Key Takeaways
- Tron’s account count topped 400 million recently, up from 300 million in April 2025.
- Tron now settles 51.4% of all circulating USDT, a $94.2 billion float, per Tronscan data.
- Justin Sun says Tron is ‘still building sTRONger’ as Tron Inc.’s treasury holds 711.5 million TRX.
A Six-Year Climb to 400 Million
As a quick refresher, Tron’s genesis block launched in June 2018, and it took the network four years to reach its first 100 million accounts. Since then, these numbers have accelerated rapidly, with Tron crossing 200 million accounts by Q4 2023 and then 300 million by Q2 2025.
Most recently, the network added another 100 million to reach 400 million total accounts on August 23, marking a major milestone for the project.
Moreover, since going live, the network has processed more than 15.2 billion transactions, with cumulative transfer volume nearing $30 trillion, a scale that puts Tron among the busiest settlement layers in crypto regardless of how its token price performs.
In all of this, the growth seems to be driven almost entirely by stablecoin activity rather than speculative trading, given Tron now handles 51.4% of all circulating USDT, a float that reached $94.2 billion this week, up roughly $3 billion in a single day. Additionally, the network averaged 4.64 million daily active accounts over the past 30 days, with peak August sessions exceeding 5 million, while adding roughly 170,000 new addresses per day.
This ongoing surge has been tracked by Bitcoin.com News for months, with reports showing how Tron already captures 52% of low-value USDT transfers globally, indicative of how it is the preferred rail for retail-sized payments and cross-border remittances rather than institutional trading.
Lastly, the 400 million milestone outpaces larger, older networks on a pure account-count basis, though daily active-address data from rivals like Ethereum, where more than 500,000 addresses transact daily versus roughly 350,000 for Bitcoin, shows the picture is more nuanced once activity, not just cumulative account totals, is the yardstick.
The Future For Tron
Earlier today, Tron Inc., the network’s corporate treasury arm, added another 145,199 TRX at an average price of $0.3444, lifting its total holdings to 711.5 million TRX, worth roughly $245 million.
TRX itself is trading near $0.344 at press time, giving the token a market capitalization of about $32.6 billion. Founder Justin Sun marked the milestone by posting on X that the network is “still building sTRONger.”
With Ethereum still holding the lead in daily active addresses and decentralized finance activity, it will be interesting to see if Tron’s payments-first growth can translate into a bigger share of onchain finance more broadly, not just token transfers between wallets.
