MoonPay, a major crypto onramp, has expanded its token offerings to include TRON (TRX), enabling U.S. users to purchase TRX and access the blockchain’s extensive ecosystem. The collaboration was announced by TRON DAO on May 7, representing a significant milestone in TRON’s efforts to increase mainstream adoption.
According to Ivan Soto-Wright, MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, the integration not only connects American users to TRON’s decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoin networks but also lays the groundwork for further strategic initiatives.
“TRON has rapidly emerged as a leader in payments and DeFi, with one of the most active blockchain ecosystems. By making TRX accessible to our U.S. users, we’re enabling them to engage more deeply with TRON’s diverse offerings, from DeFi protocols to programmable payments,” Soto-Wright explained.
Strengthening Payment Capabilities and Stablecoin Utility
The integration of TRX on MoonPay is part of TRON’s broader push to facilitate payments and boost stablecoin utility, particularly in the U.S. market. Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO, emphasized the significance of this development for American users.
“TRX’s availability on MoonPay’s platform significantly enhances TRON’s position as a global settlement network. This move aligns perfectly with our ongoing efforts to expand stablecoin usage and payment capabilities,” Elfarra noted.
On May 7, TRON’s stablecoin supply hit a record $71.9 billion, reflecting the network’s expanding footprint in the blockchain payments space. Additionally, the USD1 stablecoin launched by Trump-linked World Liberty Financial is now available on TRON, further solidifying its role as a stablecoin hub.
Despite the wider market downturn, TRX has maintained a stable price since peaking at $0.4407 in December 2024, trading at around $2.4 as of this report.
