- CoinsBee says USDT on TRON generated about 1.8 times as many completed payments as Bitcoin over its measured 90-day window.
- USDT on TRON accounted for 16.23% of CoinsBee’s 2026 year-to-date payments, up from 9.92% in 2025.
- The figures describe CoinsBee activity only and should not be generalized to global crypto payments.
USDT on TRON has overtaken Bitcoin in payment activity on CoinsBee, according to a new data release covering a 90-day period from June 4 through September 1.
CoinsBee’s figures show TRC-20 USDT generated roughly 1.8 times as many completed payments as Bitcoin and around 1.9 times as many as Ethereum during the measurement window.
Stablecoin Spending Gains Ground On CoinsBeeThe broader year-to-date numbers point in the same direction.
USDT on TRON represented 16.23% of all CoinsBee payments in 2026 through the reporting period, compared with 9.92% in 2025. CoinsBee described that as a 64% increase in payment share.
Within USDT activity on the platform, TRC-20 accounted for 44.6% of transaction count and 64.5% of total USDT turnover.
Those numbers help explain why TRON remains closely associated with stablecoin transfer activity: low transaction costs and wide exchange support can matter more to payment users than the asset’s role in investment markets.
The Data Is Platform-SpecificThere is an important limit to the story.
CoinsBee’s data does not establish that USDT on TRON is the world’s most-used payment method, nor does it measure total global payment volume across every merchant, wallet or chain.
It tells us what happened on CoinsBee.
The company and TRON DAO are also running a 2% promotional discount using code USDT-TRC from September 21 through October 5, which may affect payment behavior during that campaign period.
Within the scope that can be verified, however, the trend is clear: on CoinsBee, USDT on TRON has become a larger payment rail than Bitcoin by completed transaction count over the measured window.

Why this matters
Bitcoin is showing up inside the Stablecoins theme, so this story is worth tracking for follow-through rather than treating it as a one-off headline.
