network has leapfrogged competitors in active address counts, hitting 2.53 million users on September 1, according to DeFiLlama data. In comparison, Binanceโs BNB Chain recorded 2.4 million, while Solana trailed slightly at 2.2 million at press time.
The user-base milestone follows Tronโs community-approved 60% network fee cut, which went into effect last Friday, after the native coin TRX price rose 115% over the past year, driving up transaction costs.

Founder Justin Sun had explained that the move was designed to preserve accessibility, particularly in stablecoin transfers, where Tron dominates global activity. Currently, Tron hosts more than $81 billion inย Tetherโs USDT, accounting for nearly 50% of the worldโs largest stablecoinโs $172 billion circulating supply.
Tron Ranks Below Solana in Revenues as 60% Fee Cut Takes Effect
While Tronโs user base is rising as anticipated, the 60% fee cut raises major questions for revenue generation. In a statement last week, Sun acknowledged that lower fees may reduce revenues in the short term, but stressed that stimulating adoption and growing transaction volumes would ultimately strengthen Tronโs long-term profitability.
At the time of writing, Tronโs 24-hour fees totaled $810,330, placing it below Solanaโs $1 million daily revenue, despite Tronโs higher 2.5 million active addresses versus Solanaโs 2.19 million. The disparity emphasizes the trade-off between user growth and fee-based returns for stakers and network validators holding TRX.
Excited to share my thoughts on $WLFI โ I truly believe this will be one of the biggest and most important projects in crypto. ๐ฆ
We have no plans to sell our unlocked tokens anytime soon. The long-term vision here is too powerful, and Iโm fully aligned with the mission.โฆ

In other developments on Monday, Sun expressed support for the launch of the Trump-backed WLFI token, a $30 billion rollout listed on Bybit, Coinbase, and Binance. He pledged that Tron would not sell its unlocked WLFI holdings, signaling confidence in its strategic positioning across the broader crypto ecosystem.
At the same time, he announced Tron would increase USD1 stablecoin liquidity to $200 million. It remains to be seen if this USD1 liquidity boost and long-term WLFI partnership further deepen Tronโs multi-chain stablecoin traction enough to offset the impact of the short-term revenue dip as depicted by the revenue gap with Solana.
