Tron Network Activity Expands Beyond USDT Transfers

• Tron shifts beyond cheap USDT transfers as users adopt DeFi protocols like JustLend and SunSwap, diversifying on-chain activities significantly.
• USDT held off centralized exchanges surged from $26B to $70B since 2023, with P2P transfers tripling to $15B daily.

The Tron blockchain, historically recognized for low-cost USDT transfers, now shows broader usage patterns. Data indicates users increasingly engage with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and peer-to-peer payments beyond simple stablecoin movements.

CryptoQuant reports a substantial shift in USDT distribution. In 2023, approximately 46% of Tron-based USDT resided on centralized exchanges. That figure has now fallen to 13%. This change represents over $70 billion in USDT moving off exchange platforms.

Meanwhile, peer-to-peer USDT transfers on Tron have grown from $5 billion daily in 2023 to $15 billion currently. Trading on decentralized exchanges and on-chain payments contribute to this increase. Centralized exchanges still process about $10 billion daily, accounting for 40% of Tron’s USDT value flow.

Tron’s decentralized stablecoin, USDD, shows a similar pattern. Its total supply reached $520 million recently. Only 3% ($13 million) remains on centralized exchanges. Approximately half of all USDD is held within JustLend, Tron’s decentralized loan application.

This suggests users prioritize DeFi protocols, cross-border remittances, and peer-to-peer payments over centralized exchange holdings. Activity extends beyond stablecoin transfers into diversified blockchain interactions.

Furthermore, SunSwap, Tron’s primary decentralized exchange, demonstrates growing adoption. It processed monthly trading volumes exceeding $3 billion throughout 2025. May volumes reached $3.8 billion. This consistent activity reflects user exploration of Tron’s broader capabilities.

The network continues supporting stablecoin transfer volume

However, measurable growth now occurs within lending platforms, decentralized exchanges, and direct payment channels. Tron’s utility extends further into decentralized financial services alongside its established transfer function.

TRON (TRX) is trading at $0.3148, marking a marginal +0.12% gain in the past 24 hours. The market capitalization stands at $29.82 billion, placing TRON at #9 among global cryptocurrencies by market value.

The 24-hour trading volume is approximately $1.49 billion, which reflects a 14.21% increase, suggesting renewed short-term interest from traders.

TRX remains in a tight consolidation channel, oscillating between $0.31 and $0.325 for the past seven trading sessions. The price is holding above the 50-day exponential moving average, which currently sits near $0.306, acting as dynamic support.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 51, showing modest upward momentum but not yet in overbought territory.

The MACD histogram is flat, indicating a lack of directional momentum, while volume profile data suggests buying support in the $0.30–$0.31 zone. If TRX breaks above the $0.325 resistance, the next upside targets could lie around $0.34–$0.35. A break below $0.305 could trigger a drop toward $0.29 support.
