Tron network revenue exceeds Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana in Q3

 The Tron network (TRX) generated the highest revenue in the third quarter since its inception, outperforming leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).

Tron posts highest quarterly revenue ever

TronScan data shows that Tron generated a total revenue of $577.25 million in the third quarter, the highest since the protocol’s inception. This represents a 43% increase compared to Q2.

The 74% of the revenue was derived from staking, while the remaining 26% came from burn mechanisms. The success of TRON’s memecoin platform, Sun pump meme, has also contributed to this performance, adding $8.4 million since its launch.

Growth in revenue and fees has also been attributed primarily to the booming activity in stablecoins, with TRON now commanding over 34% of the stablecoin market, which amounts to $60 billion, according to DefiLlama.

Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, tweeted, “We are confident that Q4 will see even more growth compared to Q3!”
