Recently, according to the latest data on the Tether official website, the supply of USDT on the TRON network has exceeded 75.7 billion US dollars, officially surpassing Ethereum's total supply, occupying over half of the USDT total market cap. After half a year, TRON has once again taken the top spot as the largest USDT issuance blockchain globally. This historic milestone signifies TRON's further consolidation of its dominant position in the stablecoin field, and adds a key footnote to its founder Justin Sun's blockchain empire.

This is also another milestone moment for TRON after its global user accounts exceeded 300 million, and its native token TRX spot ETF submitted a listing application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

TRON's founder Justin Sun stated, "Currently, 50.2% of the total USDT supply is on the TRON network. Although the 0.2% above 50% may seem like a small percentage, we can now say that over half of all USDT is on the TRON network. Keep charging ahead, aiming for a hundred billion, not a dream, but a preview!"

TRON Reaches New Heights: Achievements Reflect Market Choice

Since mid-2023, the supply of USDT on TRON has been continuously growing, expanding rapidly at a rate of over 1 billion USD per month. In just the first half of 2025, the TRON network minted over 16 billion USD worth of new USDT.

On May 15, 2025, the circulating supply of USDT on the TRON network officially surpassed Ethereum, once again reclaiming the title of the world's largest USDT issuance network. Despite Ethereum briefly leading in the past six months, the market ultimately showed its favor for TRON through tangible actions. With low transaction fees, fast settlement speeds, and stable network performance, TRON has become the preferred stablecoin settlement platform for global users and institutions.

In early May, the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial, announced the integration of its USD1 stablecoin into the TRON network, further boosting this momentum. This move not only expands TRON's stablecoin ecosystem but also brings in more liquidity and user base.

The data shows that TRON, in the field of payment settlement, is truly in a league of its own. Its average daily transaction volume reaches as high as 8 million transactions, with a daily transaction amount surpassing $25 billion, far exceeding other public blockchains. Additionally, TRON's decentralized exchange transaction volume grew by 40% in April 2025, soaring from $3.4 billion to $4.9 billion, demonstrating the strong momentum of its ecosystem. These data not only highlight TRON's dominance in the stablecoin field but also underscore its core position in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain infrastructure development.

Justin Sun and TRON: Once Again Showcasing the Strength of Chinese Blockchain

As the founder of TRON, Justin Sun, with his keen market insights and relentless spirit of innovation, has led TRON from an emerging public chain to a global leader in the blockchain industry. The recent surpassing of USDT issuance on Ethereum is not only a victory for TRON but also another global recognition of the strength of Chinese blockchain.

As a pioneer with rich experience in the blockchain field, he often speaks at major blockchain summits and forums, sharing TRON's development philosophy and future vision. Justin Sun firmly believes that blockchain technology will profoundly change the global economic landscape. He is committed to transforming TRON into a cornerstone of the global financial infrastructure. Through continuous innovation and technological upgrades, TRON has made significant progress in performance, security, and scalability, providing global users with more convenient, efficient, and secure blockchain services.

It is worth mentioning that Justin Sun not only focuses on technological innovation but also actively promotes industry compliance and development. In September 2024, TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs jointly established the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), successfully freezing over $150 million in illicit assets, demonstrating their commitment to global financial security. In addition, at the 2025 Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum, Justin Sun proposed an innovative concept of issuing TRON addresses for AI, paving the way for the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence.

The Future of TRON: Cornerstone of Global Financial Infrastructure

TRON's reassertion of dominance is not only a victory in USDT issuance but also a comprehensive demonstration of its ecosystem's leadership. As of May 2025, TRON's total transaction volume has exceeded 10.3 billion transactions, with over 306 million accounts, making it one of the most active blockchain networks globally. Its ultra-low transaction fees contrast sharply with Ethereum's high Gas fees, attracting a large number of users to migrate from Ethereum to TRON.

Market analysts pointed out that the success of TRON, the leading force of Web3, stems from its precise understanding of user needs. Whether it is the payment needs of emerging markets or the rapid expansion of the DeFi ecosystem, TRON has provided efficient and low-cost solutions. As CryptoQuant researcher Maartunn put it, "The growing USDT issuance on the TRON blockchain reflects its absolute dominance in the stablecoin field and the high level of user trust."

Once again surpassing Ethereum in USDT issuance on the TRON blockchain, it is a perfect combination of technology, market, and vision, as well as another great achievement for Justin Sun as a prominent figure in the Chinese blockchain industry. Under Justin Sun's leadership, TRON has not only become the absolute ruler in the stablecoin field but also a pioneer in global blockchain innovation. In the future, TRON will continue, with an open and inclusive attitude, to work hand in hand with the global community to build a more secure, efficient, and decentralized financial infrastructure, paving the way for the arrival of the Web3 era.
