TRONhas reached 400 million total accounts, marking another expansionmilestone for the blockchain as its activity increasingly centers on stablecointransfers and payments.

The network added its latest 100 million accounts between April 12, 2025, and August 23, 2026. That pace is significantly faster than its earlier growth. TRON took about four years to reach its first 100 million accounts and crossed 200 million on December 7, 2023.

The figures come from TRON DAO, which also reported more than 15.2 billion transactions processed since the network launched its genesis block on June 25, 2018. Total transfer volume has reached roughly $30 trillion, underscoring the scale of activity accumulated across the chain.

TRON Reaches 400M Accounts As USDT Activity Expands

Stablecoins remain central to TRON’s usage. The network now settles 51.4% of all circulating USDT, according to TRON-related blockchain data, with the token’s supply on TRON reaching about $94.2 billion this week. The figure increased by roughly $3 billion in a single day.

TRON also represents about 52% of global low-value USDT transfers, a category commonly associated with retail payments and cross-border remittances. Over the past 30 days, the network averaged 4.64 million active accounts, while some August days exceeded 5 million.

This activity gives TRON a different profile from networks where decentralized finance and smart-contract applications account for a larger share of demand.

TRON surpassed 400 million total accounts on August 23, 2026, adding its latest 100 million in roughly 16 months.

Ethereum Still Leads DeFi As TRON Gains Institutional Attention

Ethereum continues to lead in daily activity and DeFi, with roughly 500,000 daily transacting addresses compared with about 350,000 on Bitcoin. However, TRON’s account growth and stablecoin settlement volumes highlight its importance in another part of the digital-asset economy.

TRON DAO has also pointed to growing institutional involvement through its inclusion in the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index and partnerships involving Anchorage Digital, Securitize and Bitnomial.

Meanwhile, Tron Inc. purchased another 145,199 TRX at an average price of $0.3444, bringing its holdings to about 711.5 million TRX, valued near $245 million.

TRX traded around $0.3357, down 1.1% on the day but up 1% over the week, giving the token a market capitalization of approximately $31.87 billion.
