- Tron has become the primary settlement layer for a large share of the world's USDT, processing roughly $150 billion to $190 billion of stablecoin transfers per week.
- Tron originally launched as a content-distribution project before pivoting into its current role as a major blockchain settlement network.
- Josh Olszewicz of Canary Capital breaks down the network's economics and explains what stablecoin settlement means on the chain.
Why it matters: Tron's $150–190 billion weekly throughput means it now carries a significant share of global stablecoin settlement, making its network economics — fees, validator incentives, and congestion costs — a material factor for the issuers, holders, and traders moving USDT across borders.
