Introduction On August 23, 2026, TRONSCAN — the network’s official blockchain explorer — confirmed that TRON’s total account count had officially crossed 400 million.

Still building sTRONger.” The same week brought a second, quieter…

Last Tuesday, a pseudonymous trader known as 0xZiye logged into his Coinbase account and found 7.5 USDT he never asked for sitting in his deposit address.

On July 9, 2026, Hyundai Card converted $20,000 into USDT, sent it from Hyundai Motor America to Hyundai Motor Mexico over the Avalanche blockchain, and converted it back to dollars.
