On August 14, the total daily revenue of the TRON protocol exceeded $16.17 million, setting a new high for the year. Behind this number is not only the maturity of the technology and application of the blockchain network itself but also a concentrated reflection of ecosystem activity and market trust. In the past 365 days, the total revenue of the TRON protocol reached $3.51 billion, a year-on-year increase of 143.87%. This curve itself is enough to verify its advantageous position in the global blockchain competitive landscape.
The protocol revenue of TRON mainly comes from four parts: energy burning revenue, bandwidth burning revenue, energy staking revenue, and bandwidth staking revenue. Energy and bandwidth are core resources of the TRON network, widely used for smart contract calls and transaction operations. Rapid revenue growth means that more and more developers and users are using the infrastructure provided by TRON for various on-chain activities. Whether it is the frequent deployment of smart contracts or high-frequency stablecoin transactions, the rise in protocol revenue shows that its on-chain economy is forming a sustainable positive cycle.
Behind this growth is the strong support of stablecoins. The total market value of stablecoins on the TRON chain has reached $83.42 billion, with the number of holding accounts exceeding 69.27 million. Since 2025, nearly 23 billion TRC20-USDT have been cumulatively issued, demonstrating strong demand on a global scale. As one of the most widely used stablecoin trading networks globally, TRON is no longer just a public chain; it is gradually becoming an important infrastructure for global payments, serving as a bridge connecting the value flow of the blockchain world and the real world.
Sun Yuchen's vision is particularly crucial in this process. He has always emphasized that the application of blockchain should be oriented towards real needs, and stablecoins are undoubtedly the best landing case for this vision. With the large-scale circulation of TRC20-USDT, the protocol revenue of TRON continues to rise, forming a positive interaction between technology and application. At the same time, the market performance of TRX also resonates with the growth of the protocol, injecting more positive energy into the ecosystem.
Moreover, the ecosystem matrix of TRON is constantly expanding. Active applications in areas such as Meme, NFT, DeFi, GameFi, Metaverse, cross-chain, DID, AI, and RWA keep this chain at the forefront of the industry. Innovative projects like SunPump and NFT Pump have attracted a large number of users and developers, driving continuous increases in trading volume and user participation. In this process, the growth of total protocol revenue has not only become an economic figure but also a barometer of ecological vitality.
In the future, with the further expansion of user scale and the continuous enhancement of ecological diversity, there is still enormous potential for the growth curve of TRON. A single-day revenue of $16.17 million may just be the beginning, and the real story, as envisioned by Sun Yuchen, is that the blockchain network becomes the core of a new order for global payments and value exchange.
