TRON DAO Official Chinese Announcement: The circulating supply of USDT on the Tron network has surpassed 83.4 billion tokens, firmly securing its position as the world's largest USDT circulation chain (accounting for approximately 42%). Since 2026, Tether has issued over 2 billion additional USDT on Tron (including recent issuances of 100 million and 200 million), with total transaction volume throughout 2025 reaching a staggering $7.9 trillion.

The explosive growth of USDT on Tron is primarily driven by near-zero transaction fees and confirmation times of just 3 seconds—significantly faster than Ethereum—making it the preferred choice for micro and high-frequency payments. Over 50% of transactions are small-value transfers, reflecting genuine demand. Tether’s strategic issuance expansion has increased USDT supply by 2.27 billion in 2025, pushing total supply beyond 82.4 billion (42% share). Combined with a vast user ecosystem, this creates a powerful positive feedback loop, solidifying Tron’s dominance as the global infrastructure leader in stablecoins.
