\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTron witnessed expansion in decentralized finance (DeFi), liquidity layers, network activity, and USDT supply.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
The Tron network performed relatively well in 2025, recording a trend of high throughput and sustained activity. The year also highlighted the network\u2019s scalability, competitiveness in the industry, user retention, and economic utility.<\/p>\n
Analysts at the market research firm CryptoQuant have published a special report reviewing Tron\u2019s journey over the past year. The publication, shared with CryptoPotato<\/em>, examines the impact of new developments, such as lower fees and TRX\u2019s growth as a native cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n According to CryptoQuant, Tron network activity reached structural highs, with peaks in monthly transaction volume and active addresses. Monthly transactions recorded an all-time high (ATH) of 323 million in December, rising 39% from December 2024. On the other hand, monthly active addresses peaked at 35.5 million and ended the year at 31.3 million, a 24% year-over-year (YoY) increase.<\/p>\n The rise in transactions per active address surged to a two-year high of 10.5, up from 9.2 in December 2024. This indicated a rise in user intensity and deeper engagement beyond simple address growth.<\/p>\n Tron implemented a 60% cut in unit energy price in August 2025, slashing average transaction fees by 65% to $0.53, the lowest since September 2023. This caused fee revenues to fall, with monthly figures declining from $399 million pre-cut to $183 million in December. Analysts insist the development reflected a strategic trade-off prioritizing throughput and usage over per-transaction revenue.<\/p>\n Evaluating the ecosystem as a whole, Tron witnessed an expansion in decentralized finance (DeFi) and liquidity layers. DeFi platforms like SunSwap and JustLend averaged billions of dollars in liquidity. The former sustained a monthly average of $3.1 billion in wrapped TRX (WTRX) swap volume, while the latter\u2019s deposits soared 56% YoY to $12.8 billion.<\/p>\n Last year, TRX recorded high transfers in USD terms, with the total amount standing at $85.2 billion, a 44% increase from 2024 levels. Analysts attributed most of the growth to the rise<\/a> in the asset\u2019s price \u2013 TRX reached a monthly average ATH of $0.34 in September 2025.<\/p>\n Contrarily, the total TRX transfers in native units amounted to 309 billion, representing a 27% decline from 2024. The decline occurred because more TRX were staked for voting and network security. About 48% of the TRX supply (45.7 billion coins) is currently staked.<\/p>\n Notably, the Tether (USDT) supply on Tron expanded<\/a> significantly, rising 40% from $58 billion in 2024 to $81 billion last year. USDT bridging volume also jumped 215% YoY to $17.8 billion. Tron is now the dominant USDT transaction rail, having processed more than 825 million USDT transfers last year and ending December with a USDT transaction volume twice that of Ethereum.<\/p>\nTron Network Activity Surges<\/h2>\n
