Nansen’s data further indicates a 69% jump in Tron’s daily active addresses within the past week, reaching nearly 11.1 million — the largest weekly increase among major blockchains. The spike highlights Tron’s growing popularity among retail users, especially in Africa, Asia, and South America, where it has become a preferred network for stablecoin transfers.
While Tron’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem may not rival Ethereum’s, its speed, affordability, and reliability have positioned it as a go-to network for Tether (USDT) transactions. The chain facilitates 15–20 million USDT transfers each week, making the combination of USDT on Tron one of the most used payment setups globally.

Tether recently reached its 500 millionth user milestone on October 21, with CEO Paolo Ardoino <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2025/10/tether-reaches-500-million-users-marking-major-leap-for-global-financial-inclusion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">calling</a> it “likely the biggest financial inclusion achievement in history.” The World Bank Group estimates around 1.4 billion adults remain unbanked, and crypto-based stablecoins like USDT offer an accessible alternative for cross-border transactions and secure savings via smartphones.
According to CoinGecko, USDT holds a 58.8% market share with a market capitalization of $183.2 billion, far ahead of Circle’s USDC at $76.2 billion. DefiLlama <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defillama.com/stablecoins/ethereum" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> shows that Ethereum hosts the most USDT in circulation at $83.4 billion, followed by Tron at $78.7 billion — underscoring the latter’s growing relevance in the global stablecoin economy.
