TRON Reports Record Monthly Revenue of $343 Million as USDD Circulation Surpasses 400 Million and BTFS Governance Proposals Advance

The TRON ecosystem has definitely been busy over the past week, staying true to form in making headlines. From May 30 to June 5, 2023, TRON set new protocol revenue records and demonstrated network growth in stablecoin adoption and community governance activities. The TRON ecosystem continues to grow steadily, thanks to a strong underlying infrastructure, construction and use of new protocols, and a dedicated community of users.

What is especially exciting is how everything TRON has been working on seems to be working in unison, including the overall project as independent initiatives, protocol-level performance, community discussions, and token economics. In contrast to most other blockchain projects that struggle to maintain momentum, TRON has repeatedly succeeded in building on its achievements. The growth of protocol revenue, the new updates around USDD 2.0, and the updates from the BTFS community all reflect how alignment around vision leads to impactful results in the real world.

How Did TRON Hit $343 Million in Protocol Revenue?

TRON’s protocol revenue hit an all-time high of $343 million in May 2025. This historic rise in revenue shows that more developers, users, and dApps are using TRON’s infrastructure. The increase in protocol revenue represents a lot of network activity that was driven by a large number of transactions, affordable fees, and more DeFi activity. This also positions TRON as one of the most profitable Layer-1 blockchains alongside Ethereum and BNB Chain. 

The TRON ecosystem allows for guaranteed throughput and low latency, and as a result, more protocols are being built and scaled on the TRON network. High protocol revenue is not merely a vanity metric, as it demonstrates real economic value being created on-chain. If growth continues at its current pace, TRON is in a strong position to set the standard for long-term protocol sustainability on-chain.

Why Is USDD 2.0 Gaining So Much Traction?

Stablecoins serve a significant role in many DeFi ecosystems, including the rapidly growing USDD 2.0 on TRON, which is becoming a strong competitor. Last week, the circulating supply of USDD 2.0 surpassed 400 million. This is an important milestone, and it’s possible that user adoption and trust of USDD 2.0 is growing. USDD 2.0 is being developed based on more centralized transparency and improved risk management protocols from previous issuers, so it has an advantage as stablecoins are competing, facing increased regulations and consolidation.

The growing circulating supply of USDD 2.0 suggests an ecosystem of users has recently discovered it for yield farming, trading, and cross-chain transfers. All of which are important for the future of DeFi. There are liquidity incentives and DEX integrations within the TRON ecosystem, with better wallet usability support and compatibility with ecosystem wallets, which has aided USDD 2.0 adoption. Clearly, the upward trend of users utilizing stable digital assets like USDD 2.0 in the TRON ecosystem will continue to grow, and its effectiveness will generate momentum across TRON’s entire financial ecosystem!

What Are BTIP-90 and BTIP-91 and Why Do They Matter?

Community-led governance is at the core of blockchain development, and TRON’s BTFS (BitTorrent File System) ecosystem is an example of a decentralized proposal for the future. This week, the BTFS tech community began open discussions on two (2) proposals for the BTFS protocol, BTIP – 90 and BTIP – 91, to further elaborate incentive mechanisms and enhance storage reliability. 

While the specific technical details are still under community review, early feedback indicates strong support for enhanced functionality and a more sustainable token economy. The transparent, collaborative nature of BTIP discussions is proof that TRON is committed to decentralization not just in word but in action. As the TRON ecosystem matures, on-chain governance tools like these will be essential in keeping development aligned with user needs and community priorities.

A Stable Network with Continuous Momentum

Aside from the headline milestones, the broader TRON network remained steady and reliable throughout the week. With uptime, throughput, and transaction finality holding strong, the ecosystem provides an increasingly attractive option for dApps and developers looking for a stable home. This kind of consistency builds confidence, not just among users, but also among institutional partners, investors, and project developers. The TRON ecosystem is becoming a launchpad for innovation, especially in areas like DeFi, storage, and cross-border payments.

Why This Week Proves TRON Is Just Getting Started? 

From record-breaking protocol revenue to the rise of USDD 2.0 and robust community governance, this week’s updates show that the TRON ecosystem is operating at full throttle. Each development feeds into a bigger narrative, one where decentralization, economic scalability, and active user engagement form the backbone of a thriving blockchain project. As other projects face headwinds, TRON is charting a growth path powered by real adoption and community involvement. If these trends continue, expect to see TRON’s influence deepen not just in crypto, but across mainstream digital finance.
