TRON Reaches 300 Million Accounts
TRON has now officially reached 300 million accounts. A number that is not only a symbol of technical achievement, but also proof that this blockchain network is increasingly familiar with the daily lives of many people—from those who simply send digital tips to those who deal with transactions worth billions of dollars. Just imagine if there was one ecosystem that could be used together by a third of the European population, then used for renting houses, transferring stablecoins, and even the process of minting high-value assets. Well, that’s what’s happening on TRON.

TRON’s Continued Growth
On the other hand, TRON is not standing still either. Some time ago, Tether printed new USDT worth $1 billion on this network. With that addition, the total supply of USDT on TRON has now exceeded $50 billion. This comes ahead of the release of inflation data from the US and China, which could make the market even more unstable. So, it is not impossible that the largest stablecoin issuer is indeed preparing for a surge in activity.
New Tools, Old Troubles for TRON’s Frontman
Furthermore, a new feature called “Gas Free” allows users to pay transaction fees using USDT, without having to have TRX. This is clearly not a small step. In practice, this feature can make transactions more accessible to new users who were previously reluctant to bother with additional tokens. The goal is to simplify interactions in the DeFi ecosystem, while expanding the adoption of stablecoins.
These steps also go hand in hand with TRON’s position in the world of decentralized finance. Justin Sun, the figure behind TRON, even saved the stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD) with a $456 million bailout. CNF previously reported that this action came amid a potential crisis, which could have destroyed confidence in TUSD. However, Sun’s intervention turned things around and confirmed TRON’s role as a liquidity keeper.
However, that doesn’t mean everything went smoothly. Sun himself is facing a legal case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On February 26, 2025, the two parties were negotiating to settle the civil lawsuit. The SEC accused Sun and his companies of manipulating trading volumes and distributing TRX and BitTorrent without permission. In fact, there are also allegations of hidden payments to celebrities who promote the assets. Both parties are now asking for time to prepare a status report within the next 60 days.
The TRON ecosystem is inseparable from the figure of Justin Sun—a figure who is often in the midst of controversies, but also continues to push for the adoption of the technology he believes in. In the middle of uncertain market conditions, TRON has shown its ability to survive. This balance between technical solutions and tactical actions is what keeps TRON relevant.
This achievement has had a positive impact on the price of TRON’s native token, TRX. As of press time, TRX is swapped hands at about $0.2477, up 4.11% over the last 7 days.
