Recently, according to the latest data from Tethers official website, the issuance of USDT on the TRON network exceeded 75.7 billion US dollars, officially surpassing the total issuance of Ethereum, accounting for more than half of the total market value of USDT, and once again becoming the worlds largest USDT issuance public chain after a lapse of half a year. This historic node marks the further consolidation of TRONs absolute dominance in the field of stablecoins, and also adds a key footnote to the blockchain empire of its founder, Justin Sun.

This is also another milestone in the development of 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).
Justin Sun, founder of TRON, said, “Currently, 50.2% of the total USDT supply is on the TRON network. Although 0.2% (above 50%) may seem like a small number, we can now say that more than half of all USDT is on the TRON network. Keep going, the goal of 100 billion is not a dream, it’s a preview!”
TRON reaches the top again: achievements highlight market choice
Since mid-2023, TRON’s USDT issuance has continued to grow, expanding rapidly at a rate of more than $1 billion per month. In the first half of 2025 alone, the TRON network minted more than $16 billion worth of new USDT.
On May 15, 2025, the total USDT circulation on the TRON chain officially surpassed Ethereum, regaining the throne of the worlds largest USDT issuance network. Although Ethereum briefly took the lead in the past six months, the market finally showed its favor for TRON with practical actions. With low transaction fees, fast settlement speed and stable network performance, TRON has become the preferred stablecoin settlement platform for users and institutions around the world.
This momentum was further strengthened in early May when the Trump family cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial announced the integration of its USD 1 stablecoin into the TRON network. This move not only expanded the stablecoin ecosystem of the TRON network, but also brought it more liquidity and user base.
Data shows that TRON is the leader in the field of payment and settlement. Its average daily transfer volume is as high as 8 million, and the average daily transaction amount exceeds 25 billion US dollars, far exceeding other public chains. In addition, TRONs decentralized exchange transaction volume increased by 40% in April 2025, soaring from 3.4 billion US dollars to 4.9 billion US dollars, showing the strong momentum of its ecosystem. These data not only highlight TRONs dominance in the field of stablecoins, but also highlight its core position in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain infrastructure construction.
Justin Sun and TRON: Once again demonstrating the strength of Chinese blockchain
As the founder of TRON, Justin Sun has led TRON from a new public chain to a leader in the global blockchain industry with his keen market insight and unremitting spirit of innovation. The USDT issuance volume surpassed Ethereum this time, which is not only a victory for TRON, but also another global vindication of the Chinese blockchain power.
As a pioneer with extensive experience in the blockchain field, he often speaks at major blockchain summits and forums to share TRONs development philosophy and future vision. Sun Yuchen firmly believes that blockchain technology will profoundly change the global economic landscape, and he is committed to making TRON the cornerstone of global financial infrastructure. Through continuous innovation and technological upgrades, TRON has made significant progress in performance, security and scalability, providing more convenient, efficient and secure blockchain services to global users.
It is worth mentioning that Sun Yuchen 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 T 3 Financial Crimes Unit (T 3 FCU), which successfully froze more than $150 million in criminal assets, demonstrating its commitment to global financial security. In addition, Sun Yuchen proposed the innovative idea of issuing TRON addresses for AI at the 2025 Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum, opening up a new path for the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
The future of TRON: the cornerstone of global financial infrastructure
TRONs re-entry to the top is not only a victory for USDT issuance, but also a reflection of its overall leading ecosystem. As of May 2025, TRONs total transaction volume has exceeded 10.3 billion, and the number of accounts has exceeded 306 million, making it one of the most active blockchain networks in the world. Its ultra-low transaction fees are in sharp contrast to Ethereums high gas fees, attracting a large number of users to switch from Ethereum to TRON.
Market analysts point out that TRONs success stems from its accurate grasp of user needs. Whether it is the payment needs of emerging markets or the rapid expansion of the DeFi ecosystem, TRON provides efficient and low-cost solutions. As CryptoQuant researcher Maartunn said: The growth of TRONs USDT issuance reflects its absolute advantage in the stablecoin field and the high trust of users.
The issuance of USDT on the TRON chain has surpassed that of Ethereum again, which is a perfect combination of technology, market and vision, and another great achievement of Justin Sun as a leader in the Chinese blockchain industry. Under the leadership of Justin Sun, TRON has not only become the absolute leader in the stablecoin field, but also a pioneer in global blockchain innovation. In the future, TRON will continue to work with the global community in an open and inclusive manner to build a more secure, efficient and decentralized financial infrastructure, paving the way for the arrival of the Web3 era.
