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. (Source)

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance wallets hold 3.464 billion USD1 or 77.5 percent of supply and, if fully enrolled in the airdrop, the implied annualized return is about 13.8 percent from WLFI incentives (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, USD1 balances are concentrated on Ethereum at 46.1 percent and BSC at 44.5 percent, while Jump Trading and Auros Global together deposited 740 million USD1 to Binance after the campaign launched (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the campaign runs from 2026-01-23 08:00 to 2026-02-20 08:00, counts spot, futures, and margin accounts holding USD1 as eligible (with a 1.2x weighting for contract and margin collateral), and distributes 40 million dollars equivalent in WLFI over four weekly tranches; on a 3.0 billion total USD1 assumption with full participation, a back-of-envelope APY is about 16 percent (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, a prior capped 20 percent product added 118 million to supply and briefly lifted the price to 1.0039, whereas the current uncapped structure is driving stronger issuance, placing USD1 at top six among stablecoins and roughly 334 million short of top five, with the source estimating it may reach fifth by campaign end (source: @ai_9684xtpa).
