Tron Dethrones Ethereum and Solana in Key DeFi Metric

Tron has recorded the highest network fees in both daily and monthly data.

Latest data shows when and how the chain moved ahead of Ethereum and Solana as stablecoin activity and user operations continued to grow across the network.

Tron Leads in Fee Generation

CryptoRank.io reported that Tron was the only chain with over $1 million in fees in the last 24 hours.

The data aggregator stated that Tron outpaced Solana and Ethereum, which generated about $0.61 million and $0.48 million, respectively.

Another detailed breakdown showed that Tron clocked around $964,017 in 24-hour fees, with Ethereum at about $873,084 and Solana at about $604,558.

A separate chart placed Tron at about $1.04 million for that period.

Monthly data showed the same trend. Tron reached about $32.75 million in fees over 30 days.

A summary from CryptoRank.io placed the figure at about $33 million. Ethereum stood at $25.24 million over the same period.

Meanwhile, Solana produced about $23.11 million in fees. The gap between the networks remained consistent across the reporting windows.

Stablecoin activity shaped most of these results. Nearly 90% of Tron’s fees came from USDT transfers.

High-volume users relied on the chain for payment and transfer needs because fees stayed predictable and settlement remained quick.

This pattern showed how stablecoin usage supported the chain’s fee totals. The fee lead did not reflect market prices or total value locked. It reflected transaction activity and user behavior.

Many users moved funds across the network for payments, remittances, and routine transfers. These actions ensured steady fee generation despite the chain’s low base cost.

Basically, the combination of daily and monthly results pointed to consistent network traffic. Stablecoin holders continued to choose Tron for regular transfers.

This activity helped the chain maintain its fee position even as conditions shifted across the wider market.

Adoption Metrics Teases High User Participation

Tron recorded 3.43 million daily active accounts on average over the past month.

This level of activity showed a large base of regular users who relied on the network each day.

Additionally, growth in participation stood out when compared with earlier numbers. Daily active accounts rose by 44.39% in October 2025 relative to September.

The rise reflected a broader movement across transfers and on-chain tasks.

Many users continued to send stablecoins for savings, payments, and routine needs. New users also joined as they found the network simple and inexpensive to use.

The increase in accounts supported the chain’s overall traffic. Transfers moved through without delays.

Meanwhile, costs remained low even during high-volume periods. These conditions encouraged more users to shift their stablecoin activity to the chain.

Stablecoins such as USDT, USDD, and USDJ formed the base of this movement.

They circulated throughout the network as users carried out straightforward financial tasks.

These assets generated ongoing activity, which lifted the chain’s fee totals and kept the network busy throughout the month.

TRX Price Amid Market Slowdown

TRX traded near $0.2785 at the time of writing as the coin fell about 1.75% during the last 24 hours.

Market capitalization stood at about $26.36 billion while trading volume reached roughly $848.551 million.

Circulating supply matched total supply at about 94.67 billion TRX. The broader market moved through a slow period, which kept price action narrow.

On-chain activity did not result in a sharp price change. However, steady usage often supported long-term interest.

Fee levels and adoption data showed that users continued to rely on the network even in a quiet market.

More importantly, the combination of strong user participation, high stablecoin movement, and leading fee totals placed Tron at the front of several core network metrics.
