MoonPay enters strategic collaboration with the TRON ecosystem

We’re excited to announce our strategic collaboration with the TRON Ecosystem, a dynamic network of decentralized applications (dApps) and projects built on the TRON blockchain. 

The first phase of the collaboration enables users across the United States to purchase TRX, the native token of the TRON network, directly through the MoonPay platform.   

“Having TRX available for U.S. users on MoonPay’s instant, programmable payments platform is a very positive development for our ecosystem,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO. “As a leader in payment and stablecoin solutions, MoonPay’s integration greatly enhances TRON’s trajectory as a global settlement network.”  

With over 302 million accounts and 10.1 billion transactions, TRON is the world’s fastest-growing public blockchain. Its native token, TRX, is listed on over 130 exchanges and ranks among the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization – exceeding $23 billion USD as of mid-April 2025. 

Alongside TRX, the ecosystem supports a variety of tokens, including USDT_TRX, the USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Tether on the TRON network.

More about TRON 

Launched in 2017 by Justin Sun, TRON aims to create a global digital content-sharing system where creators can publish, store, and own their data without intermediaries. 

Today, the TRON Ecosystem supports a multitude of dApps with a strong focus on DeFi and stablecoins. TRON’s DeFi landscape ranks among the most valuable in the crypto market, and the network controls over 30% of the total stablecoin market share.

“TRON continues to deliver impressive results across its entire ecosystem – from DeFi and stablecoin leadership to powering some of today’s most innovative platforms,” said MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright. “We’re thrilled to join forces and drive meaningful progress across the decentralized landscape.”

Designed for decentralization, high performance, and low costs, the TRON blockchain delivers fast transaction processing – handling up to 2,000 transactions per second – while offering significantly lower fees compared to other major blockchains. 

Stay tuned for more updates on our collaboration with TRON.
