TRON Breaks Records: Gasless Transactions, DeFi Growth, and TRX Demand Skyrocket

The first half of 2025 has seen the TRON momentum at new heights. Through robust USDT denomination and increased user activity, the network is accordingly experiencing a massive growth, and firmly cementing the network as one of the most active blockchain ecosystems globally.

Transaction Activity Hits Multi-Year Highs

In May 2025, TRON had 273 million transactions, its second-highest monthly figure of all time. In June, 28.7 million active addresses on the network, which turned out to be the highest level since the middle of 2023.

To this, engagement is increasing, as the average number of transactions per active address averaged 10.5 in March and May, the highest in the past two years.

Tron and Economic Activity Reach New Peaks

TRON native token, TRX , has remained dominant in on-chain transaction. More than 20.5 billion TRX worth $5.4 billion, were exchanged in June alone, an increase of 61 percent compared to the same time last year.

Such an increase in the activity of the economy demonstrates its increasing popularity in native tokens as a medium of exchange for value.

The network revenue is also skyrocketing. In June, the network gained a record amount of fees, $308 million. Although this is a record amount of fees paid, the average transaction fee is minimal at only $1.18, indicating that TRON can drive revenue growth without increasing payment costs to the users.

Gasless Transactions Drive Accessibility and Growth

The prevalence of gasless transactions is one of the most influential trends in 2025. Zero-gas transactions hit roughly 7 million each day in June, compared to only 2.2 million in February 2024. In the meantime, fee-paying transactions have stood at 2 million daily.

This zero-gas model increases access and app usage, particularly by people in areas where the high cost of transactions constrains access to blockchain networks.

USDT Dominance and DeFi Expansion Cement TRON’s Role

Stablecoins are a key to the TRON development, and the USDT is at the forefront of it. TRON transferred 384 million USDT in the first half of 2025 and formed 98 percent of the top 10 tokens transferred on the platform. This solidifies the network as one of the hubs of movement for stablecoin.

TRON has also surpassed Ethereum in aggregate USDT supply, with 80.8 billion held in opposition to 73.8 billion in Ethereum. According to the network, growing by 21 billion in TRON-based USDT since January, TRON is the main platform to send, receive and use coins.

On June 26, TRON alone achieved a daily USDT transfer record of 24.6 billion dollars, up 67 percent YoY. The network can currently handle up to 2.7 times USDT compared to Ethereum at standing as the leading stablecoin network.

DeFi on TRON Continues to Grow Beyond WTRX

DeFi is also growing on TRON. In 2025, WTRX monthly volume consistently surpassed the three-million-dollar mark on SunSwap, with June seeing 8.6 billion WTRX swapped. This figure was lower than the 15.5 billion recorded in May, but it indicates a persistent appetite for DeFi services.

Although in the past, WTRX has monopolized SunSwap, comprising 98 percent of swaps in August 2024, the figure has dropped to 70 percent as other tokens pick up the pace.

The monthly transactions average is now 516,000 per month, compared to 316,000 in 2024 (excluding meme coin boom). This trend features DeFi diversification on the network, and a larger reach by various assets and protocols.
