TRON DAO has emerged as a prominent player in the crypto payments arena, gaining ground as virtual assets gain traction in emerging economies, according to the Messari Report: Crypto Theses for 2024. The report highlights a significant trend where an increasing number of individuals in developing nations are turning to USDT on TRON DAO, leveraging its capabilities as both a store of value and a reliable payment method.
The Messari report indicates that almost 40% of the demand for USDT is fueled by its role as a stable store of value and a trustworthy payment option, particularly in developing economies. This shift signifies a move toward more inclusive payment opportunities and stability in the crypto landscape.
The report also emphasizes that TRON DAO is at the forefront of the global transition toward digital payment adoption, attributing its success to a robust structure and enhanced accessibility. The platform has already surpassed 6 billion transactions and boasts a user base of 200 million.
"Blockchain technology will play a significant role in shaping the future, and the commitment of the TRON DAO will contribute to a more inclusive and efficient global system."
Dave Uhryniak, Ecosystem Lead of TRON DAO
The Messari report further highlights the migration of users from traditional stablecoins like USDC to USDT on TRON DAO. This shift is attributed to the protocol's efficiency, lower costs, and faster transaction speeds.
TRON, a permission-less blockchain protocol akin to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, transitioned to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) model in December 2021. In November of the same year, it adopted an 'apolitical' stance, emphasizing adherence to all regulatory frameworks and government procedures.

In response to the loss of peg by the USDD stablecoin last year, TRON DAO injected $700 million to support the stablecoin. In February 2022, TRON DAO collaborated with BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) to launch the TRON Grand Hackathon, providing a platform for community members to engage, create threads, and more.
At the time of writing, the price of TRON (TRX) is $0.1059, reflecting a marginal increase of 0.4% in the last 24 hours. However, the token has witnessed a notable rally of more than 95% year-to-date (YTD), aligning with the broader positive sentiment around cryptocurrencies in the current year.
