TRON moved $2.2 trillion in stablecoins while TRX supply grew for 108 straight days
TRON recorded $2.2126 trillion in stablecoin settlement during Q3 2026, up 5.1% from Q2, while its combined USDT and USDD supply on the network rose 5.5% to $93.88 billion. Yet TRX supply increased on all 108 days from July 1 through October 16, adding 148.6 million tokens net. In the first 16 days of October, burns offset about 63.5% of issuance, leaving an average daily surplus of 1.43 million TRX. TRON’s reusable, recoverable staking resources can support transaction activity without burning the staked tokens, while block producers and voters continue to receive newly minted TRX. October issuance and burns would have needed to change by 36.5% and 57.5%, respectively, to reach supply balance, with costs falling on resource users or reward recipients depending on the adjustment.
