Tron processes $150B-$190B weekly USDT volume as traders union reports
TRON (TRX)

Tradersunion.com reports that Tron is expanding its role as a settlement network for Tether's USDT transfers, processing between $150 billion and $190 billion in weekly stablecoin volume. The blockchain handles approximately 100 million transfers per week with average fees near seven cents, driven by a delegated proof-of-stake mechanism where TRX holders elect Super Representatives. This structure supports fast confirmation times with low computational demands, positioning Tron as a cost-effective channel for digital payments in emerging markets.
U.S. regulatory developments, including the SEC's Crypto Task Force and the GENIUS Act, are shaping the network's future growth by clarifying frameworks for payment stablecoins. These regulations may boost settlement demand but also introduce compliance constraints tied to issuer permissions. The report highlights that Tron's long-term economics depend on transaction growth, technical performance, and evolving U.S. stablecoin rules.
It also references Circle’s strategic investment deal with Binance, where the exchange purchased about $100 million in Circle shares alongside a five-year agreement to promote USDC. Market reaction to that deal was mixed, with some observers questioning whether it signals durable growth or late-cycle behavior.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRX, measured when this story was written up on 23 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for TRX shows a price of $0.3421 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 45.5%, indicating that nearly half of all trades were buys. However, shorter-term pressure has weakened, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 33.3% and the 4-hour ratio falling further to 24.0%. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing negative outflows of -$560,364 in the last hour and -$5,138,373 over four hours. The cumulative volume delta over 24 hours closed at -$3,989,671, confirming net selling pressure. Spot volume reached $57,269,062 with 79,527 trades in the last day. Net buying occurred in only 11 of the last 24 hours, suggesting that selling pressure has intensified in the immediate term.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.7% sits at the 33rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 52.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TRX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 51.9%, meaning today's 24-hour ratio of 45.5% is 6.4 percentage points below the weekly norm. Volume has surged to 2.02 times the weekly average, indicating heightened activity despite the lower buy ratio. While the weekly volume delta was positive at +$1,203,629, the current 24-hour delta is negative, signaling a reversal from the prior week's net buying trend. The price rose 2.8% over eight days, but the recent flow data shows a distinct shift toward selling. This represents an unusual day for the coin, characterized by high volume and a drop in buying dominance compared to the previous week's average.
