The stablecoin highway
TRON has become one of the most used networks for moving the USDT stablecoin because transfers are fast and cheap. Much of its activity is payments and exchange transfers rather than speculation, which gives TRX steady fee demand. Users stake or burn TRX for the bandwidth and energy needed to send transactions.
Concentration risks
TRON is closely associated with its founder Justin Sun, and block production is concentrated among 27 elected Super Representatives, which critics see as a centralisation risk. Changes to stablecoin regulation, the position of USDT in global payments and enforcement actions can affect the network's activity and the TRX price.
