Tron (TRX) has experienced positive price action recently, aligning with the upward trend seen across the broader cryptocurrency market. In the past 24 hours, TRX climbed approximately 3.9%, reaching a trading value of $0.294.
Despite these recent gains, Tron remains significantly below its all-time high of $0.43, set in December 2024, representing roughly a 31.8% decrease from that peak.
This upward trajectory coincides with notable stablecoin activity on the Tron network, particularly involving Tether’s USDT token. Recently, a substantial minting event involving USDT occurred, signaling increased liquidity and potential market demand.
Significant USDT Minting Event on Tron
Amr Taha, an analyst from CryptoQuant’s QuickTake Platform, highlighted a significant event occurring on the Tron blockchain involving Tether’s stablecoin, USDT.
According to Taha’s report titled “Tether Treasury mints $1 billion USDT on TRON prior to Bitcoin reaching $110,000,” the Tether Treasury recently issued 1 billion new USDT tokens on the Tron blockchain on June 9, 2025.

This mint represents the largest single issuance of USDT on Tron for the month so far, emphasizing the network’s increasing relevance for stablecoin transactions.
Taha noted that two primary factors likely drove this sizable minting event. First, it points toward elevated market demand for stablecoins, particularly within Tron’s ecosystem, known for low transaction fees and high-speed transfers.
Second, the minting could signal significant institutional activity or preparations for substantial over-the-counter (OTC) crypto trades. Historically, such minting events tend to precede increased trading activity as investors leverage newly injected liquidity into the markets.
The introduction of additional stablecoin liquidity typically boosts overall cryptocurrency market conditions, potentially providing support during periods when traditional financial markets are less robust.
Divergent Trends: Rising TRX Price and Declining TVL
Meanwhile, separate on-chain analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Joao Wedson noted a sharp decrease of nearly $2 billion in the total value locked (TVL) within lending protocols on Tron.

This recent drop in TVL contrasts notably with the rising price of TRX, marking a divergence that raises intriguing questions for investors.
Wedson pointed out that historically, reduced TVL in lending platforms on Tron has correlated with upward price movements for TRX, as previously observed in early 2024.
However, the current scenario, where TRX’s value continues to climb despite significant reductions in lending protocol engagement, may hint at underlying shifts in investor strategies or possible structural changes within the network’s financial ecosystem.
