TRON (TRX) holds more than half of the circulating supply of USDT – Will the price soon exceed $0.50?

Although the price of TRON (TRX) has adjusted by 5.5% from its recent peak, a new report from Messari reveals a completely positive picture: the TRON network is operating stronger than ever.

With a total stablecoin value exceeding 81 billion USD and daily USDT trading volume reaching 21.3 billion USD, TRON is currently leading the entire blockchain space in money transfer activities. If this growth momentum continues, TRX could soon break through and surpass the $0.50 mark.

TRON is currently handling a larger volume of USDT than any other network

TRON is currently controlling more than half of the USDT circulating globally. Of the total 81.8 billion USD stablecoins stored on this network, up to 80.3 billion USD is USDT — accounting for 50.6% of the total Tether supply worldwide.

Not stopping there, TRON is also processing USDT transaction volumes worth 21.3 billion USD every day — an impressive figure that surpasses even PayPal.

In just the second quarter, the total supply of TRX decreased from 95 billion to 94.8 billion tokens. This means that the more USDT transactions occur, the larger the amount of TRX burned.

When supply decreases while the level of usage increases, it is a positive signal for the price of TRX. If the trend of payments in USDT continues to expand, the demand for TRX will certainly increase even more.

Increased wallets, increased transactions, TRX is used more.

TRON is proving itself not just as a network dedicated to stablecoins, but also as a dynamic blockchain ecosystem with a growing number of real users.

In the second quarter, this network processed an average of 8.6 million transactions per day, an increase of 12.6% compared to the previous quarter. The number of active wallets reached 2.5 million daily, reflecting the real user base — not bots or automated activities.

Overall, the total trading volume of DEX across the TRON ecosystem has surged by 25.2% in the last quarter, indicating that on-chain activity remains vibrant despite price volatility.

The DeFi ecosystem of TRON is also experiencing steady growth, with 16.5 billion TRX being locked (TVL). At the same time, staking activities are increasingly attracting more users, with 47.1% of the total TRX supply having been staked.

In particular, the Stake 2.0 system recorded a growth of 8.5% in the number of participants in staking and voting, indicating an increasing interest from the community in network governance.

All this positive data shows that TRX is increasingly being used, burned, or locked, contributing to the limitation of the circulating supply — an important factor in maintaining stability and supporting prices in the long term.

TRON is promoting real-world payments using USDT

TRON is no longer just a blockchain for cryptocurrency — it is transforming into an ambitious global payment network. In the last quarter, TRON partnered with AEON Pay, opening up the possibility of payments with USDT both online and at retail locations.

At the same time, this network is also collaborating with Bridge — a subsidiary of Stripe — to promote cross-border money transfer services. In the Latin American region, people can now easily make payments in USDT on the TRON platform through popular applications such as Oobit, Krypton, and El Dorado.

Not only startups, but also big names are joining this ecosystem. For example, SRM Entertainment has officially rebranded to "TRON Inc." and locked up an amount of TRX worth up to 100 million USD.

This is an important turning point. Each payment transaction incurs gas fees in TRX, meaning that the increased transaction volume will lead to more TRX being burned. The more payments there are, the more the supply of TRX is constrained. According to data from CryptoQuant, currently up to 70% of the total USDT transactions are conducted directly between wallets, not through exchanges — indicating that the actual demand for usage is rising sharply.

Can TRON price exceed $0.50? The technical factors are supporting

TRX is currently fluctuating around $0.313 — a fairly stable price level after the correction from the recent peak at $0.50. Despite the short-term decline, the long-term trend of TRX has yet to show signs of being broken.

According to data from IntoTheBlock, the activity of whales on the network remains vibrant. On July 18, the trading volume of this group peaked at 1.95 billion TRX, and to date, it has maintained a high level of around 1.53 billion TRX — indicating strong interest from large investors.

Technically, TRX is holding strong at the key support level of $0.30. If it successfully breaks through the resistance zone of $0.33–$0.34, the next potential price targets will be $0.42, $0.49, and the previous high at $0.50. According to the Fibonacci indicator, the expected peak currently lies around the level of $0.498.
