Justin Sun, founder of Tron (TRX), has predicted a better performance for the network in 2026. Sun believes the Tron network will outperform its 2025 performance in 2026, catalyzed by the mainstream adoption of stablecoins, digital assets, and Web3 protocols.
According to Sun, 2026 will be a better year for the Tron network due to its cumulative strong fundamentals. Sun reposted a Messari report on X that showed palpable growth of the Tron network in 2025.
According to the report, the Tron network broke the $1 billion revenue mark in a single quarter for the first time since its inception and is up by 22.7% year over year (YoY).
The Tron network closed 2025 with a total stablecoin supply of $81.8 billion, of which nearly $81 billion was Tether’s USDT. Furthermore, the average daily USDT transfer volume surged by 4.9% quarter over quarter to $23.8 billion.

The report noted that the Tron ecosystem recorded impressive growth in 2025, catalyzed by its adoption by major institutional and cross-chain integrations. For instance, Ledger Live introduced TRX staking, and the coin was also launched on the Base chain. Additionally, USDT on Tron was cleared by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) for mainstream use.
Meanwhile, SunPerp achieved more than $25 billion in total trading volume, which also contributed to the chain’s revenue. However, the report noted that Tron’s DeFi total value locked decreased QoQ to close the year around $4.4 billion.
The decline in Tron’s DeFi TVL was largely attributed to JustLend’s 25.4% decline in QoQ from $5 billion to $3.7 billion. Nevertheless, the daily new addresses on the Tron network surged by 13% to 222,818.

The Tron network is well-positioned to grow in 2026, catalyzed by rising institutional investor demand and global regulatory clarity. The ongoing implementation of the GENIUS Act amid the potential passage of the CLARITY Act is a major trigger for Tron’s growth in 2026.
