🌐 TRON network within a week | $30 trillion in transfers.. and continuous expansion in usage and financial infrastructure
The TRON network witnessed a busy week of developments across multiple levels from Saturday, September 19 to Friday, September 25, 2026—starting with the expansion of TRX’s presence in traditional financial markets, through recording new figures in accounts and transactions and transfer volumes, and reaching the expansion of USDT usage in payments and trade, as well as adding new tools for developers and infrastructure.
While the network continued to post record numbers in activity, the week also brought new developments in the DeFi ecosystem, technical integrations, and updates related to payments and stablecoins—along with TRXS fund expansion across multiple financial platforms.
📊 New figures reflect the size of the TRON network
One of the biggest events of the week was that the total transfer volume on the TRON network reached more than $30 trillion.
This figure comes alongside surpassing the 405 million accounts threshold on the network, as well as surpassing the 15.6 billion transactions threshold for total transactions.
These figures reflect the size of accumulated activity on the network over the past years, alongside continued expansion of the user base and higher volumes of transactions carried out via TRON network infrastructure.
Over eight years of development, the network now includes:
• More than 405 million accounts.
• More than 15.6 billion transactions.
• More than $30 trillion in total transfer volume.
These indicators together combine the size of the account base, the density of activity, and the amount of value transferred and settled across the network.
🔥 Continued burning of the TRX token
The week also saw continued burning of the TRX token.
According to data published by the TRON DAO Arabic account, 2,260,435 TRX were burned on September 23, 2026.
Burning operations come as part of a mechanism tied to using TRON network resources and transaction activity on them, making burn data one of the indicators through which activity on the network can be tracked.
This figure comes as part of a series of daily burn data recorded by the TRON network over the past period, alongside the continued growth of usage.
🏦 TRXS fund expands its presence in financial markets
The expansion of the Canary Staked TRX ETF fund, known as TRXS, was one of the standout financial stories of the week.
After the fund became available on several platforms, TRXS continued expanding onto new financial platforms, including E*TRADE, then Webull, along with other platforms such as Interactive Brokers and Public.
This is in collaboration with Canary Capital, the entity associated with the TRXS fund.
This expansion reflects the continued building of new channels to access TRX through traditional financial markets, as the fund extends to a wider range of platforms offering TRX-related products.
The importance here is not tied to a single platform, but to the continuous path TRXS follows within traditional financial infrastructure.
💵 USDT on the TRON network moves even more toward everyday usage
Over the week, there were several developments related to using USDT on the TRON network beyond traditional transfers.
CoinsBee announced that USDT on the TRON network has become the most used payment option on the platform, according to its payment data.
CoinsBee also announced an offer that grants eligible users a 2% discount when paying with USDT on the TRON network during the period from September 21 to October 5, 2026.
This step reveals an important aspect of stablecoin usage evolution: liquidity on-chain is moving into real purchases of products and services.
🛍️ TRON network in the ticketing and digital commerce sector
UQUID @uquidcard’s platform offered another example of this trend.
According to data published by the platform, the TRON network ranked first in bulk ticket purchases on UQUID, with a 78% share from June to September 2026.
This period included events and seasons with high ticket demand, as well as companies and groups using the network in employee events, team-building, customer entertainment, and large orders.
UQUID pointed out that execution speed, lower transaction costs, and deep liquidity of the USDT token are important factors in this usage.
A different picture of TRON’s usage emerges here: not only as a network for asset transfers, but as a settlement layer involved in real commercial operations.
⚡ Binance Wallet launches a gas-free transfer experience on TRON
The week also saw Binance Wallet announce an offer that allows eligible users to benefit from USDT transfers and other TRC-20 assets on the TRON network without gas fees during the period from September 23 to December 22, 2026, with a limited number of spots available.
After the free slots end, discounted transfer fees become available at 1 USDT per transaction according to the offer details.
This is important for the TRON network because it simplifies the experience of transferring TRC-20 assets—especially for users who don’t want to hold TRX separately just to cover network fees.
This step also highlights the importance of TRON infrastructure in stablecoin transfer operations, especially with the widespread use of USDT on the network.
🧩 Privy expands its support for the TRON network
On the developer infrastructure front, TRON announced an expansion of support for the Privy @privy_io platform for the network.
Integrating Privy allows developers and companies to use Privy tools to build and manage wallets and financial applications on the TRON network, with features related to transaction management, policies, transfers, and monitoring.
This step adds a new layer of tools for developers working on financial applications, supporting the development of more integrated products on top of the TRON network.
🛡️ OpenZeppelin is now available on the TRON network
The week also saw an important development in smart contract security, with OpenZeppelin @OpenZeppelin becoming available on the TRON network.
This allows developers to benefit from audited smart contract components, along with security tools and familiar upgrade workflows designed to support development on the network.
The presence of specialized tools in smart contract security is an important element in the evolution of developer infrastructure, especially as financial and decentralized applications expand on the network.
From this angle, TRON’s growth is not limited to users and transactions—it also includes the tools developers need to build and run applications.
⚡ Lower Energy cost on JustLend DAO
During the week, the DeFi sector saw an important update from the JustLend DAO @DeFi_JUST platform.
The base rate for Energy pricing was reduced from 15% to 8%.
According to published pricing data, 100,000 Energy became available for 4.488 TRX, which equals 44 Sun per day.
This also means that lowering Energy costs makes it possible to reduce the cost of executing smart contracts and transactions that rely on network resources.
In the TRON ecosystem, Energy is one of the key resources associated with executing smart contracts, so improving its pricing mechanism is reflected in the experience of using applications built on the network.
🤖 Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6 reaches the B.AI platform
The week also saw an update in the AI sector within the ecosystem, with the Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6 model series made available on the B.AI platform @BAI_AGI.
The chain includes two main model types:
• MiMo-V2.6-Pro model with a total of 1.02T parameters, including 42B active parameters.
• MiMo-V2.6-Flash model with a total of 309B parameters, including 15B active parameters.
The chain provides a 1M-sized context window, along with native capabilities to understand text, images, video, and audio.
The models are now also available via the B.AI API and the Web Chat service.
This development adds another dimension to TRON’s ecosystem diversity, with more AI-related projects and digital infrastructure tools continuing to emerge.
🏆 Justin Sun Prize moves to the blockchain
Another key development of the week was The Justin Sun Prize @JustinSunPrize announcement of making the prize fund available on the blockchain, so it can be verified publicly.
According to the announcement, prizes are distributed by the prize operator using USDT via the TRC-20 standard or USDC via the ERC-20 standard, based on the prize rules.
Placing the prize fund on-chain adds a layer of transparency, allowing the fund to be verified directly through the blockchain.
The initiative combines support for mathematics and the use of the open, verifiable infrastructure provided by blockchain technology.
🇰🇷 The TGF Korea community continues its activity
On the community level, Seoul in South Korea hosted an in-person meeting on September 20 for members of the TGF Korea community.
The meetup gave members an opportunity to come together directly, exchange ideas and experiences related to the TRON ecosystem—extending the community activity that TRON’s network witnesses across different regions of the world.
Such meetups confirm that blockchain ecosystem growth is not tied to technical numbers alone—it also extends to the communities that interact with the network and help spread knowledge about it.
🌐 A week combining usage, financial infrastructure, and technology
When looking at the week’s events as a whole, several parallel tracks emerge within the TRON network.
On the one hand, the network recorded more than 405 million accounts and over 15.6 billion transactions, with the total transfer volume exceeding $30 trillion.
On the other hand, TRX expansion within traditional financial markets continued through the TRXS fund, while USDT on the TRON network kept growing in payments and digital commerce through platforms such as CoinsBee and UQUID.
Meanwhile, the infrastructure saw new developments with Privy and OpenZeppelin, along with updates related to Energy costs on JustLend DAO.
New developments in AI and the community also appeared, with the Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6 models on B.AI and TGF Korea activity—while the Justin Sun Prize moved to a new stage with its prize fund being made available on the blockchain.
🔎 Summary
The week from September 19 to 25, 2026 was a multi-track week for the TRON network.
The large numbers dominated the picture: total transfer volume surpassed $30 trillion, with more than 405 million accounts and over 15.6 billion transactions.
But the most significant development is in diversifying use cases and the surrounding infrastructure: from payments and commerce to traditional financial markets and DeFi, developer tools, smart contract security, and extending all the way to AI and community initiatives.
Thus, this week reflects a network whose growth is not limited to a single number, but is distributed across activity volume, breadth of usage, infrastructure development, and TRON’s expanding presence across multiple sectors of the digital economy.
