According to data from the blockchain explorer TRONSCAN, in May 2025, the issuance of TRC20-USDT on the TRON network officially surpassed 77.7 billion, accounting for 51% of the total issuance of USDT across the network, setting a new historical high. This achievement marks TRON's unshakeable dominant position in the global stablecoin network and further validates its technological stability, low-cost advantages, and broad market acceptance.
Since the beginning of 2025, TRC20-USDT has cumulatively issued nearly 18 billion tokens, demonstrating strong market demand. This growth is not only reflected in the numbers but also mirrors the trend of users 'voting with their feet.' High efficiency, low fees, and excellent user experience have made TRC20-USDT one of the most popular stablecoins currently.
Technology and user-driven dual engines solidifying the preferred status of stablecoins
Since its launch, TRC20-USDT has quickly gained market favor due to the performance advantages of the TRON underlying network. As of May 22, the number of accounts holding TRC20-USDT exceeded 66.27 million, with a total of 2.52 billion transfer transactions. These figures not only reflect its on-chain circulation activity but also highlight its practicality in real economic activities.
As a model of the integration of stablecoins and the real economy, TRC20-USDT has been widely used in various scenarios such as communication transfers, cross-border payments, travel settlements, and financial trusts, and has been adopted by mainstream platforms and service providers worldwide. Especially in developing countries and regions with inadequate financial infrastructure, TRC20-USDT provides users with a low-threshold, high-efficiency way of value transfer.
Justin Sun promotes global adoption, building a new order of financial freedom
Behind this milestone achievement of TRON is the continuous effort of founder Justin Sun to promote the globalization strategy of stablecoins. At the TOKEN2049 Dubai summit in 2025, he explicitly stated: TRON will strive to exceed a total market capitalization of 100 billion dollars for stablecoins, with the goal of creating a globally leading 'financial free port' and 'decentralized SWIFT.'
It is worth noting that in its early years, TRON was officially designated as a national-level blockchain infrastructure by Dominica, and seven TRON-based tokens, including TRC20-USDT, enjoy the same legal status as fiat currency in the country. This official endorsement not only recognizes TRON's compliance capabilities but also lays a solid foundation for its penetration into international payment networks.
Future Outlook: Connecting global finance with stablecoins as a bridge
In the future, under the leadership of Justin Sun, TRON will continue to leverage its technological advantages of safety, efficiency, and low cost to promote the application of TRC20-USDT in a broader range of countries and industries. From global remittances to digital consumption, from sovereign blockchain cooperation to integration with traditional finance, TRON is using stablecoins as a lever to create a more inclusive, fair, and open new global financial landscape.
