TRON minted USD1, opening a new chapter in the stablecoin ecosystem

A few days ago, the TRON blockchain ushered in a historic moment: the first batch of 1,000 USD1 stablecoins was successfully minted on the chain. This milestone not only marks a new breakthrough for TRON in the stablecoin field, but also indicates that its strategic position as a global financial infrastructure has been further strengthened. Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, 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, retweeted Justin Sun's post, thanking the TRON ecosystem for its support of USD1, highlighting the significance of this partnership.

USD1 minting opened, TRON leads a new era of stablecoinsAs

the world's largest stablecoin settlement ecosystem, TRON has long become the preferred network for USDT and other stablecoins with its million-level transaction throughput (TPS) per second, low transaction fees and ultra-high block confirmation speed.

According to CryptoQuant's 2024 report, the average number of USDT transfers per day on the TRON network is as high as 2 million. As of June 2025, TRC20-USDT has exceeded $78 billion in circulation, occupying the core position of the global stablecoin market. The first batch of USD1 minting further enriches TRON's stablecoin matrix, covering USDT, USDD, USDJ, etc., and the total circulation of stablecoins on the chain has reached nearly 80 billion US dollars, ranking among the top public chains in the world.

USD1, a USD stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), is backed 1:1 by short-term Treasuries and cash equivalents, combined with BitGo Trust Company's reserve custody and monthly third-party audits to ensure its transparency and compliance. The 1,000 USD1 minted on the TRON chain marks the official integration of USD1 into the TRON ecosystem.

According to market analysts, USD1's choice of TRON as a new battlefield stems from its natural advantages in payment, settlement and trading scenarios. Compared to the $47.67 million USD1 supply on Ethereum and the $2.141 billion on BNB Chain (of which $2 billion is driven by the MGX sovereign fund), TRON's 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" of stablecoin transfers by the end of 2025 through smart contract optimisation, further consolidating its competitiveness in the global payment field. "The minting of USD1 is an important step in TRON's promotion of financial freedom, and our goal is to make it easy for everyone to participate in the global financial system by using stablecoins through their mobile phones," Sun said. "

TRON and WLFI join hands to reshape the global financial landscape

, and the minting of USD1 is not only a technological breakthrough, but also the result of 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 decentralised finance (DeFi) and traditional finance. Eric Trump emphasised: "TRON's technical prowess and user base provide the perfect platform for the promotion of USD1, which will drive the globalisation of financial freedom. "

The successful minting of USD1 not only demonstrates TRON's leadership in the blockchain industry, but also brings more efficient and transparent financial services to users around the world. TRON said that in the future, it will be committed to promoting the wide application of USD1 among global merchants, exploring its potential as a stable value carrier through docking with regional payment systems, and injecting 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 becoming a "global financial free port", providing 8 billion people with unlimited possibilities for inclusive finance.
