Tron, a decentralized, proof-of-stake blockchain with smart contract functionality has shown an outstanding performance in 2024. The performance helped in making its position more robust in the industry. The network used significant market trends to captivate and onboard new users and boost on-chain activity.
Looking at the trend shown by Tron throughout 2024, it indicates that the network has shown better price performance than the leading cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH as well as other altcoins.
It surpassed Bitcoin by around 27% and the wider altcoin market by 50%. The native token of the Tron blockchain, TRX attained a new all-time high of $0.426 having a market capitalization of $9.54 billion, on December 3, 2024.
Stablecoins on Tron also witnessed a great performance and increased activity last year. The supply skyrocketed by 27% mainly affected by comprehensive USDT issuance.
USDT dominating the TRON network
As per Defillama, USDT is leading over TRON estimated for around 98% of the stablecoin supply. The usage of this stablecoin is estimated at about 30% of all transactions on the network. At the same time, around 47% of the overall USDT supply is based on Ethereum.
The introduction of SunPump, the first meme fair launch platform on Tron played a significant role in the network’s ecosystem. SunPump swiftly accumulated key interest from the crypto community. The success was ignited by the active support for the ecosystem, including its $10 million meme ecosystem incentive program.
The memecoin craze on the network led to the introduction of over 94,000 new tokens. SunPump managed to position itself in the top three most successful fair launch platforms. The other two fair launch platforms are Pump(dot)fun and Moonshot.
After some time of its introduction, it captivated some Pump(dot) fun’s audience, influenced by the rise of high market capitalization memecoin on Tron and quick adoption of the Tron-backed trading tools.
Another reason for high activity
In 2025, the network has been continuously ranked among the top layer-1 blockchain fueled by the number of active addresses and transactions. Adding more to this, Tron went over $2 billion in annual revenue, marking a new record.
Another significant reason for the high activity on the network except the introduction of Sun(dot)Pump is the stablecoin transfers. Tron has also made a significant contribution to putting a stop to illegal activities including USDT.
Since its introduction in August, the T3 Financial Crime Unit has frozen and captured more than 126 million USDT from bad actors. The co-founder of Tron, Justin Sun has recently dropped hints at the creation of an AI-associated service on the network.
