On July 8, 2025, TRON achieved a record 13 million transactions, driven by surging stablecoin activity and the launch of Russia’s ruble-backed RUBx stablecoin, as reported by Cryptos Newss. TRON handles more than 8 million transactions per day, with USDT leading the pack with $21 billion in weekly transfers thanks to its quick and inexpensive transactions across Asia and South America. Rostec, a Russian state-owned tech and defense conglomerate, launched RUBx on TRON’s blockchain, pegged 1:1 to the ruble, to bypass SWIFT and sanctions, enabling secure digital payments via the RT-Pay platform. A similar Russian stablecoin, A7A5, processed $9.3 billion in four months, signaling strong demand that could boost TRON’s transaction volume further. RUBx’s smart contract code will be public on GitHub, with CertiK auditing for transparency, aligning with Russia’s Central Bank regulations.
TRON’s stablecoin liquidity hit an all-time high of $81 billion, with USDT making up over half of its circulation, according to CryptoQuant. The RUBx launch, integrated with RT-Pay for smart contract and wallet transactions, is expected to push this higher, supporting Russia’s digital finance strategy amid sanctions. TRON’s high throughput and low fees (e.g., gas-free USDT transfers) make it ideal for RUBx, which targets both enterprise and retail users. The fact that Russia has already settled oil trade disputes with China and India using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT highlights TRON’s function in transactions that are immune to sanctions. X posts, like @AlvaApp, note bullish sentiment but flag liquidity and adoption hurdles for RUBx.
TRON’s native token, TRX, trades at $0.28, eyeing $0.30 resistance, with bullish momentum from June continuing into July, per IntoTheBlock. Four percent of TRX’s supply was acquired in the last four weeks, reflecting fresh demand, while 65% of holders retain coins over a year, signaling confidence. The Money Flow Index shows renewed inflows since late June, despite minor pullbacks. Analysts, including @Crypto_TownHall on X, view RUBx as a $38 billion move strengthening TRON’s ecosystem, though geopolitical risks and regulatory scrutiny (e.g., UK’s crypto tax rules) could impact growth.
RUBx and RT-Pay aim to modernize Russia’s financial system, complementing the Central Bank’s digital ruble pilot (set for September 2026). TRON’s selection for its scalability and compliance features positions it as a leader in state-backed stablecoins, potentially rivaling USDT and USDC. However, risks include sanctions-related volatility, as seen with Tether freezing $27 million in USDT on Garantex, and low RUBx liquidity, per @AlvaApp. TRON’s $26.8 billion market cap and 13 million transaction milestone underscore its dominance, but investors should monitor global regulatory shifts and RUBx’s phased rollout for sustained growth.
