TRON DOMINATES GLOBAL RETAIL USDT TRANSFERS IN Q4 2025
More than half of all retail-sized USDT transfers in Q4 2025 happened on one network TRON.
According to CoinDesk Research, TRON processed 56% of global retail USDT transfers, the highest share among major blockchains.
This dominance didn’t come from hype it came from real, everyday usage: payments, remittances, and value transfers that keep networks alive.
Here’s how TRON maintained its lead:
♦️Scale at the user level Daily active users reached 2.8M, second only to Solana. Retail dominance is built on repeat usage, not headlines.
♦️Monetizing activity – Even in softer market conditions, TRON generated $100M in fees for the quarter. This is a signal of real economic throughput, not speculative spikes.
♦️ Strategic integrations – TRON plugged directly into ecosystems users already trust:
🔘Revolut brought TRX staking and remittances to 65M+ users.
🔘Kalshi integrated TRX/USDT for prediction markets, expanding stablecoin utility.
🔘LayerZero enabled cross-ecosystem TRX access, reducing friction.
🔘Ledger Live added native TRX storage and staking, reinforcing self-custody.
♦️ Relative asset strength – Despite a challenging quarter for risk assets, TRX outperformed BTC and other major treasury assets. The reason? usage, fees, and integrations quietly compounding.
The key takeaway:
Retail stablecoin adoption is sticky. Once users rely on a network for everyday transactions, switching costs rise.
TRON’s Q4 results show what happens when infrastructure, distribution, and demand align perfectly.
Next step? Watch retail stablecoin usage growth globally.
Networks already handling the majority of that flow like TRON don’t need to chase narratives. The numbers speak for themselves.
