Messari reported that TRON recorded all-time highs in stablecoin supply and network activity during the second quarter, while DeFi and decentralized exchange activity declined. TRON, the layer-1 blockchain founded by Justin Sun, ended the second quarter with $87.9 billion in circulating USDT (USDT), surpassing Ethereum (ETH) while processing $2.1 trillion in USDT transfers during the period. According to a Messari report, USDT accounted for 98.5% of TRON’s stablecoin market, which grew 4.1% quarter-over-quarter to a record $89.2 billion. Average daily USDT transfer volume also returned to growth, rising 4.3% to $22.8 billion after declining in the first quarter.  The increase coincided with record network usage. TRON averaged 11.8 million daily transactions during the quarter, up 8.7%, while average daily active addresses climbed 11.7% to 3.6 million. The network processed a record 14.6 million transactions on June 15, the report said. Read more

DePIN’s “death” narrative hides a market that’s quietly compounding revenues, as Messari’s new report pegs the sector at $10 billion with growing real‑world usage and cash flow. Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) have been written off as dead by many investors, but a new “State of DePIN 2025” report from Messari and Escape Velocity argues the sector has steadily grown into a $10 billion market generating $72 million in onchain revenue last year alone. According to the report, the “class of 2018-2022” DePIN tokens are down a massive 94%-99% from all‑time highs. Yet, leading projects now post verifiable recurring revenue and trade at 10 to 25 times revenue multiples, levels Messari characterizes as undervalued relative to growth. Messari said the shift marks a transition from subsidy-driven growth toward networks that generate revenue through real-world usage, particularly in areas such as bandwidth, compute, energy and sensor data.

Concerns over insider trading on prediction markets have intensified after a series of high-profile bets on geopolitical events, prompting fresh questions over whether it’s even feasible to curb such practices in the growing industry sector. Preventing insider trading is realistically possible only on prediction markets applying Know Your Customer (KYC) measures, according to Austin Weiler, a research analyst at the blockchain intelligence firm Messari. “For KYC’d platforms, the most effective mechanism is to restrict access upfront for users to specific markets,” Weiler told Cointelegraph, adding that state actors could be restricted from political or geopolitical markets.
