Tron just hit a huge milestone in crossing $1 billion in revenue. Against all odds, it has now cemented its place as the second most profitable network in the entire cryptocurrency sector. This surge in revenue is attributed to increased transaction volumes, particularly in Tether (USDT) transfers, and a robust staking ecosystem. The network’s number of active addresses and transaction count can serve as proxies for its burgeoning adoption and utility.
In fact, Tron has brought in over $2.6 billion of revenue over the last 365 days, making more than Ethereum did ($1.36 billion) in the same timeframe. Tron’s engineering flex—the ability to process a quarter of a million USDT transactions per minute—has driven much of its financial wins. The network charges a very small fee on each USDT transaction, which when added up accounts for more than half of its revenue stream.
Tron’s active addresses have picked up 1.1% over the past 30 days to now exceed 13.8 million. The number of deals on the network remains robust. Over the past 30 days, we matched a quarter of a billion transactions. In the past 24 hours, TRX transactions exceeded 6.8 million. This astounding movement has driven the overall transactions on the Tron network to more than 10.16 billion already! The growing transaction volume on the network has contributed to the increase in Tron fees.
At 4.63% staking yield, Tron’s staking market cap has increased to $9.85 billion dollars. In the last 30 days, Tron's staking inflows rose by 194 million TRX, equivalent to $48 million, indicating strong investor confidence in the network's staking rewards.
Tron moves more than $1 trillion a month in Tether tokens. On one recent Sunday, Tron alone handled $40 billion in Tether transactions. This system achievement demonstrated its capability to process large volumes of complex digital assets transfers.
