The supply of USDT on Tron has now surpassed $80 billion, reflecting a clear and accelerating upward trend.
This sustained growth is not only notable in scale but also in pace. In 2025 alone, more than $22 billion USDT TRC20 has already been minted, despite the fact that we have only just crossed the halfway point of the year. This indicates a sharp rise in demand, especially when we consider that the entire minting volume in both 2023 and 2024 was around $16 billion per year.
Moreover, one particularly striking detail is the presence of three separate $2 billion mints this year, a pattern that was completely absent in 2024. These large-scale mints often signal significant institutional or infrastructural activity, and suggest a robust and growing confidence in the Tron network as a base layer for stablecoin operations.
Looking back historically, 2021 still holds the all-time record for USDT issuance on Tron, with over $46 billion minted throughout that year.
Now, with 2025 already well on its way to potentially surpassing even that milestone, it is clear that this momentum has not only been maintained but is gaining renewed strength.
Monitoring the evolution of stablecoin supply across any ecosystem provides valuable insights into the underlying health of a chain.
On Tron, the explosive growth of USDT issuance in 2025 underscores a deeper trend : Stablecoins continue to be a dominant force in crypto infrastructure, and Tron is positioning itself at the very center of that transformation.
