TRON says H1 2026 USDT use on its network broke $90 billion

The report attributes the jump to TRON’s stablecoin settlement upgrades and a push into Web3 AI products during the first half of 2026.

CryptoSlate reports that in the first half of 2026, TRON said its stablecoin infrastructure helped it outperform broader, macro-driven crypto market stagnation.

According to the report, TRON increased circulating USDT on its network, pushing it through $90 billion and setting consecutive all time highs as it moves toward a $100 billion milestone, even as global USDT market cap held relatively flat.

CryptoSlate also ties TRON’s momentum to continued expansion of its stablecoin settlement layer and upgrades to core DeFi asset value, describing the network as a low cost, capital efficient liquidity engine for applications building on the layer.

The report further states TRON pursued a dual track strategy in H1 2026, combining DeFi efforts like buyback and burn mechanics with a rollout of Web3 AI products, including unified multi model access, AI agent infrastructure, and distributed compute networks.
