@Justin Sun孙宇晨 just laid out #TRON ’s 2026 vision in a wide-ranging chat with Cointelegraph. Beyond the headlines, the focus is clear: make @TRON DAO the go-to rails for institutional money. Sun isn’t talking hype, he’s talking scale, liquidity, and production-grade adoption.
Key takeaways:
• TRON already moves huge volumes — $83B of USDT circulating — proving the network can handle real value at scale. • WalletConnect integrations and UX improvements make onboarding faster and friction-free for apps and users. • Transaction batching, in collaboration with CT Dev Hub, is designed to reduce costs and increase throughput, making high-frequency and enterprise settlement practical. • Sun wants institutions like BlackRock, NYSE, and Nasdaq using TRON rails, trillions on-chain isn’t just ambition, it’s actionable if the infrastructure and liquidity exist.
For builders and partners, the practical play is clear: prioritize wallet and exchange integrations, explore batching pilots, and design treasury and enterprise flows that leverage TRON’s stablecoin dominance.
Bottom line: This interview isn’t just PR theater. It combines bold vision with concrete engineering and liquidity facts, the foundations needed to turn TRON into institutional-grade settlement rails in 2026.
Two sessions you won’t want to miss at HSC Hong Kong on Feb 12.
Sam Elfarrra from #TRON and Matthew Dawson from the #Ethereum Foundation are bringing practical, high-signal insights for builders and operators navigating both ecosystem growth and enterprise adoption.
Sam will break down how @TRON DAO coordinates developer tools, liquidity, and governance to turn prototypes into live products that scale. Expect actionable tips on launching wallets, marketplaces, and DeFi primitives with repeatable results.
Matthew brings the enterprise lens, showing how institutions actually adopt public blockchains. From custody and compliance to pilot design that converts interest into real deployments, his session is for anyone building products that need regulatory and operational rigor.
Attending both gives a full view: how to accelerate developer traction while meeting the real-world requirements of institutional partners.
If you’re building on-chain products, wallets, or payment rails, Feb 12 is a rare chance to move from conversations to commitments. Prepare a brief, know your ask, and use the breaks to connect with decision-makers.
在 GWDC 2026,我们不会只停留在“愿景”层面。 TRON 将展示正在运行的生产级系统:链上结算如何支撑真实支付场景,DeFi 如何服务规模化用户,以及可扩展基础设施如何连接 Web3 与现实商业世界。
无论你是开发者、创业者,还是正在评估区块链方案的企业决策者,GWDC 2026 都将是一个深入了解 TRON 技术进展、生态合作与开发工具的绝佳机会。

TRON is stepping into a defining moment in early 2026.
We’re excited to share that TRON will serve as Co-Host and Diamond Sponsor of GWDC 2026 in Hong Kong. 💎 This partnership reflects TRON’s growing role as real-world blockchain infrastructure, not just a protocol, but a settlement layer used at global scale.
Since launching its mainnet in 2018, TRON has focused on one core goal: making on-chain activity fast, affordable, and practical. With high throughput, low fees, and EVM compatibility, the ecosystem supports smart contracts, TRC-721 NFTs, and a full spectrum of DeFi applications that developers can ship today.
TRON’s position in stablecoin settlement is especially notable. By mid-2025, nearly $80.7B USDT had been issued on TRON, accounting for over 50% of circulating USDT worldwide — a clear signal that the network has become a primary rail for payments, liquidity, and value transfer.
At GWDC 2026, the focus will be on what’s already working: production-ready integrations, developer tooling, real merchant use cases, and conversations with teams building at scale. From scalable settlement and stablecoin economics to NFTs, AI integrations, and enterprise adoption, TRON’s presence will be hands-on and practical.
If your work involves moving real value on-chain — payments, remittances, tokenized assets, or high-frequency dApp UX — this is where those conversations converge.

期待在香港与全球开发者和合作伙伴见面,一起把区块链的下一步落到现实之中。 See you at GWDC 2026.
Bitkub is introducing a WIN THB trading pair, bringing one of @TRON DAO ’s key infrastructure tokens closer to local users and builders. According to the exchange’s timeline, deposits and withdrawals are set to open on February 2 2026 at 18:00 (GMT+7) and trading is expected to begin on February 3 2026 at 17:00 (GMT+7).
➡️ https://support.bitkub.com/en/solutions/articles?id=000009381 This setup will make it far easier for Thai participants to buy and use $WIN without cross-chain steps or extra conversions.
➥ Direct fiat access changes the experience for mainstream users. A local THB pair means people can acquire WIN straight with Thai baht, eliminating extra layers like bridges or multi-leg swaps, fewer steps, lower fees, and much better accessibility.
➥ Listings on a regulated regional exchange also expand custody options and liquidity. When more traders and applications can hold WIN easily, spreads tend to tighten and deeper markets emerge. That makes WIN more usable across trading and integration paths.
➥ This matters on the technical side too. WIN is not just a speculative token; it fuels the WINkLink oracle network by incentivizing nodes, paying for data, and supporting governance. Easier local access can turn interest into hands-on experimentation from developers and integrators.
➥ Also, a THB trading pair adds a local price reference that benefits global price discovery. New reference markets can help market makers and aggregators align routing and arbitrage across chains and exchanges.
Quick reminder on WIN: ⤵️
WIN is the utility and governance token that underpins WINkLink’s decentralized oracle services on TRON, providing reliable price feeds, AnyAPI integrations, and verifiable randomness that power DeFi protocols, games, insurance products and automated systems. Liquidity and accessibility directly affect how efficiently teams build on these services.
Who should pay attention: ⤵️
➝ Builders and integrators can use this moment to onboard Thai developers and partners. ➝ Liquidity providers should monitor early spreads and volume. ➝ Traders should be ready for potential volatility around launch. ➝ Community members and educators can highlight how WIN’s utility fits concrete infrastructure use cases.
Zooming out: ⤵️
Every new fiat pair on a major regional exchange reinforces TRON’s broader narrative of usable infrastructure. Bringing WIN into a Thai fiat market can strengthen local engagement, deepen liquidity, and bring more real-world users into the oracle economy.
A Bitkub listing with direct fiat access is a meaningful step for WINkLink adoption. It simplifies the entry point for Thai users and supports stronger distribution, liquidity and practical usage within the TRON ecosystem.
If you want DeFi that actually works, not just sounds good, the @JUST DAO community is worth your time.
This is where people come to use DeFi on #TRON , not just talk about it. Builders, traders, and everyday users share practical experience around lending, minting, staking, and managing risk with tools that are predictable and composable. Whether you’re brand new or already running multi-protocol strategies, you’ll fit right in.
Join us here 👉 t.me/just_defi
What makes the group different: You won’t find empty hype or vague alpha. Conversations focus on execution:
• Simple walkthroughs for supplying assets, minting jTokens, staking sTRX, and claiming rewards • Real-time help with wallets, transactions, and common UX issues • Early updates on DAO proposals, parameter changes, and treasury decisions • Strategy talk based on live positions, not theory • Alerts for campaigns, incentives, and ecosystem events so you can plan calmly
Why it’s useful: Members actively discuss how to keep capital productive while staying liquid, how to model net APY after fees, and how to monitor things that actually matter, utilization rates, oracle health, and liquidation ranges. It’s DeFi treated like finance, not a casino.
Join the Telegram, check the pinned guides, and start with a small test action. Ask a focused question if you get stuck, someone will walk you through it. Scale only when you’re comfortable.
Governance matters here: JUST isn’t passive. Votes shape protocol economics, rewards, and treasury direction. If you use the tools or hold JST, participating means having a real say in how the system evolves.
If you’re ready to move from holding tokens to *using* them intelligently, the JUST community is a solid place to learn, test, and grow one measured step at a time.
A quiet but important shift just crossed a major threshold on TRON.
Circulating $USDT on the network has moved past 83 billion dollars, and the relevance of that number is operational, not symbolic. This is what it looks like when stablecoins actually circulate at scale instead of sitting idle. Liquidity deepens, spreads tighten, and moving large amounts of value becomes faster and cheaper.
What makes this meaningful is usage, not issuance. #TRON ’s stablecoin rails are settling very large daily volumes, repeatedly, under real conditions. High circulating supply combined with consistent velocity creates an environment where payments, DEXs, lending markets, and market makers can support serious size without friction.
For builders, this unlocks practical advantages. Wallets and remittance apps gain a reliable low cost settlement layer. DEXs and perp markets benefit from deeper USDT pairs and reduced slippage. Lending protocols operate more efficiently with stable and abundant liquidity. For enterprises and fintech partners, proven liquidity and settlement reliability matter more than theoretical throughput.
Scale does introduce responsibility. Concentration and operational risks require planning. Teams should diversify where appropriate, monitor settlement performance closely, and ensure off ramp and failover paths are ready. Mature rails demand mature operations.
Eighty three billion in circulating USDT signals that TRON has moved beyond experimentation. It is functioning as a real settlement layer for stable value, and that shifts product decisions from exploration to execution.
Over the past three months, Mercuryo has routed around 21 million dollars of on ramp volume directly onto TRON. That number reflects real user choice. People are selecting #TRON as the destination for fiat to crypto flows because the experience works. When on ramps are smooth, users stay. When they are not, they leave.
This flow has concrete effects across the ecosystem.
Direct funding into TRON wallets means users can buy USDT, USDD, or JST without bridges or extra swaps. Fewer steps lead to higher conversion and better retention, especially for first time users who expect app level simplicity. Those users do not stop at the wallet. They move into DEXs, lending markets, and payments.
Liquidity also improves. Consistent on ramp volume increases stablecoin availability on chain, which tightens spreads and reduces slippage. That supports larger trades, deeper lending pools, and more reliable execution for applications built on TRON infrastructure.
For merchants and payment providers, direct fiat rails translate into cleaner settlement. Stablecoins arriving natively on TRON simplify reconciliation, shorten cash cycles, and enable use cases like instant payouts, subscriptions, and cross border payments with lower overhead.
Geography matters too. Mercuryo operates in regions where TRON already has strong product market fit. Combined with low fees, this makes stablecoins practical for remittances, freelance income, and small business payments. In these markets, ease of access matters more than yield.
There is also a compliance layer. Regulated fiat rails and KYC processes make it easier for partners and institutions to integrate TRON based settlement without friction. That expands the addressable use cases beyond retail.
Twenty one million dollars in routed volume is not just activity, it is behavior.
Energy just got cheaper on TRON and that matters for how you operate.
#JustLendDAO has reduced the Energy Rental base rate from 15 percent to 8 percent. Since Energy Rental allows users to rent resources instead of staking TRX, this change lowers the cost of sustained on chain activity and makes execution more predictable.
→ What the numbers look like At the new rate, 100,000 Energy costs about 5.673 TRX per day, roughly 56 SUN. This translates protocol mechanics into something usable for budgeting. If you run bots, relayers, or automated strategies, multiply this daily cost by active addresses or runtime to estimate monthly spend.
→ Who benefits most Traders and market makers see lower per trade overhead and wider execution windows. Builders and dApp teams face less friction when testing and onboarding users. Bridge operators and relayers gain more predictable cross chain unit economics. DAOs and treasuries can stretch operational budgets further.
→ How to take advantage Active traders can cautiously increase execution frequency and measure net PnL. Market makers may justify tighter spreads or adjusted sizing. Builders can test batching writes or expanding background jobs, then validate impact. DAOs can allocate small energy budgets to onboarding or GasFree style experiences.
→ Risk and ops notes Energy pricing can change, so build buffers into budgets. Track TRX and SUN spend per address and ensure workflows can pause gracefully if conditions tighten.
→ What to do now Simulate expected usage on the Energy Rental page and start with a controlled test. Measure for a week, review results, then scale where the data supports it. ➡️ https://app.justlend.org/energyRental?lang=en-US
Bottom line An 8 percent base rate makes active on chain execution cheaper and more predictable across TRON. Use this window to optimize operations and improve UX, but only with clear metrics and disciplined sizing.
The $ACU USDT pair is now available with up to 20x leverage, creating opportunities for traders, liquidity providers, and arbitrage strategies. New listings reward preparation, not impulse, so execution discipline matters from the first trade.
Start with the basics. ACU is the base asset and USDT is the quote. Leverage amplifies exposure, which means both profits and losses accelerate. Before entering, map liquidation levels, margin requirements, and worst case outcomes.
Let risk define position size. With high leverage, even small moves can erase equity. Keep risk per trade tight and avoid concentrating capital in a single position.
Execution quality is critical. Limit orders help control entry and reduce slippage, especially during early volatility. Always check orderbook depth at your intended size before committing.
Liquidity and funding deserve attention. Thin books widen spreads, and funding rates shift costs between longs and shorts. Track both and include them in your expected PnL.
Risk management is non-negotiable. Use stop losses to cap downside and consider trailing stops to protect gains as price moves in your favor. Fees and slippage also matter, so model net returns, not headline profits.
Avoid oversized bets. Leverage should increase flexibility, not force all capital into one idea. Where possible, hedge exposure and stay alert to catalysts that can trigger sharp moves.
A smart approach is to start small. Run a pilot trade to understand volatility, execution quality, and funding behavior before scaling. Market makers should manage inventory actively, especially as launch conditions normalize.
Final thought A new listing is an opportunity to participate, not a guarantee of profit. Trade with discipline, protect capital, and measure results.
Crypto adoption hasn’t stalled because of tech, it’s stalled because of friction.
Gas tokens, fee estimation, failed transactions, extra approvals… all of that cognitive overhead adds up. GasFree removes it entirely.
With #GasFree , sending USDT becomes exactly what users expect: → Send USDT → Fees deducted directly in-token → Done
No swaps, no native gas balance, no second wallet to manage.
For new users, this is huge. There’s no need to understand network mechanics or preload gas just to move money. For experienced users, it’s faster and more predictable, one balance, one action, zero interruptions.
The downstream impact is even bigger: • Fewer abandoned transfers • Faster onboarding • Cleaner payment flows for wallets • Net-of-fee settlements for merchants • Fewer support tickets tied to “insufficient gas”
On @TRON DAO , GasFree goes even further. Thanks to #JUSTLENDDAO ’s 90% gas fee subsidy, transfer costs are reduced by up to 60%, bringing some transactions down to ~1 USDT.
For first-time users, it’s simple: ✔ One-time 1 USDT activation ✔ After that, transfers stay low-cost and frictionless
From a developer perspective, GasFree unlocks cleaner design: ➟ Atomic payment flows ➟ Single-call transfers ➟ Subscription payments & microtransactions ➟ One-click merchant checkouts that actually feel Web2-smooth
Yes, there are trade-offs, tokenomics, liquidity management, and governance guardrails matter. But when implemented transparently, with clear fee previews and audit-ready accounting, the UX gains outweigh the complexity.
GasFree isn’t about hiding fees. It’s about removing mental load.
GasFree + JustLend DAO = the lowest, cleanest fee experience on TRON.
Justin Sun at LONGITUDE Hong Kong A Private Institutional Forum
Most crypto conversations happen on stages. The ones that move capital happen in private rooms.
On February 12 Cointelegraph brings @Justin Sun孙宇晨 founder of @TRON DAO to LONGITUDE Hong Kong for an invite only evening at the Four Seasons Hotel. The room is curated for senior leaders who are less interested in headlines and more focused on execution.
This is not a networking mixer or a conference panel. It is a working forum where executives from Web3 fintech and institutional finance engage directly on what is ready for real world deployment including on chain payments stablecoin settlement custody infrastructure and compliance aligned DeFi.
- Why this room matters: ⤵️
Justin Sun operates at the center of liquidity payments and high throughput settlement. That position creates a rare connection between large capital pools and blockchain infrastructure already handling meaningful volume. The conversations here are practical and outcome driven with a focus on pilots integrations and timelines.
- What happens inside: ⤵️
Curated discussions on infrastructure reliability settlement guarantees oracle integrity and regulatory design. Targeted networking with senior decision makers who can approve pilots and allocate budgets. Live demonstrations from wallets custody providers payment processors and blockchain settlement trials. Direct regulatory perspective on AML KYC design custody risk and feasibility in regulated corridors.
- Who should attend: ⤵️
CTOs heads of payments treasury and operations leaders custodial infrastructure providers and founders with production deployments. If you are building settlement rails tokenized fiat custody or oracle services this is a room built for technical depth and commercial clarity.
- Come prepared: ⤵️
Attendees are encouraged to bring a concise one page brief outlining integration points compliance posture and a clear pilot proposal including timeline budget and success metrics. Momentum from the evening favors rapid follow up and near term execution.
- The outcome: ⤵️
Private forums like this consistently lead to tangible results including pilot launches integration agreements and formal statements of intent. For TRON and its partners this evening can accelerate settlement pilots expand custody relationships and sharpen regulatory roadmaps.
Conclusively, an evening with Justin Sun at the Four Seasons is not about visibility. It is about alignment. For the right builders and institutions alignment becomes execution and execution becomes shipped infrastructure.
#AINFT’s AI Service Platform is quietly shifting how AI shows up in Web3. Instead of bolting AI onto products as a novelty, it treats intelligence as shared infrastructure: multi-model chat, wallet-native access via TronLink, token-gated usage, and APIs that developers can actually ship with.
It lowers integration friction and removes the usual engineering overhead that keeps AI locked behind complex billing, identity, and permission systems.
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬: ⤵️
You don’t need to overthink it, start with practical wins:
➝ Auto-generate readable metadata for NFT collections ➝ Deploy curator agents that tag, rank, and surface quality listings ➝ Offer on-demand provenance or collection summaries embedded directly into metadata
These features improve marketplace UX immediately and save creators from hours of manual work.
𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨: ⤵️
AINFT’s hybrid model gets the tradeoff right. Inference stays off-chain for speed and cost efficiency, while access control, ownership, and payments remain on-chain. Teams get AI capabilities without sacrificing transparency or rebuilding their stack from scratch.
For product leads and creators:
✅ Track cost per AI call. ✅ Measure engagement lift. ✅ Gate premium intelligence with tokens or subscriptions. ✅ Creators can monetize agent runtimes or license specialized models as services - turning AI utility into predictable revenue instead of a sunk cost.
AINFT’s launch signals a bigger shift for @TRON DAO : moving beyond pure finance into content, intelligence, and interactive UX.
For user-heavy dApps, this removes a major blocker to real adoption.
Stablecoin pegs don’t break because of theory, they break because fixing them is slow or expensive. PSM fixes that.
TRON DAO Reserve’s PSM (Peg Stability Module) lets users swap USDD and approved stablecoins at a fixed 1:1 rate, with zero fees and zero slippage. No AMMs, no price impact, just clean parity.
How it helps: • Instant peg correction when USDD drifts • Predictable execution for users and treasuries • Large swaps without slippage or fee drag • Simpler UX for wallets and merchants
Why it matters: PSM acts as a parity anchor for the TRON ecosystem, tightening spreads across DEXs and reducing risk for lending, payments, and on-chain settlement.
Who benefits: Retail users, arbitrageurs, DAOs, treasuries, and payment rails — anyone who needs stablecoins to behave like stablecoins.
➡️ Access: https://sun.io/?lang=en-US#/p
Bottom line: PSM isn’t flashy, it’s infrastructure. A fee-free, slippage-free utility that makes USDD more reliable and the TRON stablecoin stack stronger.
Low utilization means modest supplier yields and very cheap borrowing. Not flashy but predictable, and that predictability creates optionality.
What this tells us:
Solid liquidity: Over half a million supplied gives WIN enough depth for retail, treasuries, and mid-size strategies. jWIN isn’t just a receipt it’s a usable DeFi building block within the TRON ecosystem.
Stable rate environment: Low utilization keeps rates compressed. This isn’t a yield-chasing market; it’s a low-volatility parking spot with composability upside.
Limited speculative pressure: Minimal borrow suggests WIN isn’t currently being used for leverage or aggressive trading. That can change quickly if incentives, listings, or campaigns appear.
How to play it:
Conservative holders / treasuries: • Deploy a small slice (1–5%) of idle WIN for passive yield • Scale only if utilization or incentives improve
Tactical traders: • Cheap borrowing lowers carry for short-term strategies • Watch utilization closely spikes can reprice risk fast
Builders: • jWIN works well as a predictable treasury instrument • Useful for automated liquidity or reward flows
Key signals to watch: • Utilization rate • Borrow growth • Incentive or governance updates • WIN price volatility
Bottom line: WIN on JustLendDAO is a supplier-friendly, low-volatility market built for discipline and composability, not hype. Size carefully, monitor utilization, and stay ready for demand shifts.
#TRON ( $TRX ) is now live on coincheck, both on their exchange and OTC services! 🇯🇵
This makes buying, selling, and holding TRX easier than ever for Japanese users, and it’s a big win for the @TRON DAO ecosystem.
Here’s why this matters: ⤵️
1️⃣ Smoother access for everyone: Coincheck is one of Japan’s most user-friendly crypto platforms. With TRX listed domestically, there’s no need to bridge assets or juggle multiple exchanges. That means faster fiat-to-crypto conversions, simpler wallets, and less technical hassle for newcomers.
2️⃣ Better liquidity, better trading: A local listing concentrates orders, tightens spreads, and attracts market makers. Traders benefit from faster fills and lower slippage, while the ecosystem gains a TRX market that’s more usable for real-world transactions.
3️⃣ Real-world use cases: With easier onramps, TRX can be spent more seamlessly, from merchant payments to remittances. Businesses can settle and hedge faster, reducing exposure to volatility.
4️⃣ Compliance you can trust: Coincheck’s regulated platform brings KYC/AML and secure custody. This lowers risk for users and institutions, making TRX adoption safer for everyone.
5️⃣ Momentum for developers: Local support boosts the community. NFT platforms, DeFi apps, and other projects targeting Japanese users now have a bigger audience, opening doors to collaborations, integrations, and events that strengthen the TRON ecosystem.
Tips for getting started:
-- Open a Coincheck account and complete verification. -- Start small to understand fees and market behavior. -- Consider secure custody for long-term holdings, like hardware wallets. -- Keep tax obligations in mind.
Coincheck listing isn’t just a headline, it’s a practical step toward making TRON more accessible, liquid, and widely used in Japan. If you’re curious about trading, payments, or joining the TRON ecosystem, now’s the perfect time.
AI on Web3 is finally getting practical, not just flashy demos, but real infrastructure.
With the launch of AINFT’s AI Service Platform, TRON is quietly laying the groundwork for AI as a native utility: multi-model chat, TronLink wallet integration, token-gated access, and dev-ready APIs that make embedding intelligence into dApps way less painful.
The real win is that builders don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
You can already: ⤵️ ➟ Auto-generate clean, human-readable NFT metadata. ➟ Deploy curator agents to tag, rank, and surface better listings. ➟ Offer instant provenance summaries stored directly in metadata.
These are small upgrades that meaningfully improve UX and save creators from endless manual work.
➥ AINFT’s hybrid setup (off-chain inference + on-chain payments and access control) strikes the right balance. Heavy AI workloads stay fast and affordable, while ownership, usage, and monetization remain verifiable on-chain. No bloated infra, no black boxes.
➟ For product teams, this opens clear paths: Track cost-per-call, measure engagement lift, and gate advanced AI features behind tokens or subs. ➟ For creators, agent runtimes and curated models become services, not side experiments.
This feels like a signal moment for TRON: moving beyond pure finance into content, intelligence, and interactive experiences. If you’re building UX-heavy dApps, #AINFT removes one of the biggest blockers, useful AI without messy billing or identity plumbing.
Over the last quarter alone, @TRON DAO absorbed roughly $4B in new USDT supply. On many chains, that figure by itself would be enough to put them near the top of the stablecoin rankings. Here, it’s just incremental growth layered onto an already dominant base.
➤ That distinction matters. Stablecoins don’t expand on speculation. They scale with necessity. Billions in new USDT only appear when there’s sustained demand to move value efficiently, cheaply, quickly, and without surprises.
➤ #TRON has quietly become the settlement rail of choice for USDT across large parts of Asia, Latin America, and other emerging markets. In environments where transaction costs aren’t a minor annoyance but a real limitation, fractions of a cent and near-instant finality change behavior at scale.
➤ The composition of that growth is just as important as the headline number. Expanding stablecoin supply usually follows real economic activity: payments, remittances, merchant settlement, treasury flows. This isn’t just capital rotating between venues, it’s capital being placed where it’s actively used.
➤ There’s also a durability signal here. Even when broader crypto narratives cool off, USDT on TRON continues to grow. That kind of consistency points to embedded usage. Once businesses and individuals rely on TRON rails for day-to-day value transfer, they don’t churn easily. Reliability compounds.
➤ While attention chases incentive programs and short-term TVL spikes, TRON’s trajectory looks different. It’s quieter. More functional. Less speculative. But arguably more foundational. Stablecoins are crypto’s infrastructure layer, and TRON is carrying an outsized share of that load.
If a single quarter of USDT growth on one network could stand alone as a top chain, that’s not a footnote. It’s a signal.
On-chain payments only matter when people can actually use them.
That’s where Oobit’s Plug & Pay becomes a real unlock for TRON, not as another payments product, but as a direct bridge between on-chain value and everyday spending.
@TRON DAO already leads in fast, low-cost settlement and stablecoin circulation: What’s been missing is the last mile. Plug & Pay lets users spend TRON-native assets like USDT, USDD, and JST anywhere Visa is accepted, without forcing off-ramps, exchange withdrawals, or complex workflows. Stored balances become real purchasing power instantly.
➥ This has outsized impact in emerging markets: TRON’s adoption is strongest where fees and speed aren’t optional. Removing long integrations and heavy compliance costs means wallets can ship card-based spending fast, with Apple Pay and Google Pay where available. More spending translates directly into more on-chain activity.
➥ The economics strengthen the entire ecosystem: Keeping settlement on TRON rails increases stablecoin velocity, drives volume to DEXs and lending markets, and keeps fees circulating inside the network. That creates a feedback loop for liquidity programs, buybacks, and sustainable growth.
➥ UX parity with Web2 is a requirement, not a bonus: Familiar card rails eliminate friction for users and merchants alike. No education curve, no new checkout flows, just pay. That’s how onboarding improves and retention sticks.
➥ Compliance is handled, not reinvented: @oobit abstracts issuing, KYC/AML, settlement, and regional regulation. TRON projects avoid rebuilding regulated infrastructure and can focus on product, partnerships, and distribution.
➥ New products become immediately viable: DAOs can run expense cards, treasuries can operate in USDD, creators can receive and spend earnings instantly. Practical use cases move from theory to execution.
➥ Network effects compound quickly: Each wallet or exchange integration becomes a new on-ramp for TRON value, strengthening merchant acceptance and reinforcing partnerships across fintech and crypto infrastructure.
Clear next steps for TRON teams: • Integrate into high-usage wallets and exchanges. • Make USDT/USDD spending one-tap. • Incentivize merchants settling on TRON. • Use issued cards for DAO ops and creator payouts.
This is how TRON turns scale into everyday utility.
Recent data from Arkham, CoinDesk Data, and Messari paints a clear picture ➝ @TRON DAO is now one of the most heavily used financial settlement layers in crypto, especially for real-world payments. #TRON isn’t just scaling, it’s quietly becoming the backbone of global stablecoin payments.
Here’s why that matters: ⤵️
🔹 Stablecoin powerhouse ➝ $83B+ USDT circulating on TRON ➝ $20B+ moved daily across ~2M transactions ➝ 2nd-largest stablecoin settlement network globally ➝ 54–60% CAGR across core metrics since 2021 ➝ YoY daily growth: ➝ Volume +45.9% ➝ Transactions +11.2% ➝ Active addresses +9.8% (~1M/day) ➝ Strong adoption across Asia & emerging markets, driving ~$341B annualized volume
🔹 Payments dominance & DeFi acceleration: ➝ 2.8M daily active users in Q4 2025 ➝ 78% share of global P2P stablecoin transactions ➝ 56% of retail USDT transfers under $1,000 ➝ Intent-based transactions surged +899% QoQ to $449M (3rd globally) ➝ DeFi led by JustLend with $3.9B TVL ➝ Deflationary model backed by $17M in JST buybacks & burns
🔹 Ecosystem expansion & infrastructure upgrades: ➝ Integrations with Revolut, Kalshi, and The Graph ➝ TRX live on Base for cross-chain access ➝ USDT on TRON cleared by ADGM for regulated use ➝ SunX surpasses $25B cumulative volume with zero-gas, high-speed trading ➝ Network upgrades improving performance, security & EVM compatibility
TRON’s narrative has shifted ➝ from a high-throughput chain to global financial infrastructure, built for scale, low cost, regulatory progress, and everyday utility.
