TRON USDT supply hits $87.9B as transfers reach $2.1T in Q2: Messari

Latest NewsPublishedAug 10, 2026

Stablecoin Supply Hits Record High on TRON Network

The TRON network has seen a significant surge in stablecoin supply and network activity in the second quarter, with USDT supply reaching $87.9 billion and transfers totaling $2.1 trillion. This growth has surpassed that of Ethereum, with USDT accounting for 98.5% of TRON’s stablecoin market. Average daily USDT transfer volume has also increased by 4.3% to $22.8 billion.

This increase in activity has led to a record number of daily transactions, with 11.8 million transactions taking place on the network, an 8.7% increase. Average daily active addresses have also risen by 11.7% to 3.6 million. However, despite this growth, DeFi and decentralized exchange activity has declined, with DeFi TVL slipping 1.9% to $4.4 billion.

Network Fees and Institutional Access

Network fees have risen by 15.9% to $699.4 million, reversing a two-quarter decline. Institutional access to TRON has also widened, with the launch of a tokenized fund on the network and the addition of TRX to Grayscale’s list of assets under consideration. This increased access has led to broader market access for TRX, with spot trading launched in the United States and expiry perpetuals introduced in Europe.

Higher activity also helped reverse a two-quarter decline in network fees. Fees rose 15.9% to $699.4 million, their first quarterly increase since an August 2025 governance change cut the network’s energy unit price. 

Growth was uneven elsewhere. DeFi TVL slipped 1.9% to $4.4 billion, while average daily DEX volume fell 21.7% to $49.3 million, marking a fourth consecutive quarterly decline. TRX supply also remained inflationary despite higher activity, with circulating supply increasing by 87 million tokens during the quarter as issuance continued to outpace burns.

TRON expands institutional access

Institutional access to TRON widened during the quarter, with Securitize launching Hamilton Lane’s tokenized Senior Credit Opportunities Fund on the network, its first TRON-issued asset. The fund launched with about $4.3 million under management. 

Asset manager Grayscale also added TRX (TRX), the native token of the TRON blockchain, to its list of assets under consideration, while a proposed staked TRX exchange-traded product from Canary Capital remained in registration.

Meanwhile, TRX saw broader market access during the quarter. Bitnomial launched spot TRX trading in the United States, while OKX Europe introduced MiFID-regulated TRX expiry perpetuals and Binance.US restored trading in the token.

That trend continued after the quarter ended, with Anchorage Digital adding native TRX staking and custody for TRC-20 assets in July, allowing institutional clients to stake TRX directly from its custody platform.
