At the same time, fees total $701.4 million during the quarter, averaging $7.62 million per day, down 4.0% from Q2, while the average daily transaction fee declines to $0.643 from $0.668.

TRON expands its institutional and trading links through Anchorage Digital, Bitnomial and Backpack, while Ethena brings USDe and sUSDe to the network and Ducat connects Bitcoin-backed financial infrastructure to TRON's stablecoin ecosystem. The network also adds broader payment, wallet, cross-chain and developer integrations through MoonPay, Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com Wallet, MetaMask-connected applications, Fireblocks Flow, Eco, STON.fi, KiiChain, Privy and OpenZeppelin.

These additions strengthen infrastructure for payments, treasury management and DeFi applications, reinforcing TRON's position in the crypto sector as demand for stablecoin settlement and related digital asset services continues to expand.
