According to data from DefiLlama, Tron currently ranks as the third largest blockchain in terms of total value locked, trailing only behind Ethereum and the Binance Smart Chain (BNB) and already surpassing the likes of Avalanche, Solana, and Polygon. Tron currently outperforms prominent Layer 1 networks like Avalanche and Solana at its current TVL.
TRON remains the only blockchain among the top 20 recording gains, with a monthly gain of 41.33%. It has also gained in the last seven days, rising 33.23%. In comparison, the DeFi sector as a whole has lost about $90 billion in liquidity since last month, with the most prominent blockchains' total value locked down by 30 to 70% as a result of Terra's fallout.
TRON's TVL has risen in value partly as a result of its new algorithmic stablecoin, USDD. The official USDD Twitter account announced on May 28 that the USDD total supply had reached 600 million in its first month of operation. This has also brought the entire DeFi ecosystem of Tron up, as the total value locked in various protocols in the network approaches $6 billion.
USDD is currently ranked 73rd in terms of market capitalization, according to data from CoinMarketCap with a market cap of $602 million.
