Crypto activity has shown multiple patterns on a daily or weekly basis. Overall, the most active trading happens during US open hours, but the TRON network may hide the secret to crypto’s hottest hours of activity. The TRON network may hold one of the keys to crypto activity. The chain’s daily patterns show a repetitive spike in volumes at the same hour, 9-11 UTC. On-chain analyst Joao Wedson noted the perfect timing was due to the overlap of global markets, either preparing for the new day or settling the previous one. The ‘golden hours’ of crypto often lead to more significant price action, while there are also slow periods with a sudden crash in volumes. 🚀 The Whale’s Clock: Why 9-11 AM UTC is the “Rush Hour” for Million-Dollar Transactions on TRON A fascinating analysis of TRON network data reveals an impressive pattern: USDT transactions above $1 million reach their absolute peak between 9-11 AM UTC, creating a true “rush… pic.twitter.com/TK1VbvpBu9 — Joao Wedson (@joao_wedson) July 30, 2025 The trend is easily visualized in the activity of the USDC stablecoin on the TRON network. The stablecoin transfers signal the biggest deals for the day, fund rebalancing and tapping arbitrage opportunities. With over $89B on TRON, stablecoins are chasing the potential for gains, aiming to build momentum during the most active hours. Currently, the biggest volumes are still moved during US open market hours, as previously noted by Cryptopolitan . However, the TRON network ensures highly concentrated volumes, which are rarely seen on Ethereum-based stablecoins. Stablecoin usage signals hot crypto hours USDT on TRON shows a specific pattern of daily spikes and slow periods of activity. The token is used within native TRON DeFi protocols, in addition to centralized trading. TRON USDT activity has always shown a clear pattern of spikes and troughs, affecting all transaction sizes. This may be due to timing the market and daily repositioning. | Source: Dune Analytics . Most of the TRON-based USDT is active on Binance and HTX, and shows significant signs of coordination from Asian traders. The activity affects all user cohorts, with most activity in large-scale retail moving $1,000 to $10,000 in USDT. Whales also match the pattern with transactions over $100K to $1M. Some of the on-chain TRON analysis suggests not all activity on the blockchain is organic. The neat daily patterns suggest the usage of bots or other timed tools to tap the market’s peak activity. TRON leads in stablecoin supply and activity Despite the claims of bot usage, TRON has created the perfect conditions for sufficient liquidity and highly active DeFi and CEX trading. After a brief period where ETH led the stablecoin supply battle, TRON was chosen as the more active chain for new USDT mints. Tether was specifically targeting TRON with regular $1B mints. Currently, the TRON chain carries just around $5.8B in value locked, as its DeFi protocols still have limited usage. Despite this, the USDT on TRON shows peak activity. TRON became a leader in stablecoin usage after offering gas-free USDT in early 2025. Tether’s smart contract dominates the TRON network, as stablecoins with zero fees become the hottest new trend in crypto. Ethereum’s USDT transfers still carry higher volumes, mostly tied to DeFi and lending, as well as whale activity. TRON network fees reflect the trend of increased usage, with a constant expansion trend in the past years. The chain produces $1.5M to $2M in regular daily fees , with growing baseline activity for the whole of 2025. KEY Difference Wire helps crypto brands break through and dominate headlines fast
