Key factors driving TRON’s growth include an increase in daily transactions, with the network currently processing approximately 8 million transactions per day, primarily fueled by stablecoin activity. This high level of activity has contributed to the network’s rising transaction fees. Over the last two years, TRON’s average transaction fee has grown from around 20 cents to approximately $1.
