In a bold move poised to reshape the stablecoin landscape, $TRON has officially launched the USD1 stablecoin — a new digital asset backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, dollar deposits, and other secure currency equivalents. The announcement, made by TRON founder Justin Sun in a June 11 X post, was described as a “giant leap for stablecoins.”
🔹 USD1: The Future of Stability on Blockchain
Unveiled during the Token2049 conference in Dubai by WLFI, USD1 is already live on TRON, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain. However, the minting on TRON carries symbolic and strategic weight, deepening its role in the network’s financial ecosystem. Backed by real-world assets, USD1 is expected to enhance institutional trust and usage — a sentiment echoed by TRON DAO.
Interestingly, WLFI — the firm behind USD1 — was co-founded by none other than Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. The stablecoin also plays a role in the $2 billion investment framework involving MGX and Binance, underlining its centrality in upcoming crypto-financial projects.
🔹 Governance Revolution: TRON’s Proposal No. 102 Passed
Alongside USD1’s debut, TRON has executed one of its most significant governance reforms to date. Proposal No. 102 — narrowly passed with 25 out of 27 votes — aims to intensify
$TRX deflation and enhance long-term token value.
Key changes include:
⚡ Block Rewards Slashed by 50%: Reduced from 16 TRX to 8
$TRX 📉 Voting Rewards Cut: Down from 160 TRX to 128 TRX
🔥 Increased TRX Deflation: Annual rate rising from 0.85% to 1.29%
These shifts are designed to reduce token issuance and stimulate demand, potentially pushing up the value of
$TRX , which currently trades around $0.27 and has shown bullish signs since March.
🔹 Justin Sun’s Vision for DeFi Supremacy
Justin Sun praised these dual developments — the USD1 rollout and governance reform — as milestones for blockchain transparency and decentralized finance. He emphasized that the partnership with WLFI marks a turning point in the alignment between stable assets and decentralized systems.
🔹 TRON’s Explosive Growth Metrics
TRON’s rapid expansion is evident in its performance metrics:
Over 10 billion transactions processed
More than 312 million accounts created by May 2025
Dominant host of USDT transactions globally
With USD1 reinforcing its stablecoin dominance and governance reforms increasing deflationary pressure, TRON is clearly positioning itself to lead the next era of decentralized infrastructure and financial innovation.
