- Tether circulation on the TRON blockchain exceeds 1.9 billion.
- Sun provides an update on BTFS development.
Justin Sun celebrated through his Twitter account the adoption and success of TRON dapps on the Samsung Galaxy Store. After their inclusion at the end of April, TRON dApps seem to have a good acceptance. As published by Sun, the dApps were part of the Samsung Galaxy Store cover as featured applications.
In October 2019, Sun caused excitement by announcing a cooperation with Samsung. The cooperation is valued at 100 billion dollars and allows Samsung users to have direct access to the TRON blockchain through their devices. In that sense, users can download all TRON-based dapps in an exclusive section within the Galaxy Store.
The success of this cooperation, Sun said in the announcement, will boost user numbers and cause the TRON ecosystem to evolve. In addition, as one TRON user suggested, the platform could form new partnerships with other major industry players such as Chinese technology giant Huawei. Considering that Sun has ties to China, cooperation between these entities is at least a possibility.
Samsung has been recognized for incorporating crypto-based use cases into its products. In February of this year, it was revealed that the Galaxy S20 would have a built-in wallet that allows Samsung’s nearly one billion users to manage Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and TRON (TRX).

The supply of the stablecoin on TRON has increased by nearly 200 million USDT in less than a week, according to Sun. The TRON CEO said the following, celebrating the achievement of the stablecoin and TRON:
The circulation amount of TRC20– USDT issued by Tether_to on #TRON network exceeded 1.9 Billion.
