TRON now ranks third among all public chains by TVL at $6.17 billion, following closely behind Ethereum and BNB Chain, according to data provided by DefiLlama, one of the largest TVL aggregators for DeFi.
TRX has been gaining momentous backing from major asset management companies lately, including Fireblocks, a leading global digital asset and crypto infrastructure platform, which announced its support for TRX and all TRC-20 tokens of the TRON blockchain on its institutionally-focused digital asset platform last week. This announcement follows Crypto Finance, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse, who announced its support for TRX storage, custody, and trading, making TRX available to the entire Deutsche Börse network.
In terms of stablecoin development, the TRON DAO Reserve has onboarded multiple premier blockchain institutions such as Alameda Research, Amber Group, Poloniex, Ankr, Mirana, Multichain, FalconX, and most recently TPS Capital as Members and Whitelisted Institutions to mint USDD, with more names to be announced in the coming weeks.
USDD is already trading on popular lending platforms, decentralized exchanges, and centralized exchanges, such as JustLend, SunSwap, PancakeSwap, Ellipsis, Uniswap, Curve, Poloniex, Huobi Global, KuCoin, Gate.io, LBank, Bibox, Bitget Global, and KyberSwap. On Thursday, May 26 at 10 a.m. UTC, Bybit, one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchanges with over 6 million registered users, listed USDD under a special launch. As part of the launch, Bybit has announced a two-part event with a prize pool of 400,000 USDD. TRON is proud to have supported over 122 million USDD in liquidity pools as of May 25.
“TRON’s meteoric rise to the world’s top three public chains by TVL can be attributed to its sustained efforts to foster growth across the entire ecosystem,” said H.E. Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “USDD has reached 667 million in circulation, Season 2 of the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 is underway with prominent partners and judges from across the industry, and there is explosive growth across the entire ecosystem. Ever since becoming a DAO, the TRON community has kept on BUIDLing!”
Stablecoins have long been a crucial component of the DeFi market, and TRON has been devoting considerable resources to it for several years. From forging strong relationships with issuance platforms like Tether and Circle to establishing the TRON DAO Reserve and launching USDD based on the TRON platform, TRON has built a robust stablecoin armada that includes USDT, USDJ, TUSD, USDC, and USDD. USDD quote pairs are now available on Huobi Global with a zero trading fee. This includes TRX/USDD, BTT/USDD, NFT/USDD, JST/USDD, SUN/USDD, WIN/USDD, USDD/USDT, and USDD/USDC.
TRON has also recently commemorated the highly anticipated Season 2 of the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 on Monday, May 16, with a wave of applicants. That same week, TRON DAO announced the launch of a $10 million incentive fund program taking into account the recent events to support Terra developers migrating to the TRON ecosystem. TRX is also confirmed to be listed on DMM Bitcoin soon, a top 2 crypto exchange in Japan.
Since it transitioned to a DAO in December 2021, TRON has evolved into one of the largest blockchain ecosystems in the world. With its on-chain asset value reaching $54.4 billion, TRON is now one of the most active settlement layers boasting an exceptional lineup in DeFi, NFT, GameFi, cross-chain connectivity, and stablecoins, accommodating over 95 million on-chain users with 3.2 billion transactions processed on its network.
