TRON transaction volume crosses $30T – Can USDT sustain TRX’s growth?

TRON’s [TRX] growing use as a settlement network is driving a sharp rise in the value moving across its infrastructure.

TRON has surpassed $30 trillion in total transaction volume, illustrating its transition from a blockchain to a higher throughput settlement network. Daily transaction volume on the network exceeded $30 billion, highlighting the scale of its activity.

Notably, TRON’s broad user base sustains activity through recurring usage rather than one‑off surges. This is evident in the over 15.6 billion transactions processed on its network, which have been made on behalf of more than 405 million individual account holders.

The recurring nature of these settlement demands continues to sustain elevated levels of transactional volume. This in turn continues expanding the network’s overall economic footprint.

As more users rely on TRON for payments and transfers, sustained activity could strengthen its role in stablecoin settlement and increase demand for its infrastructure.

Stablecoins drive TRON activity

The role as a settlement network is growing due to the flow of stablecoin liquidity that uses TRON. The stablecoin supply has risen to approximately $94.3 billion, with Tether [USDT] accounting for approximately 98% of that total.

The concentration around USDT results in most of the on-chain activity being centered on the altcoin. Meanwhile, TRON generated approximately $226.5 million in protocol revenue from its network of users over a 30-day period.

As the amount of stablecoin liquidity increases, TRON is continuing to expand its reach from settling transactions into daily merchant settlements.

Can TRON sustain its revenue engine?

TRON’s increasing number of transactions has begun to generate a large amount of money through its own revenue model. However, this revenue model will need to be maintained by continuing to have an increase in the number of transactions.

Meanwhile, users are also capable of using their TRX as collateral for energy and bandwidth. This creates lower fees paid directly by users for most transactions. Therefore, increases in revenue should be based on increases in the number of transactions rather than each individual transaction.

This model could face challenges if stablecoin usage growth slows. In other words, it may decrease TRON’s ability to grow.

Increased value transactions or additional applications that provide increased fee structures are required for sustaining growth of TRON’s revenue. Consequently, TRON’s revenue could continue to mirror the pace of the stablecoin transfer process.
