- TRON officially announces the first minting of stablecoin USD1, backed by U.S. treasuries and cash equivalents.
- Daily activity surged past 8 million transactions as USD1 brought renewed momentum to the TRON ecosystem.
TRON officially announced the first minting of the USD1 stablecoin on their network. The project was developed in collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI). USD1 is reportedly fully backed by real-world assets: from short-term US government bonds to US dollar deposits. This move is considered a big moment for TRON, which is now increasingly aggressive in forming its own digital financial ecosystem.
Interestingly, the day after the announcement, the TRON network recorded a spike in daily active addresses of up to 12%. This coincided with the integration of Privy, a Web3 onboarding provider, which also helped enliven the adoption of TRON dApps.

TRON Blockchain Sees Record Surge in Daily Activity
Furthermore, the minting of USD1 triggered a surge in activity on the TRON blockchain. The latest data shows that there are more than 8 million daily transactions taking place, and the total global user accounts have now reached 310 million.
For a project that was once considered insignificant, this is clearly not a small number. This increase was also driven by the announcement of the TRON DAO in early June, which proposed cutting the block reward from 16 TRX to 8 TRX, and the voting reward from 160 TRX to 128 TRX. The plan, which began voting on-chain on June 10, is seen as a way to tighten the TRX supply and strengthen the network’s economic model.
USD1 Gains Momentum With $2B Investment Plan on Binance
On the other hand, the CNF previously highlighted the integration of AEON Pay, a payment system that now allows offline transactions with TRON-based assets at over 20 million merchants in Southeast Asia.
While stablecoins are usually only active in the digital world, now users can pay for coffee, lunch, maybe even parking—just through a TRON-based wallet. This is a real example of how stablecoins are starting to touch everyday life.
Not only that, reportedly USD1 will also be used in large-scale investment transactions on Binance, with a value of up to $2 billion via MGX. Justin Sun and his team seem serious about taking TRON to the next level.
With WLFI’s reputation for fully supporting USD1 and the Trump family’s controversial track record, this project has become one of the most talked about this week. Although many are wary of the political side behind it, the market seems more focused on its long-term potential.
TRON is also starting to be looked at again by many developers and DeFi players. The adoption of new stablecoins such as USD1 is considered to be able to help reduce the dominance of traditional stablecoins such as USDT and USDC which have so far dominated this sector.
Meanwhile, as of the writing time, TRX is swapped hands at about $0.2723, down 0.65% over the last 24 hours and 1.52% over the last 7 days.
