and he is committed to building TRON into the cornerstone of global financial infrastructure. Through continuous innovation and technological upgrades, TRON has made significant progress in performance, security, and scalability, providing more convenient, efficient, and secure blockchain services for global users.
It is worth mentioning that Justin Sun not only focuses on technological innovation but also actively promotes industry compliance and development. In September 2024, TRON, together with Tether and TRM Labs, established the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), successfully freezing over $150 million in criminal assets, demonstrating its commitment to global financial security. Additionally, at the 2025 Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum, Justin Sun proposed an innovative concept of issuing TRON addresses for AI, opening up a new path for the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
TRON's Future: Cornerstone of Global Financial Infrastructure
TRON's rise again is not just a victory in USDT issuance but a comprehensive demonstration of its ecosystem's leadership. As of May 2025, TRON's total transaction volume has exceeded 10.3 billion transactions, with over 306 million accounts, becoming one of the most active blockchain networks globally. Its ultra-low transaction fees stand in stark contrast to Ethereum's high gas fees, attracting a large number of users to switch from Ethereum to TRON.
Market analysts point out that TRON's success stems from its precise grasp of user needs. Whether it's payment needs in emerging markets or the rapid expansion of the DeFi ecosystem, TRON provides efficient, low-cost solutions. As CryptoQuant researcher Maartunn said: "TRON's USDT issuance growth reflects its absolute advantage in the stablecoin field and users' high trust."
TRON's USDT issuance once again surpassing Ethereum is a perfect combination of technology, market, and vision, and another great achievement of Justin Sun as a leading figure in Chinese blockchain. Under Justin Sun's leadership, TRON has not only become the absolute hegemon in the stablecoin field but also a pioneer of global blockchain innovation. In the future, TRON will continue to build a more secure, efficient, and decentralized financial infrastructure with a global community, paving the way for the arrival of the Web3 era.
