Whales’ Activity Boosted TRON Network

CryptoQuant analyst Maarten has shared an update on X, showcasing exclusive charts from CryptoQuant that highlight the massive influx in activity using USDT on TRON. One graph, displaying the number of interactions per month and the value transferred, shows a peak of $694.5 billion in May, with a slight decrease in June.

This period marks a particularly active time in terms of trading and transfers, with a significant portion of that amount, $411 billion, being performed by large investors, often referred to as whales.

Further analysis reveals that 27 whales alone have facilitated more than half of the USDT volume on TRON in May, amounting to $411.2 billion across only 491 transactions.

The other chart provides a broader perspective on the transaction count of TRON throughout the years, showing a gradual increase from 2018 to 2025. Overall, more than 10.5 billion transactions have been executed on the network, a figure that is continuously rising, particularly with the increasing utilization of USDT.

Stablecoins: A Stable Force in Crypto

Stablecoins, such as USDT, are playing a crucial role in cryptocurrency use by providing stability during market fluctuations. The success of TRON can also be confirmed by market capitalization: the network has the largest amount of this stablecoin in all chains at 75.7 billion USDT.

In comparison, it has 71.4 billion on Ethereum and 54.1 billion on other chains, as recent data shows. There have been also 17 mints of over $1 billion of USDT on the network this year, and that momentum is accelerating, since we are just halfway through 2025.

This increase is the indicator of a change in the use of crypto.
