TRON USDT from 0 to 89.3 billion: from unknown to widely known!

In seven years, TRC-20 USDT has accounted for 47% of the global USDT circulation, becoming the world’s largest “railway” for stablecoin payments! Becoming a blockchain that is as well-known in the crypto world as a household name!
1/ Start-up phase: from 0 to initial rollout
On April 17, 2019, Tron and Tether officially partnered to launch USDT under the TRC-20 standard on the TRON network!
At that time, Tron TRON attracted many users with its extremely low fees and second-level confirmations, and its monthly transfer volume also reached the hundreds of millions of dollars!
2/ Explosive growth: officially surpassing Ethereum to become the dominant player
Tron’s DPoS consensus + high TPS + ultra-low costs helped it begin to show its strengths in the stablecoin space!
From 2021 to 2022, it saw explosive growth and quickly surpassed Ethereum to become the world’s largest USDT circulation chain!
The share of TRON USDT in the global total also surged from single digits to over 30%!
3/ Acceleration and consolidation: monthly billion-level minting, momentum taking off
Starting in mid-2023, growth began to accelerate ⏩, and the monthly new issuance amount often exceeded $1 billion!
In just the first half of 2025, TRON minted more than $16 billion in new USDT!
In April of the same year, the circulating supply of TRON USDT officially broke through $70 billion and then quickly charged toward $80 billion!
4/ Now at a peak of 89.3 billion, firmly seated as the “King of Stablecoins”
As of the latest data, the total on-chain supply of USDT on the TRON network has reached approximately 89.35 billion!
This accounts for nearly half of the total global USDT supply, and TRON also handles the largest share of global stablecoin transfer volume (7.9 trillion for the full year of 2025, and nearly 2 trillion already in 2026 Q1)!
Currently, there are more than 1 million users on TRON who transfer USDT every day, meaning the TRON network processes millions of USDT transactions daily!
TRON USDT from 0 to 89.3 billion is not only a growth curve for a stablecoin, but also a vivid real-world example of “technological inclusiveness.” With ultra-low fees and second-level confirmations, it has turned USDT into a payment tool that people around the world—tens of millions of everyday users—can access in their daily lives.
On the track of low cost, high speed, and reliability, TRON has proven that sometimes, the simplest design is the most powerful.
The real revolution is never the most complex one—it is the one that is most needed!
