Cointelegraph and CryptoQuant Research Reveal TRON’s Inelastic Activity, Maintaining Stability

Geneva, Switzerland – August 5, 2024 – Leading crypto media research arm Cointelegraph and leading crypto research platform CryptoQuant have released comprehensive research reports offering in-depth analyses of the TRON network. These reports highlight a continuous rise in network activity and emphasize TRON’s high transaction speeds, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, which make it a preferred blockchain network for everyday transactions.

Cointelegraph Research

Cointelegraph’s research provides an in-depth analysis of the TRON ecosystem and key features of the blockchain. The report reveals that, unlike other blockchains driven by incentive programs and speculative trends, TRON’s network activity is anchored by a robust and stable demand, creating a reliable source of protocol revenues. The research also highlights that the demand for USDT and other token transfers on TRON is remarkably inelastic, maintaining stability regardless of market sentiment.

Key Highlights:

Strong growth in active addresses is further evidence of organic adoption. TRON exceeds all of its direct competitors with over 2M daily active wallet addresses.
According to data from DefiLlama, TRON has replaced the BNB Chain as the L1 with the second-highest TVL.
As of June 2024, TRON is the second-largest blockchain in terms of stablecoin transfer activity.
A 15% increase in market cap was noted in Q1, alongside a record revenue of $128.1 million in the first quarter, ranking it among the top revenue-generating blockchain networks.

CryptoQuant Research

CryptoQuant’s research report offers an in-depth analysis of the TRON network, examining its fast transaction speeds and the TRC-20 USDT stablecoin activity. On-chain data reveals that most holders on TRON are classified as retail or small holders who use TRC-20 USDT for everyday transactions.

Key Analysis:

TRON’s key advantages are its high scalability and transaction speed. The network is capable of processing up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS), significantly higher than Ethereum’s 119 TPS (excluding Layer-2).
TRON achieves high transaction speeds through its efficient DPoS mechanism and integration with BitTorrent for distributed storage. Contrary to other blockchains, it does not rely heavily on external scaling solutions, making TRON suitable for various types of transactions, even large-scale applications and high-traffic environments.
Most holders of USDT on TRON could be classified as “retail” or small holders. There are over 52.6M million small holders who were responsible for 28% of USDT transactions on the TRON network as of July 2024.

CryptoQuant’s report highlights that TRON excels in handling both large and small transactions. However, it is particularly favored by retail users for fast, frequent, low-value transactions such as remittances, micropayments, and peer-to-peer transfers. The strong participation of retail users highlights TRON’s practicality and cost-effectiveness. With a steady increase in transaction volume and network activity, TRON is enhancing liquidity and overall network health.

About TRON DAO

TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.

Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of August 2024, it has over 247 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 8 billion total transactions, and over $22 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN.

In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
