Tron Network Becomes the Absolute Leader in USDT Stablecoin Issuance
Over the past 120 days, Tron has become the primary channel for issuing USDT stablecoins for Tether’s treasury. According to data, $15 billion worth of new tokens were minted on the blockchain in just four months, significantly surpassing Ethereum’s figures. For comparison, during the same period Ethereum saw $9 billion issued and $5 billion burned in USDT, while Tron had virtually no asset burn operations.
This dominance points to a steady trend: Tron is evolving into the main infrastructure for Tether operations. All issuance during this period was directed exclusively to the company’s treasury, highlighting the strategic role of TRC-20 in liquidity management.
One of the main reasons for Tether’s “attachment” to Tron remains the network’s minimal fees. Compared to Ethereum, where transaction costs spike sharply during periods of congestion, Tron offers stable and extremely low costs — which is especially important when issuing billions of dollars in stablecoins.
In addition, Tron ensures high transaction speeds. The average confirmation time is just seconds, which is critical for rapidly delivering liquidity to markets during times of heightened demand or volatility. This makes the network more flexible in a changing market environment.
The architecture of Tron also plays a key role, as it is designed to handle large-scale loads without performance loss. At the same time, the platform demonstrates a high level of stability and security, which is particularly important for USDT operations.
Current data confirms that Tron has not just temporarily outpaced Ethereum — it has solidified its position as the main platform for Tether’s strategic actions. If the trend continues, Tron could fully monopolize the stablecoin sector in the coming quarters.
