Liminal Launches Liminal Prime for Institutional OTC and Stablecoin Liquidity
[PRESS RELEASE – HONG KONG, HONG KONG, September 2nd, 2026]
New suite of standalone products gives institutions principal OTC dealing and LP connectivity alongside Liminal’s existing wallet and key-management infrastructure
Today, Liminal, a provider of institutional digital asset wallet and key-management infrastructure, announced the launch of Liminal Prime, an enterprise software suite designed to provide stablecoin liquidity connectivity. It is built exclusively to enable locally licensed exchanges, financial institutions, payment providers, fintechs, market makers, corporate treasuries and OTC trading desks to access principal-to-principal OTC dealing and LP connectivity alongside Liminal’s existing wallet and key-management infrastructure. Liminal’s technology is delivered strictly as a tech infrastructure solution to authorised entities responsible for their own local regulatory compliance.
As cross-border payments, tokenized assets and enterprise blockchain applications move from pilot projects into production deployments, financial institutions increasingly need trading and liquidity infrastructure designed to integrate with the governance and compliance controls institutions have already established. Liminal Prime has been built to address that gap precisely.
For many institutions, secure wallet infrastructure is no longer the primary challenge. As digital asset operations mature, attention is shifting toward trading, liquidity access, and operational efficiency. Liminal Prime has been developed to address this next phase of institutional adoption.
This launch marks the next phase of Liminal’s evolution as an institutional partner, expanding its core wallet and key-management offering with OTC and liquidity connectivity. Each product operates as an independent module, licensed and deployed separately, giving institutions the flexibility to adopt what fits their operational and regulatory requirements, without displacing existing infrastructure
Liminal Prime is built by the team behind Liminal’s institutional wallet infrastructure and key-management infrastructure, which has processed more than US$100 billion in on-chain transactions across more than 20 blockchain networks for institutions in over 12 countries.
The products have been shaped by direct engagement with the licensed exchanges, payment companies, financial institutions and digital asset businesses that form Liminal’s client base. What those clients identified consistently was a common operational gap: institutional-grade trading and liquidity access that works within, not alongside, their existing governance and compliance frameworks.
“What we keep hearing from institutions, across markets, is that the wallet question is largely settled. The conversation has moved on. They are now asking how they actually operationalise digital assets at scale — how they trade, how they manage liquidity, and how they do all of that without introducing new counterparty risk or compliance gaps. Liminal Prime is built to close that gap. We have the relationships and the trust already in place. This is a natural next step.” Rajesh Sabari, Chief Commercial Officer, Liminal
Liminal Prime comprises three products, each addressing a distinct institutional operating requirement:
White-Glove OTC supports high-value, complex, and time-sensitive block trades through a dedicated dealing desk. A desk reaches Liminal directly, gets a price, and confirms the trade; no automated flow, a human on the other end for every transaction. Where regulatory frameworks permit, Liminal acts as principal counterparty for its own account on every trade, buying and selling digital assets. Designed for licensed institutions where transaction size, confidentiality and tailored workflow requirements are paramount.
Electronic OTC (eOTC) provides GUI and API-driven access to streaming and firm quotes for organisations managing recurring, high- frequency digital asset transaction flows at scale. A GUI and API connection enables automated, always-on pricing; a web platform provides a self-serve, screen-based experience for systematic dealing without a manual conversation for every trade. Subject to applicable local licensing, Liminal acts as principal counterparty for its own account.
Bridge is a technology platform that gives institutions a single screen or API to request quotes from, and trade directly with, liquidity providers they have separately onboarded with and been approved by. Liminal is not the counterparty to the trade, does not operate an exchange, brokerage or trading venue, and takes no custody of assets. Liminal’s role is limited to routing quote requests, displaying prices and supporting communication between the two parties; the trade and its settlement happen directly between the institution and its chosen liquidity provider, off-platform, under their own bilateral agreement.
Across all three products, Liminal Prime delivers configurable reporting, audit-ready workflows and integration with Liminal’s wallet and key-management infrastructure. The products support multiple blockchain networks and major digital asset pairs, providing the transparency, governance and operational controls that institutions require.
“The time for discussing institutional digital assets in theory is over. Institutions now need practical solutions that can be deployed against real treasury, payment and liquidity requirements. Whether you are managing stablecoin flows, entering a new market or looking for more efficient execution, bring us the challenge. Liminal Prime is ready to help you put into action.” Clarence Leong, Senior Manager – Institutional Markets, Liminal
Liminal Prime is the first step in a broader infrastructure strategy. As institutional participation in digital asset markets deepens across tokenization, cross-border payment infrastructure and enterprise treasury management, Liminal will continue building out its product offering. The company’s objective is to serve as a trusted infrastructure partner for licensed institutions at every stage of their digital asset operations, from wallet and key-management infrastructure to OTC and liquidity connectivity solutions.
Important Notice
White-Glove OTC and Electronic OTC (eOTC) are restricted and unavailable to entities operating or residing in the UAE, India, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as any jurisdiction where local laws prohibit their use. Bridge is available subject to local regulatory requirements. Note: Users are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all local regulations before attempting to access any of our services.
Communication Notice: The following Important Notice is an integral part of this release and must be reproduced in full wherever this release, or any substantial portion of it, is published or reproduced.
About Liminal Prime
Liminal Prime is a suite of institutional OTC and liquidity connectivity products comprising three distinct offerings: White-Glove OTC, Electronic OTC and Bridge. Where regulatory frameworks permit, White-Glove OTC and eOTC are principal-to-principal dealing products in which Liminal acts as counterparty for its own account. Bridge is a technology platform through which institutions can request quotes from, and trade directly with, approved and licensed liquidity providers of their choosing; the legal trade is formed and settled bilaterally between the institution and its chosen LP under their own agreements. Each product is operated and assessed independently and is designed to complement existing institutional infrastructure. Institutions may adopt individual products independently, based on their operational and regulatory requirements.

Buying a joke coin on Robinhood Wallet now looks a lot like buying a movie. Reported test purchases through payments firm Crossmint posted on Visa and Mastercard as digital media, not as crypto.
One code decides who earns credit card rewards. Chase says the wrong one was used, and it has taken the case to Visa.
Why the Robinhood Memecoin Code Matters
Visa’s rulebook is such that crypto buys must use merchant category code (MCC) 6012 or 6051. They must also carry a quasi-cash flag, which strips most reward points.
Reported tests of dogwifhat (WIF) buys came back as 5815 instead. That code covers books, films and music sold online. Points and cashback posted as normal.
Chase’s own rewards agreement rules out cash-like spending and names cryptocurrency. The bank said the points should never have landed.
Crossmint answers with securities law, not card law. Its help pages limit the product to memecoins it treats as collectibles born from internet memes. Stablecoins and payment tokens stay barred.
That defense has real backing. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff called meme coins akin to collectibles in 2025. A March interpretive release then named WIF as an example, next to CryptoPunks. Visa’s manual grants no such exception.
Cutting friction is the entire pitch.
“Apple Pay is something that every iOS user uses in their everyday lives. The experience of buying a memecoin is no different from purchasing your morning coffee” said fomo CEO Se Yong Park.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is reviewing the setup. Her office knows payment rails. It took $45 million from Block in July over Cash App fraud controls. In April it sued Coinbase and Gemini over prediction markets.
WIF traded near $0.19 on Wednesday, down 2% in a day, worth about $197 million in total. Dogwifhat price levels barely moved on the dispute.
The $20 Million Loss That Was Not
A viral post claimed one wallet fat fingered $20 million into Artificial Inu (AI) and lost $19.8 million in seconds. The token is a Robinhood Chain meme coin paired against tokenized NVDA.
That figure came from a price tracker, not the chain. The tracker read one hop of a multi-pool route as a finished trade. Traders who rebuilt the route put the real spend near $650,000, a trace BeInCrypto could not independently confirm.
Robinhood’s tokenized stocks and meme coins push sits under both stories. Easy checkout produced one. Thin liquidity produced the other.
Visa can recode the merchant, warn it, fine it or claw back fees. Each of those endings kills the rewards.

Officials in the G20, under the US’ presidency, recognized that digital assets could support “broad-based economic growth” and called for improvements in cross-border transactions.

In 2005, following Hurricane Katrina’s devastating August landfall, Resilience Force founder and executive director Saket Soni moved to Louisiana to help the workers facilitating the state’s recovery. Confronted by the realities of the storm’s aftermath, Soni had a clarifying conversation with his mentor, historian Vincent Harding, who, he said, told him that the country they lived in was a work in progress: “This is a place that’s still being built, and you’re part of building it.”
To this day, it’s this ethos that underpins Soni’s advocacy, in which he supports and protects the crews who rebuild after disaster. It also provides a powerful shorthand for the apparent mission of every innovator featured on our inaugural TIME Trailblazers list, which recognizes those leaders who, across the world, are designing and making the future.
Among them: Aicha Evans of Zoox, who imagines a future where our roads are dotted by safe, and time-efficient, robotaxis. Bjarke Ingels, a visionary architect who helped design The Dryline, the U.S.’s largest urban climate adaptation project. Mike Schultz, a gold-medalist whose company, BioDapt, creates prosthetics used by many athletes in the Paralympics. And Jason Ballard, the CEO of Icon, which 3D prints homes he hopes “will become a part of humanity’s toolkit”—and potentially help solve the growing housing crisis.
This is a world full of potential, promise, and problems to solve. This is a world that is still being built. These 14 Trailblazers are standout examples of the many committed to building it.
In this week’s Crypto Long & Short, Varun Datta of Truth Ventures writes that crypto venture capital’s retreat to later-stage deals is a consensus trade dressed as discipline. With proven companies taking 57% of last quarter’s capital, he argues the founding-stage gap is where the returns are, and lays out three things to look for.
Japanese firm Remixpoint sold its entire altcoin portfolio in a single session on September 1, pocketing a ¥117.77 million ($598,400) profit while consolidating its crypto treasury exclusively into Bitcoin.
The move marks a sharp reversal from a diversification bet the company made just months earlier.
From Altcoin Diversification to a Bitcoin-Only Standard
Back in June, Remixpoint pursued a different strategy entirely. Seeking to protect capital from a weakening yen, the company built a position of roughly 1.2 million XRP tokens while also adding Solana and Dogecoin to its balance sheet.
Internal financial models at the time projected that revenue from that crypto segment would reach up to ¥12.44 billion ($63.21 million). Management’s thinking shifted over the summer, however, after assessing the market risks and volatility tied to holding multiple altcoins.
Leadership settled on what the company called a selection-and-concentration strategy. On September 1, Remixpoint liquidated all its altcoin positions in a single trading day.

The total transaction value reached ¥878.81 million ($4.47 million), against a book value of ¥761.04 million ($3.87 million) at the start of the period, producing that net profit. Results varied sharply by asset.
Ethereum delivered the largest gain at ¥60.20 million ($305,900), followed by Solana at ¥49.30 million ($250,500), with both tokens also generating ¥29.87 million ($151,800) combined in staking rewards. XRP contributed a smaller ¥11.52 million ($58,500) profit, while Dogecoin posted the only loss, at ¥3.25 million ($16,500).
Remixpoint plans to direct the realized profit toward its core energy business, expanding its fleet of industrial battery storage systems and strengthening its overall financial position.
Why Bitcoin Won Out Over the Rest
Remixpoint’s crypto holdings now consist exclusively of approximately 1,506 BTC. Company leadership framed the decision as pragmatic rather than ideological, pointing to Bitcoin’s ability to generate stable passive income through lending.
Between February and August 2026, the firm’s Bitcoin lending program accumulated 14.92 BTC in interest, generating ¥164.21 million ($834,300) without requiring any sale of the underlying asset.
That yield advantage helped tip the balance away from altcoins, which offered price exposure but little in the way of an equivalent income mechanism. The company’s brief diversification experiment has effectively ended, with its capital now consolidated around a single asset.
Remixpoint’s pivot reflects a broader pattern among Japanese corporate treasuries navigating currency weakness and seeking yield, though few have reversed course this decisively in such a short window.

The wallet makes USDT and TON spendable through familiar bank QR codes. The shortcut is genuinely useful, but users give up self-custody and accept opaque third-party settlement.
At a café in Bangkok or Hanoi, the merchant sees a familiar local bank QR code. The customer sees a crypto balance. Antarctic Wallet is built to make both sides of that checkout work without asking the merchant to learn anything about USDT, TON, wallets, or blockchains.
That is the product’s sharpest idea. The merchant still receives fiat through the payment rail it already uses. The customer scans the code, approves an amount, and the equivalent crypto leaves an Antarctic balance. The complexity moves out of the checkout and into the settlement layer.
The convenience is real. So is the trade-off.
Antarctic is not a self-custody wallet, the merchant is not receiving crypto, and a payment can depend on the wallet, an unnamed service provider, a local payment system, and the underlying blockchain all working at once.
Is Antarctic Wallet Any Different?
Antarctic describes the service as a direct crypto payment. There are no P2P transfers, and only direct QR payments. After a user scans a QR code, a request goes to a verified counterparty, that counterparty pays the fiat invoice, and Antarctic deducts crypto from the user.
The company calls this P2C and defines service providers as third parties that make fiat payments to sellers in exchange for a user’s digital currency. For a virtual card, a partner bank issues the card and the merchant again receives fiat.
Antarctic provides the interface and technical connection; it does not issue the card.
This structure is why Antarctic can work with QR systems that were never designed for crypto. The customer gets a familiar checkout while the merchant continues to receive fiat through its normal payment rail.
| Note: Antarctic does not make a merchant accept crypto. It coordinates a crypto sale and a third-party fiat payment behind an ordinary merchant QR code. That distinction matters for fees, failures, disputes, and regulatory responsibility. |
Why the Model Fits its First Markets
Antarctic says the service is available across a CIS grouping, Vietnam, and Thailand, with 12 more markets planned. The choice of Southeast Asia is logical because users and merchants are already trained to scan. Bank of Thailand data recorded 2.53 billion PromptPay transactions worth THB 4.66 trillion in May 2026.
In Vietnam, official figures show QR transaction volume rose 61.63% and value 150.67% in the first nine months of 2025.
Crypto adoption is also unusually high. Chainalysis ranked Vietnam fourth and Thailand seventeenth in its 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index.
Vietnam’s regulatory direction is tightening, though: Reuters reported in March 2026 that authorities were preparing locally licensed exchanges and rules that would prohibit nationals from trading on overseas platforms. Digital assets are not recognized as money or legal tender there.
Features, Access, and What can be Verified
The wallet supports USDT and TON over TON and TRC20, with access through the web, mobile apps, and a Telegram Mini App. Its wider menu includes card top-ups and withdrawals, virtual cards, AliPay, Steam and mobile top-ups, mass transfers, AML checks, and a referral program.
There are positive controls on paper. Antarctic requires KYC, names Sumsub as its verification provider, screens deposits and withdrawals under its AML policy, and offers passcode and two-factor protections.
The company also holds an active Kyrgyz virtual-asset exchange operator license—number 167, form VA 0188—issued in May 2025 for the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic.
There are visible signs of usage. Google Play showed more than 50,000 downloads at review time. Telegram displayed roughly 148,000 monthly users. The Apple App Store showed a 4.6 rating, but from only 10 ratings.
BeInCrypto confirmed that the public web onboarding loaded and offered email and Telegram sign-in. It did not complete account creation, KYC, or a funded payment.
The five-second figure, live exchange rate, checkout fee, and end-to-end settlement therefore remain company-reported rather than independently reproduced in this review.
Custody is the Biggest Trade-Off
Antarctic’s company page says users control their assets and that the company has no access to their funds. The terms say the opposite in an operational sense. They describe an omnibus wallet controlled by Antarctic and state that the company manages and retains control of private keys to transact on a user’s instructions.
For risk assessment, the terms should prevail. Users own a contractual balance, but Antarctic controls the keys and can suspend access, freeze assets, reject deposits, or request enhanced due diligence.
A Telegram-only account carries an additional warning: the terms say deleting the linked Telegram account can cause irreversible loss of access if no email was attached.
Who the Antarctic Wallet is Best For — and Who It Is Not
| BEST SUITED TO | NOT IDEAL FOR |
| Stablecoin holders making small, routine purchases through local QR rails | Anyone storing savings or keeping a large balance |
| Users in supported markets who already pay merchants by bank QR code | Users who require self-custody and direct control of private keys |
| Users comfortable with KYC and a custodial spending account | Privacy-sensitive users or anyone who needs audited reserves and clearer local authorization |
The Verdict: Useful Spending Wallet, Lacks Maturity
Antarctic Wallet addresses a real gap. Many crypto users can hold USDT more easily than they can spend it, while merchants have little reason to add a crypto checkout. Antarctic connects those worlds through payment behavior that already exists. That is a more practical proposition than asking every café, shop, or online seller to adopt a new rail.
For small, routine purchases in a supported market, the convenience may justify the KYC, custody, and partner risk. The interface is accessible across web, mobile, and Telegram; the asset and network choices are focused; and the official Kyrgyz license is verifiable.
The wallet is harder to recommend for savings, large balances, or users who expect self-custody.
Antarctic needs to reconcile its custody language, name or clearly classify settlement and card partners, publish a fee schedule and service-level data, align its privacy labels, and release a credible security audit. It should also distinguish a Kyrgyz VASP license from authorization or partnership arrangements in each market where it operates.
Bottom Line: Interested users should consider Antarctic Wallet like a funded spending account: keep only what you expect to spend, verify the rate and fee before each transaction, attach an email recovery method, and withdraw surplus funds. The product’s idea is stronger than its present disclosure layer.
Antarctic Wallet FAQ
Is Antarctic Wallet self-custodial?
No. Antarctic’s terms define custodial wallet services and say the company controls the private keys and omnibus wallet infrastructure. Users instruct transactions but do not hold the keys themselves.
Which assets and networks does Antarctic Wallet support?
The public FAQ lists USDT and TON, using the TON and TRC20 networks. Supported assets, limits, and services can vary by jurisdiction, so users should confirm the current in-app route before sending funds.
How fast are Antarctic QR payments?
Antarctic advertises a five-second average, while its FAQ says a payment takes about eight seconds. BeInCrypto did not execute a funded payment, and the company has not published an independently audited latency or success-rate report.
Is Antarctic Wallet licensed?
Yes, Antarctic Wallet LLC holds an active license as a virtual-asset exchange operator in the Kyrgyz Republic. The official registry limits the license territory to Kyrgyzstan. That should not be read as proof of local authorization in every market the product serves; availability and legal treatment depend on local rules and partner arrangements.

We are still burying or cremating our dead. We are still searching for our missing people. We are still gasping at the emptiness where our homes stood.
And we know something: the furious deluge that came crashing down from a mountain peak in northern Nepal, like a scene from an apocalyptic movie, and tore through the valleys of the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts of our country was not a freak accident.
It was a warning from the Himalayas. Our majestic mountains and their glaciers are warming because of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from industrialized nations that have been burning fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution. We, in Nepal, produce a mere 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And it is time for the industrialized nations to take responsibility for it.
On Monday, Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority estimated that at least 1,050 people have died in the floods, 292 are injured and 3,916 are missing. More than 90,000 people have been affected. Around 600 of the missing people are foreign nationals from 39 countries.
The first reports, which pointed toward an earthquake setting off the glacial rage, were quickly reversed. What the seismometers registered was a warming glacier shearing off Langtang Lirung mountain peak and slamming into the valley floor with enough force to register a magnitude 5.2 shock, sending a wall of rock, ice, mud and water thundering down the Bhotekoshi-Trishuli River valley at a ferocious speed that gave communities along the riverbanks almost no warning.
Chinese monitors clocked just six to seven minutes between the collapse and the moment the surge hit Gyirong Port at the China-Nepal border. In Rasuwa district, officials recorded the Trishuli River rising as much as nine meters in 30 minutes.
Nepal is familiar with a pattern of extreme climate events induced by climate change. In July 2025, a smaller flood washed away the Friendship Bridge, which connected Rasuwagadhi in Nepal with Gyirong on the Chinese side of the border. In Aug. 2024, a glacial lake let go near Mount Everest, tearing through Thame village and destroying homes, a school and a health post overnight. These natural calamities are becoming more frequent and fiercer.
Nepalis are resilient. Every time a disaster hits, we mourn our dead, rebuild, and carry on. We call it karma, or fate, or the mountains doing what mountains do. But this isn’t karma. The climate is changing, and human activity is changing it. Our resilience becomes a quiet abandonment, a way for the rest of the world to admire how well we absorb losses it helped create.
A Himalayan warning
In Oct. 2023, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stood near Mount Everest and pleaded, “I am here today to cry out from the rooftop of the world: stop the madness…The glaciers are retreating, but we cannot. We must end the fossil fuel age.”
The Hindu Kush Himalaya is warming faster than the global average. Go up to the mountains and you can see it: bare grey rock where there was snow and ice just a decade ago. The region is often called the “Third Pole” because it holds the largest volume of ice outside the two poles. It is also one of the planet’s most important water towers, feeding ten major river systems and sustaining nearly two billion people downstream.
In March, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), an intergovernmental group working in the Himalayan region, confirmed what mountain people already feel: glaciers across the Hindu Kush Himalaya are now losing ice at roughly twice the rate they did before 2000, and have disappeared 65% faster between 2011 and 2020 than in the preceding decade. Nepal alone holds more than 2,000 glacial lakes.
An assessment by the Nepal government and ICIMOD identified 21 glacial lakes across the Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali basins of the country as potentially dangerous and capable of producing a damaging outburst. In 2016, the government of Nepal and UNDP worked together to lower water levels in Imja Tsho, one of the largest and most closely watched glacial lakes in the Everest region. The initiative successfully drained Imja Tsho to a safer level and installed community-based early warning and response systems.
But new lakes keep forming, and old ones keep growing, faster than any single country can monitor them. Imja took years of international effort and millions of dollars to make it safe. Nepal has dozens of glacial lakes like it. We don’t have a fraction of the money required.
The arithmetic of climate injustice
And here is the arithmetic of the injustice: Nepal is one of the smallest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet its people, from remote villages to the Kathmandu Valley, keep paying the price for it. Nepal has grown its forest cover to nearly 46% of its land and draws around 90% of its electricity from clean hydropower. The climate disasters we face are the essence of climate injustice: those least responsible for the crisis are the first and worst affected, and too often the least equipped to recover.
Just as Nepal was turning a corner, under a reform-minded government promising good governance and attracting foreign investment, this disaster could set this part of the country back by about a decade. Our finance minister, Swarnim Wagle, estimates that rebuilding will cost between four and five billion dollars, close to a tenth of our entire economy, against a national budget of around $14 billion for the year.
Every major disaster forces the country to divert scarce resources away from education, healthcare, infrastructure and development and back into rebuilding what was lost. A country that spends its future paying for someone else’s emissions cannot develop. It can only tread water. Nepal doesn’t need another pledge recited at another international conference. We need the international community to move from symbolic gestures to real action.
We need climate finance that actually reaches Nepal. We need a Loss and Damage Fund that pays out when a village needs it, not years after the water has receded. Nepal also needs investment in early warning systems, continuous monitoring of glaciers and glacial lakes, and disaster preparedness that reaches the most remote mountain communities. Six minutes of warning is not a policy failure of Nepal’s alone; it is what underinvestment in mountain monitoring buys.
And finally, the people who live in these mountains and the billions who depend on the water flowing from them deserve a voice in climate policy. Nepal should be central to that conversation. We are not debating what climate change might do. We are already living it.
Nature has a way of reminding us just how interconnected and interdependent we are. A glacier destabilized in one country can, within minutes, devastate villages, infrastructure, and livelihoods in another, while the bodies of the dead are found hundreds of kilometers downstream in another country. Nepal, China, and India share not only mountains and rivers, but also a common exposure to the accelerating risks of climate change. We need more regional cooperation, and Nepal, sitting at the head of these shared watersheds, must play a central role.
Nepal’s mountains are our identity. They feed our rivers, our tourism, our sense of who we are. Now they are also ground zero for the climate emergency. The world needs to heed this warning: we need shared, urgent, and just action before more mountains give way.
Any TRON price prediction for September 2026 must start with a contradiction. Network usage sits at record highs, yet TRX just lost a trendline that held since February.
The token changed hands near $0.3225 on Wednesday, down 2.2% over 24 hours. Its market value stands at roughly $30.6 billion, ranking eighth among all crypto assets.
TRON Network Growth Keeps Setting Records
TRON settles more Tether (USDT) than any other blockchain. Data from DefiLlama shows $91.8 billion of the stablecoin on TRON, against $73.7 billion on Ethereum.
The gap is also widening. TRON’s USDT supply grew 2.28% over the past month, while Ethereum’s contracted 1.40%.
Account growth points the same way. Tronscan recorded 401 million total accounts on Aug. 29, six days after TRON DAO announced the 400 million milestone.
However, accounts measure cumulative sign-ups rather than live users. The pace of growth therefore matters more than the headline total, a point earlier analysis of TRON addresses also made.
TRON has separately targeted the third quarter for its quantum-resistant mainnet. Post-quantum signatures reached the Nile testnet in July, which leaves September as the deadline.
TRON Price Prediction Points Toward $0.307
The daily chart tells a harsher story. TRX peaked at $0.3775 in late May, then corrected into the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $0.3101.
Support held there through June. Price then built an ascending triangle and tested its rising support line six times (blue circles). That line runs back to the February low. Bulls were therefore defending a seven-month structure, not a summer pattern.
TRX broke above the triangle on Aug. 20, with a measured target of $0.3612. The advance stalled at $0.3518 and reversed. The failed breakout now works against buyers. TRX has lost the 0.382 retracement at $0.3359 and trades just under the 0.5 level at $0.3230.
A confirmed close below could open the way to $0.3067, roughly 5% lower. That level combines the 0.618 retracement, a visible demand zone, and the June low.
Volume reinforces the case. Buyers produced a genuine spike during the breakout attempt, but participation has contracted as the price slipped back through the pattern.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 34, its weakest reading since mid-June (purple circle). That is not yet oversold, which leaves room for further weakness.
A reclaim of $0.3359 would invalidate the setup. Such a move could put $0.3518 and $0.3612 back in play.
The wider issue concerns value capture. TRON reduced transaction fees sharply in 2025, which cut the volume of TRX destroyed by network activity.
Circulating supply has since edged higher instead of shrinking. TRX also trades about 25% below its record $0.4313 from December 2024, despite record settlement volume.
September therefore looks less like a catalyst month and more like a test of $0.3067. Several other altcoins face similar decision points.
