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).
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).
