Tron has reduced its gas fees by 60% as of September 26, 2025, in a strategic move to enhance user growth and transaction volume amid increasing competition from Layer 2 solutions and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Despite the fee reduction, USDT transfer costs on Tron remain significantly higher compared to networks like Arbitrum, Solana, and Polygon, with fees 15 times higher than Arbitrum and over 3,000 times higher than Polygon. The fee cut has resulted in a substantial decrease in Tron's daily fee revenue, which fell from $13.9 million to $5 million in early September. However, the network has seen a rise in on-chain activity, with increases in daily transactions and active wallets. Tron's strategy focuses on compensating for lower per-transaction revenue through increased transaction volume. Meanwhile, regulatory changes such as the U.S. GENIUS Act and the emergence of CBDCs are reshaping the stablecoin market, presenting new challenges for Tron.
