CryptoSlate reported that TRON has surpassed $30 trillion in lifetime transaction volume, driven by its dominance in dollar-denominated transfers. TRON DAO said the milestone was reached on Sept. 24. Tether’s USDT supply on the network now exceeds $94 billion, the largest on any blockchain. According to Token Terminal data, the platform handled approximately $6 trillion in USDT transfers in 2026, a daily average of about $25 billion.
That liquidity has attracted illicit activity. TRM Labs identified that TRON processed over $26 billion of the $45 billion in illicit crypto volume it detected in 2024, surpassing any other blockchain. These funds were linked to scams, hacks, sanctioned entities, and darknet markets.
The T3 Financial Crime Unit, established with TRM Labs in 2024, had seized over $450 million in illicit assets by May 2026. The unit collaborates with authorities in 23 jurisdictions.
Regulated product expansion is underway on the network. This month, Canary Capital began offering a staked TRX exchange-traded fund. Anchorage Digital added TRX staking and custody for TRC-20 assets. Securitize issued a tokenized Hamilton Lane fund on the network.
