TRON’s TRX/USD is currently trading at $0.2668, a 1.65% increase in the last 24 hours, and a surge of over 2% on the weekly chart, according to PriceVolumeToken. The surge follows TRON’s expanding ecosystem and a significant shift in Tether USDT/USD activity from Ethereum ETH/USD to TRON.

The total USDT supply on the TRON network has surpassed Ethereum’s, reaching $75.8 billion. TRON has also beat Ethereum in daily USDT transfer volume since January 2025.

TRON peaked at $23.4 billion in December 2025, in daily USDT transfers. This is more than 2x Ethereum’s average of around $10 billion.

Since January 2025, the total USDT volume on TRON has been consistently higher than on Ethereum.

This year, TRON's USDT supply has increased by 27%, or about $16 billion. TRON is being recognized as the primary network for Tether-based transactions. TRON now holds over half of the total USDT supply globally, and Ethereum's share has dropped to approximately 49%, reported Cryptorank.

Increased stablecoin liquidity on TRON could lead to more activity in TRX due to higher network demand.
