Tron maintains strong user base despite market crisis
Key facts:

The presence of USDT on Tron is key to explaining this behavior.

The Tron network has demonstrated remarkable strength in the face of the crisis affecting the cryptocurrency market, maintaining a solid and active user base.
Since the start of the year, the number of active users has seen steady growth, hovering near all-time highs, despite ongoing uncertainty and widespread selling pressure, analyst CQ Ben said, as cited by analytics firm CryptoQuant.
In the following graph you can see the growth of Tron network users that already reaches 2 million between last January and so far in July.
This positive performance is mainly attributed to the existence of unique and attractive applications that make up the Tron ecosystem, such as payment solutions, stablecoins and real-world assets, Ben explains.
These applications have allowed the network to attract and retain users while other networks struggle to find their place in the market.
A key factor in this success is the presence of USDT, the stablecoin with the largest market capitalization, issued by Tether on the Tron network.

Tether has been instrumental in the resilience of the Tron network, among other things, due to its growing expansion. In the first quarter of 2024, the company reported a record net profit of $4.52 billion, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
