Lisbon, Portugal — January 21, 2026 — WalletConnect, the infrastructure layer powering crypto payments and wallet-to-dApp connectivity, today announced support for the TRON network, significantly expanding access to TRON’s global stablecoin rails and DeFi ecosystem.
The integration enables more than 600 WalletConnect-enabled wallets and 70,000 dApps to connect directly to TRON, one of the world’s largest blockchain networks by transaction volume. Governed by TRON DAO, the TRON network is a community-led blockchain ecosystem focused on accelerating internet decentralization through scalable blockchain infrastructure and decentralized applications.
With this integration, users can now execute seamless TRC-20 token transfers from any supported wallet and access native DeFi, NFT, and GameFi applications on TRON via WalletConnect. Enhanced multi-wallet support across mobile and desktop platforms ensures a smooth, unified experience for both end users and developers.
“Stablecoins have proven they can move money faster and more efficiently than traditional payment rails. The next step is making them universally accessible,” said Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect. “Each new integration expands access to crypto and enables faster, cheaper payments. Adding TRON strengthens the global stablecoin rails available to our ecosystem and accelerates everyday payment adoption.”
Once considered a niche crypto use case, stablecoins have become a core pillar of digital payments, supporting consumer transfers, merchant settlement, remittances, cross-border payments, and digital commerce. WalletConnect’s integration with TRON broadens institutional and developer access, allowing custodians and fintech platforms — including Fireblocks and Trust Wallet — to support TRON without additional development work.
The announcement follows recent momentum for WalletConnect Pay, including Ingenico’s integration, which enables stablecoin payments across more than 40 million point-of-sale terminals globally, marking one of the largest expansions of crypto payments into physical retail.
TRON has emerged as the primary settlement network for USDT, processing an estimated $7.9 trillion in USDT transfer volume in 2025 alone. The network powers high-frequency value transfer across consumer and enterprise use cases, including P2P payments, remittances, merchant settlement, exchange payouts, and “digital cash” transactions.
Its widespread adoption in emerging markets highlights TRON’s role as a reliable, high-throughput, and cost-efficient payment infrastructure for moving digital dollars globally.
“Stablecoins have reached true mainstream adoption, with the TRON network handling over $21 billion in stablecoin transfers daily,” said Justin Sun, founder of TRON. “TRON was built to operate at scale, and integrations like WalletConnect bring that scale directly into the wallets and applications people rely on for everyday payments.”
WalletConnect support for TRON is now live across leading wallets, including:
The integration is also rolling out across TRON-based applications such as Sun.io, JustLend, Bridgers, Symbiosis Finance, and Debridge, enabling fast, low-cost stablecoin payments, seamless cross-chain transfers, and expanded participation in DeFi.
Founded in 2018, WalletConnect is the connectivity layer for the financial internet, enabling secure, encrypted connections between wallets and applications across blockchain ecosystems including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and more. WalletConnect is trusted by enterprises, institutions, custodians, and onchain applications worldwide.
