TRON settles $150 billion weekly in stablecoins; challenges Ethereum dominance

TRON has emerged as the leading stablecoin settlement layer, processing roughly $150 billion to $190 billion of USDT transfers weekly, rivaling Ethereum $ETH's throughput and challenging traditional DeFi infrastructure. Originally launched as a content-distribution platform, TRON $TRX has become the de facto backbone for global stablecoin transfer activity.

This shift underscores how low-cost blockchains are capturing payment-layer functions. The concentration of stablecoin volume on TRON raises questions about systemic risk and regulatory oversight of non-Ethereum settlement venues.
