Tron returns in force in the Stablecoins race. With a new injection of 1 billion USDT by Tether, the network is dangerously close to Ethereum, current leader. This rebound marks a key step in the blockchains war to dominate the crypto market of stable currencies.
In short
- Tether issued 1 billion USDT on Tron, reducing the gap with Ethereum to only $ 1.4 billion.
- Tron could become the first blockchain for the USDT again, putting pressure on Ethereum already down.
- The Stablecoins, called to weigh 2,000 billion by 2028, become a strategic issue between blockchains.
Tether hits hard on Tron: Soon the Stablecoins leader?
Between July 2022 and November 2024, Tron already dominated Ethereum in terms of circulation of the USDT. But a massive Mint of 18 billion on Ethereum had allowed the latter to go back to. Today, the dynamics seem to be reversed again.
Indeed, the Tron network has just received a major boost with the issue of $ 1 billion in USDT per Tether on May 5, According to Arkham Intelligence. This operation brings the Tother of Tether in circulation on Tron at 71.4 billion dollars, compared to 72.8 billion on Ethereum. The gap is therefore reduced to only 1.4 billion, and the trend could soon reverse the hierarchy between the two rival blockchains.
Ethereum under pressure while the ETH is falling!
Tron, long considered an outsider, could therefore regain the head of the stablecoins race … unless Ethereum replies quickly to keep his advance. He could rely on:
- Its robust defi ecosystem;
- Its proven safety;
- The growing institutional attraction of its network.
In addition, a new strategic mint from TETHER or an improvement in the effectiveness of costs via LAYER 2 solutions could consolidate its domination.
However, This new Tron's advance In the USDT race could accentuate the lower pressure on Ethereum, already down 3 % over 24 hours, around 1,773 dollars. If investors perceive a loss of influence in the Stablecoin ecosystem, this could slow the demand for ETH, especially in the face of the climb of a tron and its almost zero costs.
In a context where stablecoins already weigh 8 % of the crypto market, their strategic role continues to grow. The US Treasury even anticipates a surge in stablecoins around $ 2,000 billion by 2028, provided for clear regulation. In this race, each network – Tron or Ethereum – plays its place in the future digital financial system.
