Recently, the TRON blockchain ushered in a historic moment: the first batch of 1,000 USD1 stablecoins were successfully minted on the chain. This milestone event not only marks TRONs new breakthrough in the field of stablecoins, but also indicates that its strategic position as a global financial infrastructure is further consolidated. TRON founder Justin Sun announced the news through the X platform and said: This is a small step for USD1, but a big step for the development of stablecoins! Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, forwarded Suns post and thanked TRON for its support for USD1, highlighting the significance of this cooperation.
USD1 Minting Starts, TRON Leads a New Era of Stablecoins
As the worlds largest stablecoin settlement ecosystem, TRON has long been the preferred network for stablecoins such as USDT with its millions of transactions per second (TPS), low transaction fees, and ultra-high block confirmation speed.
According to the CryptoQuant 2024 report, the average daily transfer volume of USDT on the TRON network is as high as 2 million times. As of June 2025, the circulation of TRC 20-USDT has exceeded 78 billion US dollars, occupying a core position in the global stablecoin market. The first batch of USD1 minting has further enriched TRONs stablecoin matrix, covering USDT, USDD, USDJ, etc. The total circulation of stablecoins on the chain has approached 80 billion US dollars, ranking first in the global public chain.
USD1 is a stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), backed by short-term treasury bonds and cash equivalents at a 1:1 ratio, and is combined with BitGo Trust Companys reserve custody and monthly third-party audits to ensure its transparency and compliance. The 1,000 USD1 minted on the TRON chain this time marks the official integration of USD1 into the efficient ecosystem of TRON.
Market analysts believe that USD1 chose TRON as its new battlefield due to its natural advantages in payment, settlement and trading scenarios. Compared with the USD1 supply of 47.67 million USD on Ethereum and the scale of 2.141 billion USD on BNB Chain (of which 2 billion USD is driven by the MGX sovereign fund), TRONs USD1 started late, but with its 300 million user base and mature stablecoin ecosystem, it is expected to rapidly expand its application scenarios.
In addition, TRON plans to achieve “zero cost” for stablecoin transfers by the end of 2025 through smart contract optimization, further consolidating its competitiveness in the global payment field. Sun Yuchen previously said: “The minting of USD1 is an important step for TRON to promote financial freedom. Our goal is to enable everyone to easily use stablecoins through their mobile phones and participate in the global financial system.”
TRON and WLFI join hands to reshape the global financial landscape
The creation of USD1 is not only a technical breakthrough, but also the result of the in-depth cooperation between TRON and WLFI. At the TOKEN 2049 Summit in Dubai in May 2025, Justin Sun, Eric Trump and WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff jointly announced that USD1 will be natively deployed on the TRON chain, marking a new stage in the integration of decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance. Eric Trump emphasized: TRONs technical strength and user base provide a perfect platform for the promotion of USD1, which will promote the globalization of financial freedom.
The successful minting of USD1 not only demonstrates TRONs leadership in the blockchain industry, but also brings more efficient and transparent financial services to global users. TRON said that in the future, it will be committed to promoting the widespread use of USD1 among global merchants, and by connecting with regional payment systems, explore its potential as a stable value carrier, and inject new vitality into financial inclusion in emerging markets. With the gradual implementation of USD1 in the TRON ecosystem, TRON is accelerating towards the goal of Global Financial Free Port and providing unlimited possibilities for inclusive finance for 8 billion people.
