Gasless USDT transfers, cross-chain liquidity services and AI-powered payment infrastructure are driving new activity across the TRON ecosystem, according to a new report from CryptoQuant.

The report said GasFree, a payment mechanism on TRON that enables on-chain fees to be deducted directly from transferred tokens instead of requiring TRX, is seen as a key driver of growing USDT transfer volumes on TRON.

The model has seen rapid adoption, with weekly transfer volume rising to $2.9 billion by the end of June from virtually zero in early 2025. Activity peaked at a record $3 billion during the first week of May 2026, surpassing the previous weekly high of $1.9 billion recorded last year.

CryptoQuant also pointed to growing enterprise demand for TRON-based liquidity. Rhino.fi, which connects liquidity across more than 30 blockchain networks, uses TRON USDT in its Wirex integration to provide near-instant spendable balances, completing transactions in under 10 seconds.

According to the report, weekly USDT volume originating from TRON has increased from approximately $1 million to a record $48 million, while average transaction sizes have grown to $24,000, suggesting increasing business and institutional adoption.

Meanwhile, AI-focused payment infrastructure is beginning to gain traction. Providers including B.AI, MERX, Oobit and dTelecom are integrating x402-based payment rails supported by USDT liquidity, with B.AI’s deposit activity accelerating since April 2026 as early adoption builds.
