Stablecoins are quickly becoming the backbone of global crypto payments — and infrastructure providers are racing to make them easier to use everywhere.



WalletConnect has announced full support for the TRON DAO network, extending WalletConnect’s reach into one of the world’s largest stablecoin and payment ecosystems. The integration connects 600+ WalletConnect-enabled wallets and 70,000+ dApps directly to TRON, significantly expanding access to fast, low-cost stablecoin transfers and onchain applications.

With TRON now live across WalletConnect, users can send and receive TRC-20 stablecoins from any supported wallet, while developers gain instant access to TRON’s DeFi, NFT, and GameFi ecosystem — without additional integration work.

Turning Stablecoins Into a Global Payment Rail

The move reinforces a broader shift underway in crypto: stablecoins are no longer niche trading tools — they’re becoming everyday payment infrastructure.
“Stablecoins are proving they can move money faster and more efficiently than traditional payment rails. The next step is making them universally accessible. Adding TRON expands the global stablecoin rails available to our ecosystem and strengthens everyday payment adoption.”

Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect
For wallets, custodians, and fintech apps already using WalletConnect, TRON support comes automatically. Platforms like Fireblocks and Trust Wallet can now offer TRON-based payments and transfers without building custom integrations, accelerating time to market for global payment features.

From DeFi to Point-of-Sale

The integration also builds on WalletConnect’s push into real-world commerce. Earlier this year, Ingenico announced support for WalletConnect Pay, enabling stablecoin payments across 40+ million point-of-sale terminals worldwide — one of the largest crypto-to-retail expansions to date.

By adding TRON, WalletConnect extends that reach to a network already optimized for high-volume, low-cost stablecoin settlement.

Why TRON Matters

TRON has emerged as the dominant settlement layer for USDT, processing an estimated $7.9 trillion in USDT transfer volume in 2025 alone. The network is widely used for P2P transfers, remittances, merchant settlement, exchange payouts, and everyday “digital cash” transactions — particularly across emerging markets.
“Stablecoins have reached real mainstream use. TRON was built to operate at scale, and integrations like WalletConnect help bring that scale directly into the wallets and applications people use for everyday payments.”

Justin Sun, Founder of TRON
As of January 2026, TRON has recorded 359M+ user accounts, 12B+ total transactions, and $25B+ in TVL, reinforcing its role as a high-throughput, globally accessible payment network.

Live Across Major Wallets and Apps

WalletConnect’s TRON support is already live across leading wallets and applications, including Trust Wallet, Binance Web3 Wallet, and SafePal, alongside DeFi and interoperability platforms such as Sun.io, JustLend, Bridgers, Symbiosis Finance, and deBridge.

Together, the integration brings TRON’s stablecoin liquidity and scale directly into the wallets and apps millions of users already rely on — removing friction between crypto payments, DeFi access, and real-world usage.
