After the GENIUS Act: Tron Now Controls 51% of USDT Supply
CryptoQuant researcher Burak Keçmeçi reminded that on July 18, 2025, the U.S. Congress passed the GENIUS Act — the first federal regulation governing the circulation of payment stablecoins in the United States. The legislation establishes a legal framework for dollar-based digital assets, with a focus on consumer protection, financial stability, and anti-money laundering compliance.
According to Keçmeçi, the Tron network reacted instantly to the new regulation: the day after the law was passed, $1 billion in Tether (USDT) was minted. This increased Tron’s total USDT capitalization to $83 billion, allowing the network to secure over 51% of the total USDT supply, which currently stands at $163 billion.
Tron Becomes the Leading Platform for Stablecoin Settlements
These figures confirm Tron’s dominance as the primary platform for stablecoin transactions. Its high transaction speed and ultra-low fees make the network highly attractive for both users and issuers of digital dollars.
Keçmeçi emphasized that the GENIUS Act provides long-awaited regulatory clarity to the industry. With this clarity, institutional investors and fintech companies can now enter the stablecoin market with reduced regulatory risks, paving the way for accelerated dollar tokenization both within the U.S. and globally.
“The demand for digital USD continues to grow. Against this backdrop, we can expect further issuance of USDT and other stablecoins, especially on networks that offer stable performance and low costs,” Keçmeçi noted.
Tron Strengthens Its Role in Global Tokenized Finance
By reinforcing its market share, Tron not only gains increased trust from the crypto community, but also grows its transaction fee revenues — further solidifying its position as a key player in the global tokenized currency infrastructure.
