TRON’s blockchain network posted fresh gains in stablecoin activity in the second half of 2025, highlighting its growing role as a low-cost settlement layer for digital dollar transfers and cross-chain payments. The update paints a picture of steady ecosystem expansion, even as the project’s founder, Justin Sun, faces renewed scrutiny following new fraud and market manipulation claims from an alleged former partner.
In its newly released H2 2025 report, TRON emphasized progress in scaling stablecoin settlement, positioning the network as a fast and affordable rail for moving value between wallets, apps, and blockchains. Over recent years, TRON has leaned into this niche, promoting low transaction fees and smooth integrations with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and cross-chain tools. The goal, according to the report, is to keep TRX and TRON-based infrastructure embedded in everyday crypto payments, especially for stablecoins that are widely used for trading and remittances.
This latest update builds on momentum from the first half of 2025. Earlier in the year, TRON expanded its lineup of Super Representatives — the network’s block producers under its delegated proof-of-stake model — while rolling out technical upgrades aimed at developers. Those improvements included new integrations designed to make it easier for apps to plug into TRON’s ecosystem, along with the launch of an additional stablecoin on the network. Together, these moves were framed as part of a longer-term strategy to keep TRON competitive as blockchains race to become the go-to settlement layer for digital assets.
The H2 report also acknowledges that competition across the blockchain sector is heating up. Multiple networks are vying to capture stablecoin flows by offering faster speeds, lower fees, and smoother cross-chain experiences. TRON’s response, according to the publication, is to focus on operating stablecoin settlement “at scale,” supported by infrastructure upgrades and a more active group of Super Representatives to maintain network performance and reliability.
However, the timing of the update comes with a cloud of uncertainty. New allegations of fraud and market manipulation involving Justin Sun have surfaced, adding governance and reputational risk to TRON’s growth story. While the claims come from an alleged ex-partner and remain separate from the network’s technical progress, they could influence how investors and users perceive the project’s leadership and long-term stability.
Notably, the preliminary summary of TRON’s H2 2025 report did not include detailed figures on transaction volumes, competitive benchmarks, or deeper technical specifications. Those metrics are often closely watched by market participants looking to gauge whether growth narratives are translating into real usage.
Founded in 2017, TRON has steadily carved out a role as a major hub for stablecoin transfers. As stablecoins continue to underpin trading activity and on-chain payments, TRON’s ability to maintain low fees and reliable infrastructure could keep it relevant in a crowded market. Still, with competitive pressure rising and governance concerns back in the spotlight, the network’s next phase of growth may depend as much on trust and transparency as on technical upgrades.
