Tron has seen a drastic rise of USDT circulating on its blockchain. It is now greater than 5.1 bln coins, Tron chief Justin Sun has proudly tweeted.

Aside from this, a gargantuan amount of TRX has been wired between unknown wallets and the Poloniex exchange.
5.1 bln USDT-Tron circulating out there
According to tweets from Justin Sun and the Tron Foundation, the number of circulating USDT-Tron stablecoin has surpassed 5.1 bln.
The Foundation also mentions a record number of transactions: 22 mln have been performed with this stablecoin by this point.
USDT launched on Tron in April last year after a partnership between Tron and Tether. It has been gradually rising, with the CEO, Justin Sun, intending to turn USDT-Tron into the most popular stablecoin.
Ethereum remains the most popular USDT platform
Despite the aforementioned USDT-Tron record, Ethereum remains the most popular blockchain on which Tether has been issuing its stablecoin.
According to the Tether transparency page, right now there is a $11,227,080,729 worth of USDT circulating on the second largest blockchain network—more than twice more than on Tron.
What's more, USDT from Tron is often transferred to Ethereum.
A week ago, as reported by U.Today, a whopping 100 mln USDT was shifted from Tron to Ethereum, showing that ETH-based USDT remains the leader among the other blockchains, on which USDT has been emitted: Tron, EOSIO, Omni, Liquid, Algorand and SLP.
