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!”
