Tron Booms With Fresh $1B in USDT, Yet Lending TVL Nosedives, What’s Next?
Tron (TRX) has seen a price increase of approximately 3.9%, reaching $0.294, although it remains 31.8% below its all-time high of $0.43 from December 2024. This rise coincides with significant stablecoin activity, particularly a recent minting of 1 billion USDT tokens on the Tron blockchain, indicating increased liquidity and market demand. The minting event, noted by analyst Amr Taha, is the largest for USDT on Tron this month and may suggest heightened institutional activity or preparations for large OTC trades. Despite TRX's price increase, the total value locked (TVL) in lending protocols on Tron has decreased by nearly $2 billion, highlighting a divergence that raises questions about investor strategies and potential structural changes within the network's financial ecosystem. Historically, lower TVL has correlated with rising TRX prices, but the current trend may indicate shifts in engagement with lending platforms.
