According to @justinsuntron, AINFT has rolled out a Web3-native AI service platform that integrates TronLink login and on-chain payments, letting TRON users pay directly with TRX, USDT, or NFTs without cross-chain or fiat top-ups (source: @justinsuntron). The post states the platform aggregates major models, including “GPT-5 mini,” the latest Claude, and Gemini, supporting chat, complex reasoning, and multimodal tasks with pay-as-you-go pricing (source: @justinsuntron). New users receive 1,000,000 points plus an additional 20% points when paying via NFT, aiming to lower entry barriers and keep spend within the TRON ecosystem (source: @justinsuntron). The post frames this as aligned with TRON’s speed and low-cost profile and notes he has personally switched to using the service (source: @justinsuntron).

According to @justinsuntron, USDD 2.0 launched in Jan 2025 with a 20% APY incentive that drove TVL past $200M within one month, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report. In Apr 2025, vault support for sTRX (staked TRX) enabled issuance beyond stablecoin-only collateral and anchored supply formation to TRON-native assets, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report. sUSDD serves as the primary savings vehicle with over $310M in TVL earning 8% APY on Ethereum as of Jan 2026, consolidating incentives into a single composable product, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report. USDD expanded natively to BNB Chain in Oct 2025, with $12.5M USDD supply fully collateralized in the PSM-USDT-A module by late Jan 2026, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report. The protocol deliberately pursued above-market yields to accelerate adoption while managing risks via explicit collateral buffers, rate controls, and transparency, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report. For traders, sTRX-backed issuance and cross-chain deployments highlight areas to monitor such as TRX staking demand, stablecoin liquidity, yield sustainability, and collateral buffers, source: @justinsuntron; Messari report.

According to @justinsuntron, AINFT on Tron has been upgraded into an AI aggregator that integrates multiple models including GPT5, Claude, and Gemini 3, offers TronLink sign-in with a 1,000,000-point starter balance, supports API access, uses a pay-as-you-go points system based on output complexity, and enables crypto payments in NFTs, TRX, USDT, USDD, and USD1 with an extra 20% when paying via NFT (source: @justinsuntron citing @0xMoon and @OfficialAINFT on X). For traders, @justinsuntron highlights direct payment and settlement utility for TRX and Tron-based stablecoins inside an AI application, linking on-chain usage to model inference and API consumption within the Tron ecosystem (source: @justinsuntron).

According to @Celo, Bankless called Celo the most underrated chain, and the network ranks as the #1 L2 with roughly 700K+ daily active users, citing @growthepie_eth. According to @Celo, it also leads weekly USDT active users ahead of Tron, citing @tether, with emerging-market growth attributed to MiniPay, citing @minipay. Using data cited by @Celo from @growthepie_eth and @tether, traders can monitor CELO and USDT pairs, Celo DEX volumes, and gas usage to gauge whether user leadership is translating into sustained on-chain liquidity.

According to @justinsuntron, he will attend GWDC2026 at Hong Kong Cyberport on Feb 8–9, 2026, with the guest update confirmed by Web3Labs (source: @justinsuntron; Web3Labs).

According to @justinsuntron, Tron Inc. added to its TRX treasury again, taking total holdings above 677 million TRX and signaling continued corporate accumulation. According to @justinsuntron, more listed companies holding TRX on balance sheets is reducing tradable float and compressing short term volatility, reshaping liquidity for active traders. According to @justinsuntron, stability is increasingly supported by TRON’s stablecoin settlement network and a shifting holder structure, making short term swings harder to trigger. According to @justinsuntron, traders should plan entries, exits, and risk controls for TRX with tighter float and structurally firmer order books in mind.

According to @trondao, TRON ended Q4 2025 with record network activity as daily transactions surpassed 10 million, active addresses continued to climb, and the TRON stablecoin ecosystem reached a $81.8B market cap, citing Messari’s State of TRON Q4 2025 report (source: @trondao; source: Messari).

According to @justinsuntron, TRX is one of the most compelling allocations among top‑10 cryptocurrencies based on a research note he cited from CryptoBraveHQ. According to @justinsuntron, TRX gained +132.34% over the past year, outperforming BTC at +58.27% and SOL at +2.58%, while ETH declined by -37.15%.

According to @justinsuntron, WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin is deploying on ETH, TRX, and BNB, reinforcing TRON’s role in stablecoin settlement. According to @justinsuntron, TRX also shows stronger bear‑to‑bull resilience, higher new‑cycle highs versus prior peaks, smaller pullbacks this cycle, a deflationary supply while BTC, ETH, and SOL are inflationary, and combined energy, node staking, and governance rewards offering APY above 20%.
