TRON's USDT Surpasses Bitcoin as Top Onchain Payment Option on CoinsBee
The TRON-based USDT (TRC-20) has become the most used onchain payment option on CoinsBee, according to recent data. In a 90-day period ending September 1, 2026, USDT on TRON recorded nearly twice as many payments as Bitcoin and 1.9 times more than Ethereum. The share of payment activity for USDT on TRON also increased substantially.
USDT on TRON accounted for 16.23% of all payments on CoinsBee in 2026 to date, compared with 9.92% in 2025, representing a 64% increase. This growth indicates that the average value of USDT purchases made through TRON was higher than those made through other networks supporting USDT.
The data shows that USDT on TRON is being used for various everyday purchases, including retail, mobile connectivity, gaming, transport, and food delivery. In the United States, Amazon, Apple, AT&T, PlayStation, Uber, Macy’s, T-Mobile, Walmart, Sephora, and DoorDash were among the most purchased brands using USDT on TRON during this period.
In response to this growing trend, CoinsBee and TRON DAO are launching a joint campaign focused on the use of USDT on TRON for everyday purchases. From September 21 through October 5, 2026, eligible users will receive a 2% discount on purchases paid with USDT on TRON.
