TRON Support Is Live on Alchemy

Stablecoins have quietly become one of the clearest real-world success stories of crypto.

They move trillions of dollars a year, power payments and remittances in emerging markets, act as the base asset for trading, and provide dollar exposure where local currencies are volatile. A huge amount of blockchain’s promise—permissionless money, global access, 24/7 settlement—is playing out through stablecoins.

That’s why we’re excited to share that TRON support is now live on Alchemy.

TRON isn’t just “another chain” for us. It’s:

• The second-largest blockchain by stablecoin market , after Ethereum

• A chain that’s seeing some of the largest stablecoin supply inflows in the world

• Frequently the #1 blockchain by protocol fees, largely driven by stablecoin transfers

In other words: if you care about stablecoins, you have to care about TRON—and now you can build on it with Alchemy.

TRON Is the Second Largest Stablecoin Blockchain

When it comes to stablecoins, two chains clearly dominate: Ethereum and TRON.

TRON is currently the second-largest blockchain by stablecoin market capitalization, with roughly $75–80B in stablecoins live onchain. The network is overwhelmingly driven by USDT, which accounts for ~98%+ of TRON’s stablecoin supply.

In fact, close to half of all circulating USDT globally exists on TRON.

What this means for builders: if your users already hold stablecoins, there’s a good chance many of them are on TRON. With Alchemy, you can read balances, move funds, and build on top of that liquidity using the same abstractions you use on other chains.

TRON Leads the Market in Stablecoin Inflows

It’s not just the size of the stablecoin supply on TRON, it’s the momentum.

TRON consistently ranks among top blockchains for stablecoin inflows, often absorbing hundreds of millions of dollars in net inflows in a single day.

This trend reflects how TRON is being used in practice:

• Cross-border transfers

• P2P payments

• Exchange settlement rails

• Remittances and merchant payments

Most of these transactions are small-ticket transfers, a clear signal of real-world usage rather than purely speculative flows.

For builders: inflows = new users, new balances, and new transaction opportunity. Whether you’re building payments, savings, or trading experiences, Alchemy’s TRON support lets you build right on top of that growing base.

TRON Is Frequently the Top Chain by Fees

Despite having extremely low per-transaction costs, TRON regularly ranks as the top blockchain by total fees generated, often surpassing Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana.

This happens because:

• Transaction fees on TRON are near-zero for end users

• Stablecoin transfers happen at massive scale

• High transaction volume more than compensates for low fees

Even after reducing base fees by ~60%, TRON’s network revenue increased, driven by continued growth in usage. Fee revenue on TRON is largely powered by USDT transfers, reinforcing its role as a high-throughput stablecoin settlement network.

High fee revenue paired with low transaction costs is one of the clearest indicators of sustained, organic demand.

For builders: this is a network where people are actually transacting. A lot. With Alchemy’s infra, you get WebSocket support to stream that activity, robust rate limits, and analytics to understand how your app behaves in a high-throughput environment.

Millions of Daily Users, Millions of Daily Transactions

TRON is one of the most actively used blockchains in the world:

• 2–3M daily active addresses

• 8–10M transactions per day

• 350M+ total accounts created

• Average transaction fees around $0.0003

This activity profile looks very different from many DeFi-first ecosystems. TRON is optimized for volume, speed, and cost efficiency, making it attractive for applications serving large retail user bases.

As a result, TRON has become a dominant settlement layer in regions such as Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, where stablecoins are used as everyday digital dollars.

For builders: if you’re building for global audiences, especially in regions like LatAm, MENA, Africa, and Asia, TRON is often where those users already are. Alchemy gives you a single, consistent interface to reach them, right alongside your existing Ethereum, L2, and other chain deployments.

What Developers Actually Build on TRON

TRON’s onchain activity is driven by clear, real-world use cases:

• Remittance and payout rails. Move USDT on TRON between exchanges, wallets, and users with low fees and high reliability.

• Agent and automation flows. Let agents or backend services programmatically handle stablecoin transfers on TRON using familiar Alchemy APIs.

• Multi-chain experiences. Bridge value via TRON for last-mile delivery while orchestrating business logic on Ethereum, L2s, or other Alchemy-supported networks.

Rather than competing directly with Ethereum’s DeFi depth, TRON excels as the last-mile settlement layer for stablecoins—fast, cheap, and globally accessible.

That makes it a critical chain for developers building payment infrastructure, fintech rails, consumer apps, and global money movement tools.

What TRON Being Live on Alchemy Unlocks

With TRON now live on Alchemy, developers get access to TRON with the same reliability, scalability, and developer experience they expect across Alchemy-supported networks.

As stablecoins continue to expand globally, infrastructure needs to meet users where they already are.

TRON is one of the most important chains in that story today and now it’s available on Alchemy. Ready to build on TRON?
