TRON's USDT stablecoin supply surpasses Ethereum, growing $5B in 90 days as cheaper transactions boost use.

TRON's stablecoin market cap grew by about $4.8 billion in 90 days, driven mainly by Tether's USDT, which now exceeds $94 billion on the network. This surpasses Ethereum's USDT supply by over $9 billion, largely due to TRON's lower transaction fees, making it popular for remittances and merchant settlements. TRON processes around $23 billion daily in stablecoin transactions, highlighting its role as a cost-effective dollar settlement layer. However, TRON's reliance on USDT poses risks if regulatory changes or shifts by Tether occur.

Tether's USDT remains a dominant stablecoin on Pluang, trading at Rp17.687 with a slight 0.32% decrease in the last day. TRON's TRX shows positive momentum, up 0.88% to Rp5.994, while Ethereum's ETH surged 7.39% to Rp46.717.817. These figures reflect active trading as of Sep 19, 2026 02:51 WIB.
