TRX eyes recovery as total USDT supply on Tron surpasses $80B

As the network reaches a major milestone in the stablecoin space, TRX, the native token of TRON, is showing signs of a possible recovery.

According to a June 24 analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Maartunn, the total circulating supply of Tether ( USDT ) on the Tron ( TRX ) blockchain has now exceeded $80 billion.

This record positions Tron as the largest network for USDT issuance .

Since late 2020, USDT supply on Tron has grown almost continuously.

It jumped from just under $7 billion to over $39 billion during the 2021 bull market.

For the first time in three years, it surpassed Ethereum ( ETH ) in terms of the overall USDT supply in November 2024. The growth continued into 2025, rising from $59.76 billion at the beginning of the year to more than $80.76 billion by mid-June.

Despite this rapid growth in stablecoin supply, the network’s total value locked has decreased from about $7.5 billion in January to just $4.3 billion, as per DefiLlama data .

Monthly trading volume on TRON-based DEXs rose from $4.9 billion in April to $5.5 billion in May, showing renewed trading activity on-chain.

At the time of writing, TRX is trading at $0.2729, up 2.2% over the past 24 hours, with a weekly range of $0.2605 to $0.2791. The token is still 36% below its peak of $0.4313, which was reached in December 2024. With daily volume down almost 29% to $939 million, spot trading activity seems to have cooled.

From a technical perspective, TRX appears to be consolidating near key support levels.

 The price has been moving sideways just below the 20-day simple moving average.

However, it is still above the majority of important exponential moving averages over both short and long timeframes, such as the 10-, 30-, 50-, and 100-day EMAs.

TRX price analysis.

Credit: crypto.news This alignment points to underlying strength in the trend, even though price is still range-bound.

The Bollinger Bands are showing a slight narrowing, which indicates less volatility, and TRX is hugging the middle band.

The relative strength index, which is near 50, shows a neutral momentum bias.

The momentum and bull/bear power indicators are flashing buy signals, but the MACD indicator is still in slightly bearish territory.

If TRX decisively clears the 20-day SMA and breaks above the $0.28 range, a bullish breakout might develop, possibly paving the way for a retest of the $0.30–$0.32 range.

On the downside, the token may be susceptible to additional losses toward the lower Bollinger Band around $0.262 if it is unable to hold above $0.265. Read more: Tron price prediction as Nasdaq listing looms: Bullish continuation ahead?.
