Since the beginning of the year, the TRON public chain has delivered impressive results. The number of new users has reached 73.39 million, a growth rate that has exceeded Ethereum's performance during the same period by more than 8%. From the data, it’s clear that its appeal to global users is indeed increasing.

Ethereum has long held a central position in the DeFi ecosystem, and there’s no denying that. But the recent growth of TRON is driven by a different logic—it is gradually moving beyond mere public chain competition and beginning to reshape the entire Web3 settlement system. This is not just talk; behind the addition of over 70 million users, real transfer demands are continuously driving this growth. You see, workers in Latin America need cross-border remittances, small merchants in Southeast Asia handle daily transactions, and ordinary people perform high-frequency payments. TRON’s processing capacity of over 2000+ TPS, settlement within 3 seconds, and a single transaction fee of less than $0.1 directly address the pain points of traditional payments and other public chains.

Today, TRON has surpassed the concept of a traditional public chain and is more like a "on-chain payment tool" in the hands of global users. Transferring funds is as easy as sending a WeChat message, and the cost is even cheaper than buying a cup of coffee. Once this usage habit is formed, user stickiness becomes very strong. Currently, the monthly transfer volume of stablecoins on TRON has exceeded $600 billion, accounting for 51% of the total USDT circulation worldwide, firmly holding the position of the world's largest settlement layer.

73.39 million new users are just the beginning. As a settlement network with a total transfer volume exceeding $23 trillion and services spanning 127 countries, TRON is trying to build a trillion-dollar on-chain economy through its ecosystem combination of "stablecoins + AI + RWA." Institutional capital is flowing in, the user base is expanding, and the door to the new Web3 settlement track has just opened.

Tron is indeed impressive this time, but among the 70 million new users, how many are actually using it? Most are just here for the airdrop... --- Wait, is the monthly transfer volume of stablecoins really 600 billion? This data seems so outrageous, it needs to be verified again. --- It sounds good, but even with lower fees, it can't compete with traditional payment networks. Don't overhype it. --- Alright, I admit defeat. Transfer costs really can't compare, no wonder so many people are starting to move. --- Are 127 countries really serious? It feels a bit fake. --- I just want to know how many of these 70 million are truly active. The data is too large and seems suspicious. --- On-chain payment tools are a decent positioning, but an economy worth trillions? That's a bit of an overhype, brother.

Tron’s recent growth does have some substance, but genuine user demand is the real key. --- 51% of USDT circulation is on Tron, this data is a bit outrageous, but it also indicates something. --- Cross-border remittance costs less than a cup of coffee; can ordinary users’ stickiness be weak? --- Redefining public chains from a payment perspective—this approach is much smarter than just stacking parameters. --- 70 million new users, but the key is retention; only if they can truly use it does it count. --- The number one stablecoin settlement layer—this position indeed has room for imagination. --- RWA+AI combo, if this trend continues, Tron’s story can be told for quite a while. --- Fees under $0.1, no wonder people in Southeast Asia and Latin America are starting to use it. --- Ethereum has been criticized for so long, and this time Tron’s dominance at the payment layer is a bit dramatic. --- Serving 127 countries, a trillion-dollar economy is not just empty talk, but execution is the key.

Wow, Tron really proved itself with these numbers—over 70 million new users? Ethereum must be getting restless. Really, with 51% of stablecoin circulation on Tron, that's the real game-changer. No one expected the payment track to be played like this. But to be fair, having many users doesn't necessarily mean a strong ecosystem; it also depends on how many can be retained later on.

Tron’s recent growth is indeed a bit different, not just hype, but driven by actual demand. Wow, a monthly transfer volume of 600 billion, accounting for 51% of the global USDT, this data is a bit shocking. The payment sector is indeed the least pseudo-demand, as long as it can be used, and low cost makes it even better. But back to the point, among the over 70 million new users, how many are truly active? That’s the key. The transfer volume of stablecoins is skyrocketing, but what about ecosystem development? The ecosystem is the real moat. It feels like Tron is really trying to evolve from a trading layer to a settlement layer, the logic makes sense. RWA combined with AI sounds great, but will implementation be another story? Transfer fees under $0.1 are indeed impressive, no wonder cross-border workers find it so appealing. Regarding the influx of institutional capital, I find it a bit doubtful—whose institutions are really pouring money in? The 73.39 million is just the beginning, but can this growth be sustained? That’s what I care about.
