Recent changes in TRON, including a significant fee reduction, have led to its dominance over Ethereum in fee generation.
TRON's Fee Reduction and Its Consequences
TRON has overtaken Ethereum in fee generation after the recent transaction fee reduction announced by Justin Sun and ratified through a governance vote on August 29, 2025. A 60% fee cut aims to boost transaction volume and network activity, solidifying TRON's standing in USDT and other stablecoin transactions.
Surge in TRON User Activity Statistics
Following the fee reduction, TRON's daily active addresses have surpassed 2.5 million, outpacing Ethereum and other competitors. The increased usage of the network promises growth for stablecoin transactions, attracting greater institutional interest.
Long-term Projections for TRON
Price volatility was observed for TRON’s native token, TRX, shortly after the change; however, it suggests increased long-term utility and volume growth. The presence of USDT on TRON, already surpassing $70 billion, reflects a strengthening position in stablecoin markets.
The transaction fee reduction in TRON creates competitive pressure on Ethereum and may have long-term implications for the stablecoin ecosystem.
