USDT on TRON Surpasses Bitcoin as Most Used Onchain Payment Option

The TRON-based USDT has become the most-used onchain payment option on CoinsBee, surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to data from CoinsBee, over a 90-day period ending September 1, 2026, USDT on TRON recorded approximately 1.8 times as many payments as Bitcoin and 1.9 times as many as Ethereum.

Its share of payment activity has also substantially increased, accounting for 16.23% of all payments on CoinsBee in 2026 to date, compared with 9.92% in 2025, a 64% increase.

The data reveals that USDT on TRON is being used for everyday retail purchases, including categories such as retail, mobile services, gaming, and food delivery. In the United States, the most purchased brands using USDT on TRON during this period included Amazon, Apple, AT&T, PlayStation, Uber, Macy’s, T-Mobile, Walmart, Sephora, and DoorDash.

To encourage further adoption, CoinsBee and TRON DAO are launching a joint campaign. From September 21 through October 5, 2026, eligible users of the CoinsBee mobile app will receive a 2% discount on purchases paid with USDT on TRON by entering the code USDT-TRC.
