Tron has crossed 4 million daily active users, edging past Solana to claim the top spot among Layer-1 networks in what might be the least glamorous way possible: moving stablecoins.

While Solana has grabbed headlines with memecoins and NFT culture, Tron has been doing something decidedly less exciting but arguably more consequential. It’s become the default infrastructure for USDT transfers, particularly in emerging markets where cheap, fast cross-border payments aren’t a nice-to-have but a necessity.

The numbers behind Tron’s quiet takeover

According to Artemis analytics, Tron recorded approximately 4.35 million active addresses in a recent 24-hour snapshot. That same window saw nearly 13 million transactions processed on the network.

The lifetime figures are even more striking. Tron has amassed over 383 million total accounts and processed 14.1 billion transactions since its mainnet launched in 2018.
