Justin Sun and WLFI Drama: How Does the TRON Ecosystem Stay Strong?
As you all know, $WLFI Justin Sun was put on the blacklist. Notably, Sun is the largest external investor in WLFI: since late 2024, SUN has invested about 75 million USD through @trondao, holding 3 billion WLFI (worth 700–900 million USD at its peak).
TRON – Still the “King” of Stablecoin
TRON – layer-1 blockchain founded by Justin Sun in 2017 – continues to maintain strong growth. It even benefits indirectly from Sun's position.
Here is the updated situation as of September 2025 for anyone who wants to be well-informed:
- Active addresses: 2.48 million/day (top 1 in the industry), far ahead of Ethereum (0.79M) and Solana (0.35M). This jump comes from the community voting to reduce fees by 60% (effective 29/8/2025).
- USDT: TRON is processing 82 billion USDT (over 50% of total global USDT supply), surpassing Ethereum (73.8 billion). The transaction volume reaches 600 billion USD/month – almost gas-free.
- Network revenue: 56.7 million USD in fees/30 days, surpassing Ethereum (44.3M), coming from 2.67 billion transactions.
Q2/2025: settlement of 15 trillion USD, TVL reaches 26 billion (DeFi accounts for 9.3 billion).
TRON remains extremely strong: leading in stablecoins, high active user count, large revenue, and a solid roadmap. The WLFI drama mainly shines a spotlight on Justin Sun, which might cause short-term volatility for $TRX – but does not affect the fundamentals.
Whether you love or hate Sun, you have to admit: $TRX is doing very well. The current price of TRX is still 'sturdy', and the possibility of seeing TRX at $1 by the end of 2025 is entirely feasible.
