Tron Speed, TRON USDT Issuance Reaches a New Record High — 83.4 Billion!

USDT on the TRON network is growing at an extremely fast pace, with approximately $22.7 billion in new issuance in 2025. In 2026, just beginning, the new issuance has already reached $2 billion!

The rapid growth of TRON USDT is definitely for a reason:

1/ Extremely low transaction fees
TRON’s single USDT transfer fee is very low, making it highly friendly for small and high-frequency transfers. That’s why many emerging market users and retail investors choose TRON — because it’s “cheap to almost negligible.”

2/ Very high transfer speed and stability
Block confirmation time is about 3 seconds, with TPS easily supporting thousands of transactions. The network rarely congests, and there are almost no cases of “transfers stuck for hours.” Compared to other chains, TRON offers users a “smooth” experience.

3/ Emerging markets & cross-border payments/remittances’ essential scenarios
TRON has become an de facto US dollar transfer channel in many countries and regions. Especially in areas with insufficient banking services, strict exchange controls, and high remittance costs, USDT on TRON is almost the only low-cost, high-efficiency solution. 2025 data shows TRON processed 56%-65% of global small retail USDT transfers, with daily stablecoin transfer volumes often exceeding $20-30 billion.

4/ Ongoing large-scale issuance support from Tether
Tether has continued to directly mint massive amounts of USDT on TRON over the past few years. In 2025 alone, an additional 22.7 billion was issued, and early 2026 saw rapid issuance of over 1 billion. This indicates that Tether officially regards TRON as a core strategic network rather than a peripheral chain.

5/ Network effect and positive feedback loop (flywheel effect)
USDT → Liquidity improves → More DeFi, OTC, and payment scenarios use TRON → More users come in → Need for more USDT → Tether continues to issue more. Currently, USDT dominates on TRON (over 99% stablecoin share), making it difficult for other stablecoins to shake the market.

In summary:
The rapid growth of TRON USDT is mainly because “cheap + fast + sufficient” perfectly meets the real needs of the world’s largest demand groups (small cross-border payments, OTC trading, emerging market users). Coupled with exchange defaults, continuous Tether support, and the network flywheel effect, this has created the current overwhelming advantage.
