TRON nears 400M accounts as network upgrade proposal targets Aug 25 mainnet vote
Drafted with AI, reviewed and published by a human editor.
Total accounts on TRON stand within reach of 400 million, @justinsuntron remarked, inviting speculation about who the 400 millionth user might be (Aug 19, 04:22 UTC). Network usage across payment, DeFi, and application layers continues driving the approaching milestone.
Network Upgrades
A mainnet proposal to activate network parameters 95 and 96 is planned for August 25, enabling Prague and Osaka features introduced in GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho), @trondao announced (Aug 19, 10:08 UTC). The upgrade targets improved compatibility, security, and more consistent execution across the network, the account added later (Aug 19, 17:45 UTC).
Infrastructure and Payments
TRON is now supported through Paxos Crypto Brokerage, @trondao stated, describing the move as another step toward broader institutional access to the ecosystem (Aug 19, 20:55 UTC). Stablecoin card top-up volume crossed $1 billion in July, with TRON accounting for more than $311 million of that activity, the account noted, calling it another sign of stablecoins becoming increasingly embedded in everyday payments (Aug 19, 18:42 UTC).
Cross-chain access to USDT on TRON is available through a single command via Eco, @trondao reported (Aug 19, 16:40 UTC). Analysis from @obchakevich_ indicated that TRON held a 52 percent share of USDT transfers below $1,000 during Q2 among USDT native issuance networks, and that TRON market share in payment card settlements rose to 34 percent, @trondaoCN relayed (Aug 19, 08:13 UTC).
DeFi Activity
The U Market on JustLend DAO reached nearly 5 million U in liquidity with an 80 percent Collateral Factor, @DeFi_JUST announced, noting that U can now be supplied, used as collateral, and put to work (Aug 19, 04:00 UTC). JustLend DAO adoption figures show grants power exceeding $237 million and more than 485,000 users, the account added (Aug 19, 06:53 UTC).
SUN.io scheduled a discussion for August 20 exploring whether free access to powerful models will matter more for AI adoption than another major jump in benchmark performance, @OfficialSUNio announced, framing the event around SUN.io making DeepSeek-V4-Flash free (Aug 19, 11:09 UTC).
Treasury
Tron Inc. acquired 149,467 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3345, increasing total treasury holdings to more than 710.5 million TRX, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 19, 02:50 UTC).
Exchange Operations
@justinsuntron and @sunyuchentron each stated that Huobi withdrawal fees were reduced to zero, with both referring to Huobi as "the world's most receptive exchange" (Aug 19, 13:03 UTC and Aug 19, 13:10 UTC). @justinsuntron announced a support group for Huobi users affected by recent issues, stating that Huobi would make every effort to protect user assets (Aug 19, 15:04 UTC).
