The emergence of TRON as a prominent player in crypto payments is a result of the widespread adoption of blockchain technology over the past decade. Stablecoins have proven to be a practical solution for cross-border payments, despite facing scrutiny from various sources. Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer with a market capitalization of $93 billion, has over 50% of its issuance on the TRON blockchain, making TRON the primary network for USDT circulation.
In recent years, TRON has strengthened its market presence and surpassed the BNB Chain in stablecoin transaction volume in 2021. By the end of 2023, TRON represented one-third of the global stablecoin volume and recorded transactions worth $1.2 trillion in the fourth quarter of that year.
TRON has also made significant strides in real-world asset tokenization, hosting the second-largest RWA protocol, stUSDT, on its platform. stUSDT offers annual yields exceeding 4.51% and allows users to allocate USDT to designated smart contracts that invest the funds in various real-world assets, such as government bonds. With over $2.24 billion in assets under management, stUSDT has quickly climbed the DeFi protocol rankings and is closely behind MakerDAO, which has a total value locked (TVL) of $2.38 billion.
