Tron Leads USDT Circulation After GENIUS Act Passes
Tron now holds 51% of all USDT after the GENIUS Act passed, triggering a $1B USDT mint on the network.
- GENIUS Act spurred $1B USDT minting on Tron
- Tron now hosts 51% of all USDT in circulation
- Total USDT supply reaches $163 billion
After the GENIUS Act passed, the Tron blockchain witnessed an immediate and dramatic boost in its role within the stablecoin economy. Tether (USDT), the world’s largest stablecoin by market cap, saw $1 billion newly minted directly on the Tron network in response to the legislative development.
This surge has brought Tron’s total USDT holdings to $83 billion, accounting for roughly 51% of the entire $163 billion USDT supply. With this, Tron now officially surpasses other chains in hosting USDT, underlining its growing dominance in the stablecoin ecosystem.
What is the GENIUS Act and Why Does It Matter?
The GENIUS Act, recently passed in the U.S., is aimed at regulating and legitimizing the use of stablecoins like USDT. While specific details of the legislation are still unfolding, it has already had a tangible impact on blockchain ecosystems—particularly Tron.
The Act may have encouraged institutional confidence and opened the door for large-scale issuances, possibly explaining why $1 billion in new USDT was minted right after its passage.
Tron’s low fees and high-speed transactions make it an ideal choice for stablecoin transfers, which is likely why Tether chose it for this large-scale mint.
Tron’s Expanding Role in Crypto Finance
With over half of all USDT now circulating on Tron, the blockchain is cementing its place as a key infrastructure for digital finance. This shift could bring more developers, institutions, and DeFi projects to the Tron network, seeking faster and cheaper transactions.
In the broader picture, Tron’s share of USDT circulation is more than symbolic—it reflects growing trust and usage, especially in emerging markets and regions with high demand for stable digital currencies.
As stablecoins become increasingly central to crypto and traditional finance, Tron is now better positioned than ever to play a pivotal role.
