Stuttgart, Germany, September 21, 2026 — CoinsBee, a global platform that makes it easy to use cryptocurrency for everyday purchases, today announced that USDT (TRC-20) on the TRON network has become the most-used onchain token and network payment option on its platform. According to CoinsBee payment data, USDT on TRON recorded nearly twice as many payments as Bitcoin over the past 90 days, while its share of all payments on the platform increased by 64% compared with 2025.

Over the 90-day period ending September 1, 2026, USDT on TRON recorded approximately 1.8 times as many payments on CoinsBee as Bitcoin and 1.9 times as many as Ethereum.

Its share of payment activity has also risen substantially. USDT on TRON accounted for 16.23% of all payments on CoinsBee in 2026 to date, compared with 9.92% in 2025, a 64% increase in its share of total payments.

The data offers a view into how cryptocurrency holders use digital assets for everyday retail purchases, beyond trading and investing. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, whose market prices fluctuate, USDT is a stablecoin designed to track the value of the US dollar. CoinsBee allows customers in more than 180 countries to purchase gift cards, payment cards, gaming credits, and mobile top-ups from more than 5,000 global and local brands using over 200 cryptocurrencies.

USDT on TRON also accounts for a large share of overall USDT spending on the platform. Over the past 90 days, TRC-20 represented 44.6% of USDT payments on CoinsBee but 64.5% of USDT turnover, indicating that the average value of USDT purchases made through TRON was higher than purchases made through other networks that support the stablecoin. That concentration aligns with TRON's broader position in the stablecoin economy: the network hosts the largest circulating supply of USDT, currently exceeding $94 billion, and is recognized as a global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases.

In the United States, the most purchased brands using USDT on TRON during the same period included Amazon, Apple, AT&T, PlayStation, Uber, Macy's, T-Mobile, Walmart, Sephora, and DoorDash, spanning retail, mobile connectivity, gaming, transport, and food delivery.

The findings are based on CoinsBee payment data. The 90-day analysis covers June 4 through September 1, 2026, and includes successfully paid and delivered orders, comparing payments by cryptocurrency and blockchain network. Payment counts represent completed payments rather than transaction value, while turnover represents the value of the corresponding purchases on CoinsBee. The payment share comparison uses 2026 data to date against full-year 2025 data, with payment share defined as each token and network combination's percentage of total completed payments during the respective period.

Building on this momentum, 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, CoinsBee will offer eligible users of the CoinsBee mobile app a 2% discount on purchases paid with USDT on TRON. Users can enter the code USDT-TRC in the CoinsBee app and select USDT on TRON as their payment method to activate the discount. The offer is available once per user and is subject to conditions. Full campaign terms and eligibility requirements are available on the CoinsBee website.

“USDT on TRON is already the most used onchain payment option on CoinsBee, and its share of payments has grown considerably over the past year,” said Iván Escamilla Rodriguez, Product and Growth Lead at CoinsBee. “What is particularly interesting for us is that this activity translates into purchases across categories such as retail, mobile services, gaming and food delivery. Our payment data gives us a direct view into how people use stablecoins when they want to spend their assets.”

“Stcoins become more useful when people can use them for products and services they already purchase,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokes at TRON DAO. “TRON provides infrastructure for USDT transactions at global scale, and the collaboration with CoinsBee gives users another way to use USDT for everyday purchases.”

The campaign underscores the growing use of USDT on TRON across CoinsBee's catalog of more than 5,000 global and local brands. CoinsBee serves more than 500,000 customers and supports cryptocurrency payments for gift cards and digital products across e-commerce, gaming, entertainment, travel, food, fashion, mobile services, and other categories. With the campaign running through October 5, 2026, and the share comparison tracking 2026-to-date figures against 2025's full-year totals, CoinsBee's published payment statistics provide a continuing measure of how stablecoin spending on the platform evolves through the remainder of the year.
