Stablecoin Supply and GasFree
Total stablecoin supply on TRON reached approximately $95.3 billion by mid-October, @trondao posted, citing @tokenterminal data and a story from @Crypto_Briefing (Oct 16, 20:05 UTC; post). The same post also repeats the $554.9 million seven-day increase that TronRelic reported on Oct 14.
GasFree has reached 500,871 users, according to @DeFi_JUST. The account describes the service as letting users pay transaction fees directly in USDT instead of keeping TRX on hand for gas (Oct 16, 04:00 UTC; post). The post says the service now covers USDD as well as USDT, and its text, cut off in the feed, adds that Binance Web3 Wallet is "also supporting TRC-20 token".
Treasury and Energy Pricing
Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) bought 150,195 TRX at an average price of $0.3329, which takes its treasury above 719.0 million TRX, per @TRON_INC (Oct 16, 03:02 UTC; post). The company repeated its aim to grow its Tron DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value.
TronRelic covered JustLend DAO's cut to its Energy base rate, from 15% to 8%, on Sep 25, when the quoted price was 4.488 TRX per 100,000 Energy. A new post from @DeFi_JUST now quotes 4.871 TRX per 100,000 Energy, or 48 sun per day, with the base rate still at 8% (Oct 16, 06:59 UTC; post). TronRelic's Energy rental markets page shows how that rate compares with other rental markets.
Workshop and Earlier Themes
The TRON Academy Blockchain Workshop in Cambridge was due to start within the hour, @trondao posted (Oct 16, 16:00 UTC; post). Later, the same account shared @BSCNews coverage of TRON's Q3 2026 figures: $2.21 trillion in stablecoin settlement volume, 18 million monthly active addresses and 1.1 billion transactions (Oct 16, 21:16 UTC; post).
Earlier TronRelic posts already covered the Q3 report and the Justin Sun Prize, and the Oct 16 posts restated both without moving either one forward. @justinsuntron quoted the Q3 data with "A sTRONg Q3. Tens of billions in USDT moving on TRON every day" (Oct 16, 07:29 UTC; post), and @trondaoCN repeated in Chinese the quarter's $24 billion in average daily USDT transfers and 12 million daily transactions (Oct 16, 11:39 UTC; post). On the prize, @trondao wrote "Mathematics is at the core of TRON" (Oct 16, 01:57 UTC; post). @justinsuntron called the prize "one way to give back" (Oct 16, 09:30 UTC; post), and @sunyuchentron wrote in Chinese that wealth comes from mathematics and should return to it (Oct 16, 11:02 UTC; post).
