Privy Expands TRON Support as Binance Wallet Enables USDT Gas Payments

Infrastructure and Developer Tools

Privy expanded support for TRON, adding capabilities that let developers build and manage wallets, enable on-ramp and off-ramp flows, and embed stablecoin-powered applications, according to @trondao (Sep 23, 16:41 UTC). Developers can use the platform's embedded wallet interface to onboard users, manage TRON-based wallets, and integrate fiat-to-blockchain conversion for USDT and other tokens on the network, @trondao stated (Sep 23, 17:15 UTC). The announcement highlighted increased flexibility for building financial applications that operate at scale on TRON's infrastructure.

Binance Wallet added support for paying TRON network fees in USDT, letting users transfer TRC-20 tokens without holding TRX for gas, @justinsuntron noted (Sep 23, 13:04 UTC). The feature applies to eligible USDT transfers on TRON through Binance Wallet, with limited spots available between September 23 and December 22, @DeFi_JUST reported (Sep 23, 11:05 UTC). A user sending JST or other TRC-20 tokens can select USDT as the network fee payer, removing the requirement to maintain a TRX balance for transaction costs, per @DeFi_JUST (Sep 23, 11:11 UTC).

DeFi and Network Activity

GasFree processed 201,320 transfers totaling $3.51 billion over the past seven days, with 10,055 first-time users, @DeFi_JUST stated (Sep 23, 04:00 UTC). The service supports USDT and USDD transfers without requiring TRX holdings. JustLend DAO reached 485,000-plus users with more than $239 million in grants distributed, according to a snapshot shared by @DeFi_JUST (Sep 23, 06:59 UTC). Weekly transactions on TRON approached 100 million, @trondao reported (Sep 23, 20:30 UTC), citing a CoinDesk analysis of network activity and the blockchain's role in global stablecoin settlement.

Policy Engagement

TRON participated as a Gold Sponsor at CoinDesk's Policy & Regulation 2026 event in Washington, D.C., @trondao announced (Sep 23, 18:15 UTC). John O. Hurston, U.S. General Counsel at TRON, joined a panel discussion on monitoring illicit finance alongside representatives from Digital Sustainability Alliance, Fenwick & West, and Chainalysis, per @trondaoCN (Sep 23, 06:43 UTC). The event addressed digital asset regulation, transparency, on-chain analytics, and collaboration between public and private sectors, @trondao stated (Sep 23, 18:15 UTC).

Market Access and Treasury

Canary Staked TRX ETF is live on Public, expanding exchange-traded access to TRX through participating brokerages, @trondaoCN stated (Sep 23, 03:32 UTC). @justinsuntron confirmed the listing on Public (Sep 23, 04:32 UTC). Tron Inc. acquired 144,471 TRX at an average price of $0.3461, bringing total holdings to more than 715.6 million TRX, @TRON_INC reported (Sep 23, 01:55 UTC).

DeFi Integrations

SunSwap announced a strategic integration with AveAI Global, with the latter natively integrating SunSwap's core liquidity architecture and smart routing engine, @OfficialSUNio stated (Sep 23, 07:47 UTC). The integration gives AveAI users access to SunSwap's liquidity infrastructure on TRON.

TRON Improvement Proposals

An outside commenter asked whether matching factory addresses alone is sufficient for singleton contract deployment on TRON, or whether EIP-1014-compatible CREATE2 derivation should be an explicit requirement, noting that TRON's CREATE2 preimage uses a different prefix than Ethereum (Sep 23, 18:26 UTC). The comment was posted to issue #936 proposing native singleton predeployments. https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/936#issuecomment-5800533080

An outside commenter supported the stepwise closure design in issue #937 for retiring Bancor trading, noting that level 1 preserves ExchangeWithdraw while closing new creation and trading paths, then asked whether the TIP should define a minimum notice period or monitoring criterion before moving from level 1 to level 2, giving pool creators a withdrawal window (Sep 23, 03:31 UTC). https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/937#issuecomment-5788490117

Two comments addressed signature validation in issue #935. An outside commenter provided mainnet data quantifying the compatibility impact, stating that 0.5224% of transactions in a 10.5 million block scan used signatures longer than 65 bytes, with 68-byte signatures accounting for 99.963% of the longer encodings (Sep 23, 09:49 UTC). https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/935#issuecomment-5792658228 A second outside commenter stated that the proposed fixtures address previously raised scenarios, suggested recording acceptance conditions for branch-correct handling and deployment evidence, and supported proceeding with the hardening while requesting clarifications on preliminary validation, recent compatibility measurements, and auxiliary API enforcement timing (Sep 23, 11:24 UTC). https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/935#issuecomment-5793948331
