Tron Active Addresses Surge to Record 5 Million as Network Usage Explodes

2026/01/30 15:58

On-chain data shows the Tron network entering a new phase of activity expansion.

According to CryptoQuant, the 7-day moving average of active addresses has surged to 5 million, marking the highest level ever recorded for the network.

This breakout in usage comes while TRX price remains relatively stable near $0.29, creating a notable divergence between network fundamentals and market valuation.

Active Address Growth Turns Parabolic

The chart shows a long-term uptrend in Tron’s active addresses stretching back several years, but the recent acceleration stands out sharply. Over the past months, activity has moved from steady growth into a near-vertical expansion, pushing well beyond previous cycle highs.

The SMA-7 confirms that this is not a one-day anomaly. Sustained elevated readings indicate consistent, repeat usage rather than short-lived spikes tied to isolated events.

Price Holds Steady as Usage Accelerates

While network activity has reached historic levels, TRX price has not followed with a comparable breakout. The chart shows price consolidating around $0.29, after a strong multi-year advance but without the same parabolic behavior seen in address activity.

This type of divergence typically reflects a utility-led expansion phase, where transaction demand grows faster than speculative positioning. In other words, the network is being used more intensely without an immediate surge in leverage or momentum-driven buying.

Stablecoin Transfers Likely Driving the Increase

Although the chart does not isolate transaction types, Tron’s role as a dominant rail for stablecoin transfers, particularly USDT, offers a clear explanation for the surge. High-frequency payments, remittances, and settlement flows tend to drive sustained address growth without necessarily producing short-term price volatility.

This pattern aligns with what the data suggests: organic usage rather than speculative churn.

Structural Signal, Not Short-Term Noise

Historically, periods where network activity expands significantly ahead of price have preceded longer-term repricing phases, as markets adjust to rising fundamental demand. While timing remains uncertain, the scale of this address growth points to a structural shift in how heavily the Tron network is being utilized.

With active addresses now at record levels, Tron is reinforcing its position as a high-throughput payment-focused blockchain, where real usage, not speculation, is increasingly shaping on-chain dynamics.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
