TLDR:USDT bridging on TRON has surged 76% in 2025 to $9.9B, with most inflows coming from Ethereum.TRON-to-Ethereum flows remain minimal, with just $2K USDT bridged as of August 2025.Bridgers moved $8.4B through TRON in 2025, becoming the network’s largest bridging project.Daily active bridging addresses on TRON have grown 31x year-over-year, hitting 5,000 in July.Ethereum assets are pouring into TRON this year, and the movement is mostly one-way. The network is acting as a liquidity layer, absorbing funds while sending little back. Bridging volumes and user activity have climbed to record highs, fueled by USDT transfers. Data from CryptoQuant shows that 2025 has already outpaced last year’s growth. Most of the traffic is in one direction: ETH to TRX.The TRON USDT Bridge Activity Surges in 2025USDT bridging on TRON exploded in 2024 and has kept climbing in 2025. According to CryptoQuant, total value bridged this year is up 76%, hitting $9.9 billion compared to $5.6 billion in 2024.TRON is acting as a liquidity layer.Flows are one-way: Ethereum → TRON hit records in 2025, while TRON → Ethereum is tiny.TRON is absorbing the flow. pic.twitter.com/7WoHMNy14r— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) August 12, 2025Nearly all of this activity involves USDT, which makes sense given TRON’s dominance in stablecoin transfers. The network processes the largest share of USDT supply and on-chain transactions across all blockchains.The project “Bridgers” has emerged as the top bridge on TRON, moving $8.4 billion worth of assets in 2025 alone. This makes it the central player in TRON’s cross-chain liquidity flow.User activity is also on a sharp rise. Daily bridging transactions peaked at roughly 7,500 on July 17, up nearly 19x from a year earlier.Ethereum-to-TRON Flows Hit RecordsWhile flows from ETH to TRX are massive, the reverse is almost negligible. The amount of ETH bridged to USDT on TRON reached $7.7 million on August 9, with ERC20 transfers totaling $19 million in June.In contrast, TRON-to-Ethereum activity barely registers. Only $2,000 worth of USDT has moved from TRON to Ethereum this year. TRC20 token flows in the opposite direction stand at just $700,000.This imbalance shows how TRX is functioning as a one-way liquidity sink for Ethereum-based assets. The low outbound flow suggests funds are staying on TRON, likely due to its lower transaction costs and faster settlement times.The pattern has persisted since mid-2024, with no signs of reversing. For traders and stablecoin users, TRON appears to be the preferred final stop.A Growing Base of Individual UsersTransaction patterns indicate that bridging activity is spread across many addresses, not dominated by a few large holders. The average transactions per active address range between one and three.This suggests that most bridge users are distinct individuals or entities making single transfers. It reflects broad adoption rather than concentrated whale-driven activity.Daily active addresses hit an all-time high of 5,000 on July 18, up 31x compared to last year. This rapid growth points to a diverse and expanding user base.With USDT continuing to lead stablecoin usage and TRX’s bridging infrastructure growing more active, the network’s role as a liquidity hub looks set to remain strong through the rest of 2025.
