How Well Did the Tron Network Perform in 2025? CryptoQuant Offers Insights
In 2025, the Tron network demonstrated strong performance with record-high transaction volumes and active addresses, indicating increased user engagement. The strategic decision to cut transaction fees significantly boosted activity, although it led to a decrease in fee revenues. Overall, the ecosystem showed growth in decentralized finance, positioning Tron competitively in the crypto market.
The Tron network performed relatively well in 2025, recording a trend of high throughput and sustained activity. The year also highlighted the network’s scalability, competitiveness in the industry, user retention, and economic utility. Analysts at the market research firm CryptoQuant have published a special report reviewing Tron’s journey over the past year. The publication, shared with CryptoPotato, examines the impact of new developments, such as lower fees and TRX’s growth as a native cryptocurrency.

This indicated a rise in user intensity and deeper engagement beyond simple address growth.

This caused fee revenues to fall, with monthly figures declining from $399 million pre-cut to $183 million in December. Analysts insist the development reflected a strategic trade-off prioritizing throughput and usage over per-transaction revenue. Evaluating the ecosystem as a whole, Tron witnessed an expansion in decentralized finance (DeFi) and liquidity layers. DeFi platforms like SunSwap and JustLend averaged billions of dollars in liquidity. The former sustained a monthly average of $3.1 billion in wrapped TRX (WTRX) swap volume, while the latter’s deposits soared 56% YoY to $12.8 billion.
