USDT on TRON has overtaken Bitcoin in payment activity on CoinsBee, according to new data covering a 90-day period from June 4 to September 1. CoinsBee’s figures show that TRC-20 USDT generated about 1.8 times as many completed payments as Bitcoin and roughly 1.9 times as many as Ethereum during that window.
The broader year-to-date numbers point in the same direction. USDT on TRON made up 16.23% of all CoinsBee payments in 2026 through the reporting period, up from 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. These numbers help explain why TRON remains closely tied to stablecoin transfers: low transaction costs and wide exchange support can matter more to payment users than the asset’s role in investment markets.
There is an important limit to the story. CoinsBee’s data does not prove 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 only 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.
