TRON Posts Strong Q1 Performance, Eyes Next Phase with Gas-Free USDT Transfers

TRON has started 2025 on a strong note, with its first-quarter report—recently released by Messari—sending yet another clear growth signal. This time, the blockchain known for its stablecoin mission but also getting increasingly known for its partnerships and developer relations signals impressive growth in cohort activity, ecosystem engagement, and financial performance. Of note, TRON’s first-quarter activity signals it as one of the most scalable and active blockchains—let alone Layer 1s—in the crypto space. The report for the first quarter of 2025 takes an intensive look at the expanding TRON ecosystem, the token USDT on TRON (TRC-20), which is rapidly growing to a position of dominance, and an upcoming landmark innovation: stablecoin transfers with no gas fees. @trondao achieved all-time highs in stablecoin issuance and revenue during Q1.

Tie-ups with names like Wintermute, Kiln, T3 FCU, and the blockchain analytics company Nansen highlight the increasing relevance of, and integration within, the crypto ecosystem, for both TRON and the partners it keeps. These collaborations are not just symbolic of a growing interest from institutions but also practical in terms of helping us foster the liquidity, security, and infrastructure development that we need in the ecosystem. Wintermute is a top-tier liquidity provider, and Nansen a top-tier analytics provider, and both are now in the ecosystem that is TRON. Apart from partnerships, TRON’s promise of innovation keeps on expanding. The report states that the blockchain will shortly introduce gas-free USDT transfers, a step that might greatly affect stablecoin usage and transfer. Should this be rolled out without a hitch, it could establish TRON as one of the platforms most convenient and cost-effective for users who want to do P2P transactions and/or integrate stablecoins into a merchant context. Stablecoin Leadership and Network Growth Metrics TRON’s stablecoin transaction dominance only deepened in Q1 2025. The network saw an average of 19 billion dollars in USDT transfers per day. This was a 3.3 percent increase from the previous quarter and marked a return to stable growth for TRON. Once again, TRON was the leading transfer hub in the crypto world for USDT. The network, founded by Justin Sun and now supported in large part by the Huobi cryptocurrency exchange, has the regulatory flexibility to serve as a transfer hub. It is not as likely to come under the same kinds of legal pressures that exist in the United States (for example) for platforms that transfer US dollars. Currently, 45.9% of the total circulating USDT supply resides on TRON. This means that TRON can’t just be dismissed as a decent network for decentralized apps. With a stablecoin market cap of 65.7 billion dollars, it’s literally one of the largest financial infrastructures in the world. According to the report, TRON’s share of the entire USDT market now stands at 99.3 percent. This 1 percent increase from last year means almost all stablecoin transfers on TRON are carried out using USDT. Of course, one might ask why it matters if USDT is used for transfers, and the next question would have to be about the nature of USDT itself. Strong Financial and On-Chain Performance The first quarter (Q1) was not only about partnerships and token volume; it was also about TRON setting new financial records. The network’s total revenue for Q1 hit an all-time high of $760.2 million, up 2.7 percent from the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022. Meanwhile, daily active addresses increased by 6.5 percent, indicating both user growth and a more engaged community. State of @trondao Q1 Key Update: TRON announces upcoming gas-free USDT transfers, potentially revolutionizing stablecoin transactions on the network.

Its circulating supply soared to 95 billion tokens mainly because of the migration to USDD 2.0. The migration released a substantial amount of TRX that was previously staked to back the now-demised USDD stablecoin. Said amount was then folded into the largely illusionary terms of the tokens coursing through the economy at any given moment. What’s more, this really doesn’t apply by any meaningful stretch to the overall supply of TRX. How is that possible? Because the amount of TRX that was kicked out in the migration was also counted on some other ledger somewhere in the block chain. The overall market has reacted advantageously to TRON’s development. Its market cap rose by 3.5 percent in the year’s first quarter to hit 22.7 billion dollars, showcasing an unmistakable surge in investor confidence and an appreciably growing usefulness and application across the network. Looking Ahead: DeFi Innovation Meets Practical Use TRON’s merger of financial strength, protocol refinements, and user-centered creativity has it on track for a mighty year. The transfer feature it will soon unveil, which allows users to send USDT without incurring gas fees, could be a massive deal, especially in emerging markets and with users who simply want cheap, instant transactions and who do not want to deal in and with instant transactions. As the global dialogue on compliance and the role of institutions increases, TRON seems to be moving from being a chain largely defined by its volume of transactions to serving as a foundational infrastructure layer for digital payments. Although strong fundamentals and bold innovations mean that TRON is not just competing in the fast-evolving world of stablecoins and the digital economy, it looks like TRON is seeking to shape the outcome.
