Crypto Long & Short: Inside the chain settling $150 billion of stablecoins a week
Summary
Tron has evolved into a major stablecoin payment network, especially for USDT, with weekly transaction counts nearing 100 million, transfer volume around $150–190 billion and average fees near seven cents. Its delegated proof-of-stake design supports fast, low-cost settlement, while TRX is used for network resources, staking and governance. The investment case rests on continued stablecoin adoption and network activity, but depends on regulation, fees, protocol development and market conditions. U.S. stablecoin rules may help or constrain activity. The text also includes unrelated market commentary on crypto policy and a cooling in Robinhood-chain DEX volume relative to Solana.
