With $23B minted this year, Tron is seeing its strongest USDT momentum since 2021.
Key Takeaways

Tron has minted an additional $1 billion in Tether [USDT], just days after its Nasdaq debut and SEC filing for a $1B hybrid securities offering.
Tron [TRX] has just minted an additional $1 billion in Tether [USDT] — its largest issuance to date — mere days after marking two major milestones: a Nasdaq listing and the filing of a $1 billion hybrid securities offering with the U.S. SEC.
As regulatory scrutiny on stablecoins intensifies, this development may hint at Tron’s deeper ambitions.
Tron’s latest $1B issuance is dormant… for now
According to crypto analyst Darkfost, Tron’s newest $1 billion USDT mint isn’t business as usual.
While the network has added $22 billion in USDT since the start of 2025, this latest mint — bringing the yearly total to $23 billion — has not been officially issued on-chain.
Instead, the funds sit in a multisig wallet, with no transaction fees paid. It may be an inventory replenishment authorized by Tether, but not yet in circulation.
As such, the mint doesn’t appear in on-chain supply metrics, possibly for strategic positioning rather than immediate deployment.
TradFi moves mirror on-chain action
What sets this mint apart may be its striking alignment with Tron’s recent push into TradFi.
Just days after Tron Inc.’s listing on Nasdaq, founder Justin Sun announced the filing of an S-3 form with the SEC — seeking approval for a $1 billion hybrid securities offering.
The identical value of both the mint and the filing — this isn’t a coincidence. It is a hint for future moves: a well-placed bridge between stablecoins and regulated financial instruments.
This could position Tron at the front of a new model for crypto-capital markets integration.

This aligns with the $1 billion USDT mint and recent TradFi moves—suggesting strategic positioning by large players anticipating capital flows.
TRX spot prices climbed from below $0.25 in May to over $0.32, supported by rising Price & Volume across all exchanges.
That uptick, paired with growing whale activity, hints at institutional interest and potential capital deployment once the minted USDT enters circulation.
