USDT supply on TRON has surpassed $80 billion, accounting for over 50% of circulating USDT.
TRX price is currently at $0.27, but could rise to $0.44 in the short term amid bullish momentum.
ETFs, partnerships, and network growth are likely catalysts for TRON price.
TRON (TRX) price is down on the day, but the blockchain project is making headlines elsewhere as the supply of Tether’s USDT on its blockchain has surpassed $80 billion.
The native Tron token TRX traded at $0.27 on Friday, June 27, with CoinMarketCap showing the price was down under 1%. Intraday highs for the altcoin range around $0.29, and TRON remains in the top 10 by market cap.
However, the question might be, what does the USDT milestone mean for TRON’s price?
USDT supply on TRON hits $80 billion
As the crypto market eyes gains and stablecoin adoption grows, Glassnode has shared details that reveal a dramatic rise in Tether (USDT) supply on the TRON network.
Notably, the Tether-issued US dollar-pegged token has surpassed the $80 billion supply mark as of mid-2025.

This marks a significant leap from earlier years, with the supply growing steadily from negligible amounts in 2020 to over $60 billion by 2024, before accelerating sharply into 2025. As seen in the chart by Glassnode, there’s a steep upward trajectory, reflecting TRON’s increasing role in facilitating stablecoin transactions.
USDT in circulation currently sits at around $157.4 billion. With more than half of the total circulating USDT at $80 billion is dominance that solidifies TRON’s position as a preferred blockchain for stablecoin settlements, outpacing competitors like Ethereum.
The network’s efficiency and low transaction costs have likely driven this adoption, with institutional and remittance use cases further fueling demand.
May 2025 saw a record $684 billion in transfer volume, while 283 million USDT transfers this year highlight explosive user adoption.
TRON price prediction
Currently priced at $0.27 with a 24-hour trading volume of $407 million, TRON has shown resilience.
While price has recently dipped from highs of $0.29, bulls have held above the key support level of $0.20 since early January.
The surge in USDT supply is a bullish signal, as it boosts network usage and attracts more users to TRON’s ecosystem, including DeFi and payment applications.
Looking at the price outlook, several catalysts could drive TRX’s price higher.
The potential launch of TRON-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could attract institutional investment, mirroring trends seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Additionally, strategic partnerships—such as collaborations with major financial institutions or further integration with Tether- might prove huge for TRX.
Recently, it was announced that Tron is eyeing a public listing via a reverse merger. The deal, which reportedly eyes an IPO with Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment, will transform TRON into a treasury company.
Short-term, TRX might test resistance around $0.30. A breakout above $0.30 will allow bulls to target December 2024 highs above $0.44, which formed TRX’s all-time high. Long term, TRON price will eye a rally to $1.
