TRON DAO has announced a strategic partnership with MoonPay, allowing users across the United States to purchase TRX—the native token of the TRON blockchain—directly through the MoonPay platform. This move represents the first phase of a broader collaboration and positions TRON for deeper integration into the mainstream crypto payments ecosystem.
Direct TRX Purchases Now Available to U.S. MoonPay Users
The partnership immediately benefits American users, who can now buy TRX seamlessly via MoonPay’s regulated and widely trusted payment platform. As one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, TRX is a gateway to the TRON network’s active decentralized finance (DeFi) environment, which sees an average of 8.3 million transactions daily and supports a wide range of dApps and stablecoins.
With TRX listed on more than 130 exchanges and its market cap exceeding $23 billion as of April 2025, the token is a key player in global digital value transfer. MoonPay’s U.S. integration aims to boost both accessibility and participation in TRON’s fast-growing ecosystem.
Expanding TRON’s DeFi and Stablecoin Ecosystem
TRON’s network stands out for its role in powering stablecoin transactions, particularly with the USD Tether (USDT). The blockchain now hosts over $70 billion in circulating USDT supply, making it a dominant force in cross-border settlement and payment infrastructure, especially in emerging markets where digital dollars are in high demand.
By bringing TRX to MoonPay’s instant payments platform, the collaboration unlocks new on-ramps for users seeking to enter or interact with TRON’s DeFi, NFT, and Web3 projects. This is especially relevant as the TRON ecosystem continues to record massive user growth—over 303 million total user accounts, more than 10 billion transactions, and $20 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of this spring, according to TRONSCAN.
Statements from MoonPay and TRON Leadership
Ivan Soto-Wright, MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, commented on the partnership:
“TRON continues to deliver impressive results across its entire ecosystem – from DeFi and stablecoin leadership to powering some of today’s most innovative platforms. We’re excited to make TRX accessible to our U.S. users, unlocking new opportunities to participate and benefit from TRON’s diverse, fast-growing ecosystem, with more to come in the near future.”
TRON DAO’s community spokesperson, Sam Elfarra, echoed this optimism:
“Having TRX available for U.S. users on MoonPay’s instant, programmable payments platform is a very positive development for our ecosystem. As a leader in payment and stablecoin solutions, MoonPay’s integration greatly enhances TRON’s trajectory as a global settlement network.”
