The digital asset landscape continues to evolve, and with it, the demand for faster, more efficient blockchain solutions. BitGo has taken a significant step forward by expanding its support to include USDC (TRC20) and USDT (TRC20) on the TRON network—now available for both hot wallets and qualified custody services. This enhancement empowers institutions and developers to leverage stablecoins with high throughput, low fees, and seamless integration across decentralized applications.
Understanding the TRON Blockchain
TRON (TRX) is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed to support a scalable and decentralized internet ecosystem. Since its mainnet launch in June 2018, TRON has emerged as one of the most active blockchains in terms of decentralized application (dApp) usage, rivaling even Ethereum in daily transaction volume.
At its core, TRON utilizes a delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. This allows the network to process up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS)—a significant advantage over traditional Proof-of-Work blockchains. Instead of relying on energy-intensive mining, TRON users elect “super representatives” who validate transactions and maintain network integrity in exchange for rewards.
This efficient architecture makes TRON an ideal platform for stablecoin transfers, gaming dApps, DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces—all of which benefit from near-instant settlements and minimal transaction costs.
Developer Tools and Ecosystem Infrastructure
TRON provides a comprehensive suite of tools that make development accessible and efficient:
- TRON CLI: A command-line interface that enables developers to set up and manage nodes with ease.
- TronLink Wallet: A secure browser extension and mobile wallet for storing TRX and TRC20 tokens.
- Tronscan: A powerful blockchain explorer for monitoring transactions, smart contracts, and network activity in real time.
These resources lower the barrier to entry for builders and ensure robust infrastructure for enterprise-grade applications.

A Brief History of TRON: From Vision to Independence
Founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Justin Sun, TRON began as a vision to decentralize the digital entertainment industry. The project quickly gained momentum, raising $70 million during its initial coin offering (ICO), one of the largest at the time.
Key milestones include:
- March 2018: Launch of the TRON testnet, blockchain explorer, and TronLink web wallet.
- May 2018: Release of the Odyssey 2.0 mainnet, marking a major technical breakthrough.
- June 2018: Migration from the Ethereum network to an independent peer-to-peer blockchain, establishing full autonomy.
- July 2018: Acquisition of BitTorrent, the world-renowned file-sharing protocol, integrating decentralized file transfer into the TRON ecosystem.
This acquisition was pivotal—it not only expanded TRON’s user base but also cemented its status as a self-sustaining blockchain with real-world utility.
With over 110 million user addresses and more than 4.5 billion transactions processed, TRON has become a cornerstone of the stablecoin economy. It consistently ranks among the top blockchains for USDT (TRC20) transactions globally.
Why Supporting USDC and USDT on TRON Matters
Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are essential for reducing volatility in crypto transactions while enabling fast cross-border payments, liquidity provision, and DeFi participation. By supporting these assets on the TRC20 standard, BitGo addresses growing institutional demand for:
- Lower transaction fees: TRON’s fee structure is among the lowest in the industry—often fractions of a cent.
- Faster settlement times: Transactions confirm in under 3 seconds on average.
- Scalability: Ideal for high-frequency operations such as remittances, payroll, or exchange withdrawals.
For enterprises managing large volumes of digital assets, this means improved capital efficiency and reduced operational friction.
Moreover, TRC20-compatible stablecoins are widely accepted across exchanges, wallets, and payment gateways—making them a practical choice for global finance infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are TRC20 tokens?
A: TRC20 is the token standard used on the TRON blockchain, similar to ERC20 on Ethereum. It defines how tokens are transferred, accessed, and accounted for within the network.
Q: Are USDC and USDT on TRON as secure as on other networks?
A: Yes. When issued and transferred via verified smart contracts on TRON, both USDC and USDT maintain the same backing and audit standards as their counterparts on other chains.
Q: Can I transfer USDT from Ethereum to TRON directly?
A: No. Cross-chain transfers require a bridge or exchange service. Always ensure you're sending to a compatible wallet address to avoid fund loss.
Q: Does BitGo support other TRC20 tokens besides USDC and USDT?
A: BitGo supports over 600 digital assets across multiple blockchains. For a full list of supported TRC20 tokens, contact client support or visit the official documentation portal.
Q: Why choose TRON over other blockchains for stablecoin transactions?
A: TRON offers superior speed, negligible fees, and high reliability—making it especially effective for micropayments, remittances, and high-volume institutional transfers.
Q: Is TRON decentralized enough for enterprise use?
A: While TRON uses a DPoS model with elected validators, its transparency, performance, and widespread adoption provide a reliable foundation for business applications.
