TRON has officially crossed a major blockchain milestone: 10 billion total transactions since its launch in June 2018. This surge in usage reflects the network’s growing dominance in daily activity, decentralized finance (DeFi), and stablecoin infrastructure—all while TRX eyes a breakout past a key resistance level at $0.25.
Daily Transaction Volume Highlights Network Strength
According to a May 1 analysis from CryptoQuant contributor Maartun, TRON now processes around 8.4 million transactions daily. While usage peaked during the bull markets of 2021 and 2023, current on-chain activity has climbed steadily, often flying under the radar of investors.
Maartun emphasized that such sustained traffic points to strong user engagement and serves as a bullish indicator often ignored in mainstream narratives.
TRON’s DeFi Activity Rebounds with Record DEX Volume
TRON’s total value locked (TVL) in DeFi stands at $5.03 billion, according to DeFiLlama. While this figure remains below the $7 billion seen at the start of the year, it marks a steady recovery trend.
The platform’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume reached its highest monthly level of 2025 in April, rising from $3.4 billion in March to $4.9 billion—a 44% increase that highlights growing demand for on-chain trading on the network.
Stablecoin Dominance Expands Rapidly
TRON also continues to dominate in the stablecoin market. The network’s total stablecoin capitalization has grown from $58 billion in January to over $70 billion by late April.
A key driver of this expansion was the minting of $1 billion USDT on April 21, contributing to a $2.17 billion surge in just one week. These figures underscore TRON’s increasingly critical role in stablecoin circulation across blockchain ecosystems.

TRX Price Nears Critical Resistance
TRX currently trades near $0.245, just below the key resistance at $0.25. Technical indicators suggest a bullish structure remains intact, with the price holding above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages.
The relative strength index (RSI) sits at 51, indicating a neutral trend, while the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) shows slight bearish momentum. Most other oscillators appear flat, signaling that the market is awaiting confirmation before making its next move.
If bulls flip $0.25 into support, the next target sits between $0.26 and $0.265, aligned with the upper Bollinger Band. However, a drop below $0.243 could invalidate this setup and trigger a retest of the $0.239–$0.240 support zone.
TRON’s Fundamentals Grow Stronger
Beyond price action, TRON’s underlying fundamentals continue to improve. On April 30, staking platform P2P.org became a Super Representative on the TRON network. This designation enables the validator to participate in block production and institutional staking, thereby enhancing TRON’s security and credibility.
Earlier in April, Canary Capital applied to a spot TRX exchange-traded fund (ETF) featuring staking capabilities. This move reflects increasing interest from traditional financial institutions in TRON’s ecosystem.
Justin Sun Projects TRX All-Time High in Q2
TRON founder Justin Sun remains bullish on the network’s trajectory. He recently predicted that TRX will reach a new all-time market capitalization high in Q2 2025. Sun pointed to the token’s increasing correlation with Bitcoin as evidence of TRON’s maturity and rising relevance in broader market cycles.
