In a groundbreaking move, TRON DAO, the community-governed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) dedicated to advancing blockchain technology, has partnered with MoonPay, the global leader in crypto payments. This collaboration enables MoonPay’s U.S. users to directly purchase TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, opening new doors for engagement with TRON’s dynamic decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Bridging Accessibility to TRON’s Ecosystem
The partnership marks a significant milestone for both organizations. U.S. users can now access TRON’s blockchain seamlessly through MoonPay’s platform. TRON processes an average of 8.3 million transactions daily. TRX exceeds $23 billion in market capitalization as of April 2025. It is listed on over 130 exchanges, strengthening its role in the digital asset space.
“TRON continues to deliver impressive results across its entire ecosystem – from DeFi and stablecoin leadership to powering some of today’s most innovative platforms,” said MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright. “We’re excited to make TRX accessible to our U.S. users, unlocking new opportunities to participate and benefit from TRON’s diverse, fast-growing ecosystem, with more to come in the near future.”
This collaboration not only enhances accessibility but also strengthens TRON’s presence in the global blockchain economy, particularly within emerging markets and cross-border transactions.
TRON’s Expanding Influence in DeFi and Stablecoins
TRON supports various tokens, including the second-largest supply of USDT, a USD-pegged stablecoin by Tether. Recently, TRON announced that USDT’s circulating supply on its blockchain exceeded $70 billion. This highlights TRON’s key role in real-world blockchain applications.
With over 303 million user accounts, more than 10 billion total transactions, and $20 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of April 2025, TRON has cemented itself as a leader in the blockchain space.
“Having TRX available for U.S. users on MoonPay’s instant, programmable payments platform is a very positive development for our ecosystem,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO. “As a leader in payment and stablecoin solutions, MoonPay’s integration greatly enhances TRON’s trajectory as a global settlement network.”
A Step Toward Decentralized Internet Adoption
Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON blockchain has experienced exponential growth since its MainNet launch in May 2018. This collaboration with MoonPay aligns with TRON DAO’s mission to accelerate the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps).
This partnership bridges traditional finance with blockchain and DeFi by enabling U.S. users to access TRX directly. Users can now explore TRON’s thriving ecosystem effortlessly. It also promotes wider adoption of decentralized technologies.
Conclusions
The strategic collaboration between MoonPay and TRON DAO represents a pivotal step in expanding accessibility to blockchain-based financial tools. By simplifying the process of acquiring TRX, this initiative unlocks new opportunities for users to engage with TRON’s innovative platforms and contribute to the broader vision of a decentralized internet.
As both organizations continue to innovate, their partnership highlights the transformative potential of combining user-friendly payment solutions with cutting-edge blockchain technology.
