PayPal is adding support for a permissionless version of its PYUSD stablecoin on Tron, Avalanche and several other blockchains via LayerZero and its Stargate Hydra bridge. Payments giant PayPal is expanding its PayPal USD stablecoin across eight new blockchains, seven of which are through an integration with LayerZero’s Stargate Hydra bridge. The integration will create a permissionless version of PayPal USD (PYUSD) — PYUSD0 — which will be “fully fungible” with the PYUSD and interoperable across blockchains, crypto infrastructure firm LayerZero said in a statement on Thursday.  Those blockchains are Tron, Avalanche, Aptos, Abstract, Ink, Sei and Stable, while existing permissionless versions on Berachain (BBYUSD) and Flow (USDF) will upgrade to PYUSD0. A separate announcement on Thursday also revealed that PYUSD has expanded to Stellar.

The financial regulator asked a judge to stay its enforcement case against the Tron founder in February, after which time the company went public on Nasdaq. Two members of Congress have called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to answer questions that could impact how crypto companies go public on US exchanges.  In a Wednesday letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins and acting director of the commission’s division of corporation finance Cicely LaMothe, Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative Sean Casten questioned the agency’s timing on dropping an enforcement case against Tron founder and CEO Justin Sun. The Tron founder had been facing a lawsuit filed by the SEC in 2023 over allegations of offering unregistered securities, but the agency asked for a stay in the case in February, a month after the departure of former Chair Gary Gensler.

Even after the change, Tron still holds a significant lead in revenue among layer-1 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain. Tron’s recent fee reduction has significantly cut into the revenue earned by its block producers, according to a new report from CryptoQuant. The total daily network fees for Tron’s block producers, known as Super Representatives, dropped to $5 million on Sept. 7, the lowest level in over a year. That’s a 64% revenue decline in 10 days, down from $13.9 million the day before lower fees were implemented. Onchain data shows that average gas fees on Tron have decreased by 60% after the network implemented a proposal slashing the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun. Gas fees are transaction costs paid on the Tron network, measured in its smallest unit, called sun. Tron Proposal #789, labeled “Decrease the transaction fees,” went live on Aug. 29 after a vote from the Super Representative community. Read more

A plan to halve Tron’s energy costs is winning strong support ahead of Friday’s deadline, with backers betting lower fees will expand adoption. A GitHub proposal to realign the Tron blockchain’s fee structure with broader adoption goals is gaining traction ahead of Friday’s voting deadline, signaling that network stakeholders are prioritizing accessibility — even at the risk of introducing net inflation in TRX supply. The proposal, titled “Decrease the transaction fees” (Issue #789), was submitted on Aug. 8 by GitHub user GrothenDI in the Tron Improvement Proposals repository.  It calls for reducing the energy unit price to 100 sun from 210 sun, effectively halving the cost of transactions that consume energy. One TRON (TRX) token equals 1,000,000 sun — the smallest divisible unit of TRX, similar to a satoshi for Bitcoin (BTC). Read more

Previously, Kraken and Backed launched xStocks on Solana and BNB Chain. Debuted in late June 2025, xStocks has had more than $2.5 billion in combined DEX and CEX volume, according to a Kraken blog post. “The enthusiasm developing in the RWA sector is more indicative of a growing institutional confidence in the utility of layer 1 blockchain networks like Tron,” a TronDAO representative told Cointelegraph. “As institutional blockchain continues to evolve, we plan to stay focused on building the infrastructure ne...
