Key Insights:
- Tron leads Solana and BNB Chain with monthly transaction fees of $29.63 million.
- Tron dominates other blockchains in USDT adoption due to its low transaction costs and simple technology.
- Revolut inks a partnership with Tron to enable 65 million global customers to stake TRX directly on the platform.
Tron (TRX) experienced a spike in transaction fees, surpassing Solana (SOL) and the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). While Tron becomes the most profitable decentralized finance (DeFi) chain, it has also solidified its position as a stablecoin powerhouse.
Tron Leads in Monthly Revenue
Data from DeFiLlama showed a spike in onchain transaction fees this week. According to the details, Tron surpassed other blockchains in terms of network revenue.
The income generated by the blockchain network from transaction fees paid by users flipped those of Solana and BSC.
Within the past 24 hours, Tron accumulated total revenues of $1.12 million. This pushed the monthly generated income to $29.63 million.
Solana came second with 24-hour revenues of $542,314 and monthly fees of $18.21 million. Following behind is BSC with daily and monthly transaction fees of $454,140 and $13.24 million, respectively.
The huge revenue gap between these crypto assets signaled the strong ecosystem activities that occurred on the Tron network.
This suggests several users, developers, and decentralized applications (dApps) prefer operating on Tron compared to others.
Accordingly, the Tron blockchain saw high usage and demand for TRX, which led to a surge in network revenue.
It is important to note that the recent attention to Tron followed the drop in the price of Bitcoin (BTC).
TRX experienced the highest dominance among the top cryptocurrencies, while the BTC dominance declined. In the first week of November, TRX dominance jumped from a weekly low of 0.76% to 0.81%.
Tron Positions as a Stablecoin Powerhouse
In addition to Tron rising to become the most profitable DeFi chain, the blockchain continues to demonstrate its strength as a stablecoin powerhouse.
DeFi research known as SeniorDeFi on X emphasized that Tron is the leading network for stablecoin transaction volume.
Rather than focusing on complex financial protocols, Tron has carved out a niche as the top network for handling stablecoin transactions globally.
This dominance stems primarily from the massive adoption of Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin.
Data from DeFiLlama shows Tron hosts more than half of its total supply, exceeding $80 billion as of December 2025.
Notably, in late October, the number of daily active addresses on Tron climbed to 5.7 million, amid growing stablecoin activity. This surpassed the previous day’s record of 5.4 million.
At its core, Tron stands out for its simplicity and low transaction costs. This makes it ideal for individuals in developing regions facing inflation or currency instability.
Additionally, Tron has consistently maintained a high Total Value Locked (TVL) and daily transaction count.
This consistency positions the blockchain as a robust backbone for remittances and payment rails for financial inclusion in underserved areas.
Revolut Integrates with Tron for In-App TRX Staking
In a related development, Tron has announced a new partnership with Revolut, a fintech company in Europe. Revolut is one of the largest fintech platforms in Europe with over 65 million global customers.
Through the partnership with Tron, Revolut users can now stake TRX directly within the Revolut app.
Revolut charges 0% platform fee on staking rewards. However, a small on-chain validator fee may apply via third-party validators.
Also, the integration leverages Tron’s dominance in stablecoin volume. Revolut users receive fast, low-cost cross-border remittances using Tron-based stablecoins, with near-instant settlement and minimal fees.
Furthermore, Revolut enables seamless, spread-free conversions between traditional currencies and stablecoins on the Tron blockchain.
This makes it easier for the platform users to move between banking and crypto without hidden costs or delays.
This partnership is a major validation of TRON as a stablecoin powerhouse and practical payment rail, contributing to the revenue surge.
