TRON Bucks Market Trend with USDT Surge and Strengthened Resilience

As the broader cryptocurrency market dipped 2.7% in the past 24 hours, TRON (TRX) defied the trend with a 0.6% gain, trading at $0.2788. Zooming out to a weekly perspective, TRX has risen 2.4%, outperforming most major assets during a period of general market stagnation.

This exceptional performance has drawn attention from on-chain analysts examining deeper trends in the TRON ecosystem. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost notes that TRON's long-term price behavior demonstrates growing resilience and reduced volatility exposure.

In an analysis titled 'TRX Drawdowns Highlight Growing Resilience,' Darkfost identified four significant price corrections since 2020—61% (March 2020), 70% (June 2021), 55% (January 2022), and 40% (January 2025)—each followed by substantial recoveries. The decreasing severity of these drawdowns suggests strengthening investor confidence and capital retention within the TRON network.

Meanwhile, TRON continues to dominate stablecoin settlement, with CryptoQuant's Maartunn reporting a record $23.4 billion in daily USDT transfers on June 25, 2025—significantly outperforming Ethereum's $9.9 billion on the same date. Since mid-2022, TRON has consistently processed higher USDT volumes than Ethereum, with the gap continuing to widen.

While Ethereum's USDT activity has declined approximately 39% from its November 2024 peak, TRON maintains an upward trajectory, solidifying its position as the preferred settlement layer for Tether transactions.
