According to @justinsuntron, TRON, SunX, and HTX are all up and are being positioned as a three-part stack linking settlement, on-chain perpetuals execution, and exchange liquidity to form a low-cost, high-efficiency trading loop (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026). He states TRON serves as the global settlement base layer with low fees and high throughput, enabling large-scale circulation of USDT and USDD that delivers faster, cheaper, and more reliable transactions for users (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026). He adds that SunX executes perpetual contracts on-chain with rules-based opening, closing, and liquidation, and that TRON’s low fees provide the conditions needed for high-frequency trading strategies (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026). The post specifies that funding rates and liquidation records are fully verifiable on-chain, improving risk control for traders (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026). He notes HTX supplies global user scale and deep liquidity, efficiently connecting on-chain trading, perpetuals, and capital while offering a stable and secure entry point (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026). The combination of TRON for settlement, SunX for perpetuals execution, and HTX for liquidity aims to provide low cost, high efficiency, and verifiable access for global users (source: @justinsuntron on X, Jan 18, 2026).

According to @lookonchain, USDT (TRC20) net issuance on Tron increased by 22.7B over the past year, lifting the on-chain USDT supply to 82.4B and taking total holders up by 11M to over 70.6M, citing Tronscan data tronscan.org/#/token20/TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t/analysis. Based on those Tronscan figures cited by @lookonchain, the starting TRC20-USDT supply a year ago was about 59.7B and the holder count about 59.6M, implying roughly 38% year-over-year supply growth and approximately 18.5% holder growth, sourced to the same Tronscan page via @lookonchain. The 12-month issuance pace averages around 1.89B USDT per month and holder additions average roughly 0.92M per month, calculated from the Tronscan dataset referenced by @lookonchain.

According to @justinsuntron, TRX would make a new high with another 10 percent gain, as stated in his X post on Jan 15, 2026 (source: https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/2011882140942962728). He also highlighted a post by @0xMayyy claiming TRX rose when the broader market rose and continued rising when the market fell, and posed the rhetorical question whether TRX is the real Bitcoin (source: https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/2011882140942962728; source: https://x.com/0xMayyy/status/2011879023253819527).

According to @justinsuntron, JustLend announced a buyback and burn of 525 million JST, equal to about 5.25% of total supply and approximately $21 million, bringing cumulative burns to roughly 10.75%. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The post states that all protocol revenue will be used for multiple JST repurchases before Oct 1, 2025, with all purchased tokens destroyed, and that after this date each quarter’s net new revenue will be used to repurchase in the following quarter with all repurchased JST burned. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The comparison cited in the post notes UNI’s mechanism reportedly auto-buys and burns about one-quarter to one-sixth of V2 and V3 LP fees, implying a smaller share of protocol revenue is destroyed versus JST’s full-revenue approach. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The post also states AAVE targets around $50 million annually (about $4.2 million monthly) for buybacks, roughly one-third of monthly protocol revenue, and allocates the tokens to treasury or reserves rather than burning them.

According to @justinsuntron on X on Jan 15, 2026, JST has maintained a deflationary policy, burning a cumulative 10% of total supply across two consecutive quarters. The first round allocated about 17.72 million USDT to buybacks and burned roughly 5.66% of supply, validating a real-yield buyback model, per the same source. A second buyback-burn round has been executed, signaling a shift from one-off events to a rules-based mechanism, according to the post. The roadmap states that 70% of historical cumulative revenue has been locked for quarterly burns through Q4 2026, while future quarterly net income will continually fund a buyback pool with on-chain disclosures, per @justinsuntron. For traders, this schedule implies ongoing buy-side flows and structural supply reduction that the source characterizes as a certainty premium rather than narrative-driven actions.

According to @lookonchain, Tether minted another $1B USDT roughly 3 hours ago on Tron, with the transaction visible on Tronscan under hash a01ecf6a23c742711d5a358297f63db870fcef8b37a4e74008f430d249fbaf41, source: @lookonchain and Tronscan. Over the past week, Tether and Circle collectively minted $3.75B in stablecoins, source: @lookonchain. Traders can verify the mint and track any subsequent movements from the mint address to assess potential deployment by monitoring the linked Tronscan transaction and related flows, source: Tronscan as cited by @lookonchain.

According to the source, a social post claimed a 1B USDT mint on the TRON network on Jan 9, 2026; this has not been independently verified and should be confirmed via Tether Transparency and TronScan before trading (sources: Tether Transparency, TronScan). Verification requires identifying a mint transaction from the Tether Treasury address on TRON and a corresponding increase in USDT-TRON supply on Tether’s transparency page (sources: TronScan, Tether Transparency). Tether has previously stated that large mints to the Treasury are often authorized but not issued and used for inventory and chain swaps, which may not immediately expand circulating supply (source: Tether official statements). Traders should, after confirmation, monitor USDT-USD peg stability, TRX perpetual funding rates, and stablecoin inflows to exchanges to assess liquidity impact and potential spillover to BTC and ETH perps (sources: Tether Transparency for supply, major exchange funding rate pages such as Binance and OKX).
