Tron network founder Justin Sun predicts growth in 2026. He believes the blockchain will surpass 2025 levels this year thanks to the widespread adoption of stablecoins, digital assets, and Web3 protocols.

Sun believes 2026 will be a more successful year for Tron thanks to strong fundamentals. He reposted a Messari report showing significant network growth last year.

According to the report, Tron's quarterly revenue exceeded $1 billion in 2025 for the first time since its inception, representing a 22% year-over-year increase. The network ended the year with a total stablecoin supply of $81.8 billion, of which nearly $81 billion was Tether's USDT. This impressive growth is due, in part, to adoption by major institutional investors and cross-chain integrations. For example, Ledger Live added TRX staking, and TRX was launched on the Base network. Furthermore, USDT on Tron was approved for widespread use by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

At the same time, the total value locked (TVL) of DeFi on Tron decreased to $4.4 billion by the end of the year. However, the number of new addresses on the network increased by 13% to 222,818.
