TRON Emerges as a Strong Challenger in Q2 2025 Against ETH, SOL, and XRP

In the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape of 2025, TRON has emerged as a formidable contender, challenging the dominance of Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP. With a focus on strategic partnerships, user growth, and stablecoin leadership, TRON's Q2 2025 performance has sparked debates about its long-term viability. This article dissects TRON's trajectory, comparing it to its rivals to determine whether its outperformance is a sustainable growth story or a temporary surge.

TRON's Q2 2025 was defined by a series of high-impact partnerships that solidified its position as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure. The native integration with MetaMask, the world's leading self-custodial wallet, unlocked access to 300 million users, driving a 5.9% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) increase in daily active addresses to 2.5 million and a 16.6% surge in new address creation to 199,194. This integration, coupled with the rebranding of SRM Entertainment to Tron Inc.—a publicly traded entity with $111 million in shareholders' equity—demonstrated TRON's institutional credibility.

TRON's user growth in Q2 2025 was fueled by its zero-base fee policy and 2,000 TPS throughput, making it a cost-effective alternative to Ethereum and Solana. The network processed $15 trillion in stablecoin transactions, with 51% of global USDT volume flowing through TRON. This dominance in stablecoin processing—coupled with the success of USDD's 12% APY yield program—attracted $860 million in liquidity, contributing to a $9.3 billion TVL.

Analysts Highlight Remittix (RTX) and Layer Brett (LBRETT) as Undervalued Cryptos Poised for Growth

Analysts are increasingly drawing attention to a relatively undervalued cryptocurrency as a potential outperformer in the coming years, with some forecasting that it could surpass Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE) by Q1 2026. Two names have emerged in recent reports—Remittix (RTX) and Layer Brett (LBRETT)—each offering distinct value propositions to differentiate themselves in a crowded market.

Remittix, positioned as a PayFi network, has been highlighted for its practical use case in bridging crypto to traditional banking. The platform allows users to send cryptocurrency, which is then converted into fiat and deposited into a recipient’s bank account. This functionality is particularly relevant for freelancers and small businesses, expanding the token’s use beyond speculative trading. Analysts also note that Remittix has a clear distribution path, with a confirmed listing on BitMart and a roadmap that includes a multi-chain wallet supporting Ethereum and Solana. These features, combined with a growing buyback activity and a relatively low market cap, have led some analysts to label RTX as a “cleaner 2025–2026 play” compared to meme coins.

In contrast, both Shiba Inu and Pepe continue to face challenges related to their high circulating supply and limited real-world utility. While SHIB’s price remains around $0.000012 and has shown some technical support levels, analysts emphasize that any price movement will require substantial and sustained demand to break through overhead resistance. Pepe, currently at approximately $0.000010, has demonstrated sharp intraday volume but lacks the follow-through needed to sustain long-term gains. Technical indicators also suggest overbought conditions on shorter timeframes, raising concerns about potential liquidity sweeps.
