However, in a positive development, Tron founder Justin Sun announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Gas Free for Tether’s USDT stablecoin will be launched on Tron over the next week.

This update, which has been in the works since at least mid-2024, will allow USDT transactions to be made without the need to use the native Tron token (TRX) to cover fees (gas).

This initiative is intended to promote greater ease of use and lower barriers to entry for new users.

Tron’s stablecoin activity has made it a dominant force in the stablecoin space, surpassing blockchains such as Ethereum.

Sun also noted that the commission-free model could eventually spread to Ethereum and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible networks.
