TRON Records $2.21 Trillion in Q3 Stablecoin Settlements

TRON recorded $2.2126 trillion in stablecoin settlement during the third quarter, marking a 5.1% increase from the preceding quarter, according to figures published by TRON DAO Research. The network's daily average reached $24.05 billion over the 92 days of Q3, up 3.9% from $23.14 billion in Q2.

Network Fees and Token Activity

Network fees totaled $701.4 million across July, August, and September, averaging about $7.62 million a day. The network processed approximately 1.10 billion transactions during the quarter, a volume broadly unchanged from the previous period. TRON generated 360.2 million TRX and burned 234.5 million TRX in Q3, leaving a net issuance of 125.8 million tokens. Combined USDT and USDD token supply on the network reached $93.88 billion at quarter-end, an increase of $4.88 billion from Q2.

Understanding Resource Costs

TRON operates a resource system where accounts pay for computation and transaction data through Bandwidth and Energy rather than paying a direct percentage of transferred stablecoins. Users can obtain resources by staking TRX, receiving delegations from other accounts, or burning TRX when allocations fall short. Mainnet rates stand at 0.001 TRX per Bandwidth unit and 0.0001 TRX per Energy unit. The reported $701.4 million fee series represents network-level charges rather than direct payments to TRON DAO, validators, or corporate earnings.
