- AEON Pay now enables offline payments with TRON-based assets at over 20 million merchants across Southeast Asia.
- Daily activity on the TRON network has surged, with over 8 million transactions and 310 million global user accounts recorded recently.
In a new collaboration, TRON and AEON Pay have agreed to make everyday shopping experiences directly payable with digital assets. Through this collaboration, users can use TRX—TRON’s native token—as well as USDT and USDD directly at the cashier, simply through the AEON Pay application.
Through AEON Pay (@AEON_Community), users can now transact using TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network. USDT and USDD on #TRON for offline payments are also included to bring fast and low-cost digital payments into everyday retail experiences.

TRON and AEON Bring Crypto Payments to Real Life
What makes it interesting is that this system can already be used at more than 20 million merchants, spread across Southeast Asia. From small shops on the corner of the street to global brands in shopping malls, they are all included.
The mechanism is also simple: open the AEON Pay application, scan the QR code, and pay with the assets in the TRON wallet. The user experience that was previously limited to the digital world is now present in real life. Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy your morning coffee with USDT?
On the other hand, CNF previously reported that TRON is indeed at its peak in terms of adoption. On average, this network records more than 2.4 million daily USDT transactions—far surpassing Ethereum’s 284,000. Even the USDT supply on TRON grew 27% throughout 2025, and now it has surpassed Ethereum.
From dApps to Daily Use, Adoption Keeps Climbing
This collaboration is certainly not a sudden move. TRON itself has recorded several important milestones in the past few months.
On June 7, the network set a new record with more than 8 million daily transactions. That’s up about 30% compared to February. This means that more and more users are actively using TRON, not only to store tokens, but also to transfer, use dApps, and—now this is even more relevant—to pay directly at merchants.
Furthermore, on June 5, TRON reported a spike in daily active users. Even its 50- and 100-day moving averages hit their highest points in TRON’s history. Although the price of TRX has not increased significantly, old patterns show that increased activity is often an early signal before the price responds.
And it’s not just about transaction volume. On June 4, TRON DAO also announced that the network’s revenue in May reached $343 million. This is largely driven by the growth in the number of global user accounts, which has now reached 310 million. So if anyone still thinks that TRON is a “so-so” project, it probably needs an update.
However, what makes the collaboration with AEON important is not just because of its large network. It is because this is the first time that large-scale offline payments have been paired with stablecoins on a fast and cheap network like TRON. That is what makes this solution feel real.
Not only that, AEON Pay has also partnered with several other blockchain networks, but TRON is one of the most active in terms of daily performance. To use an analogy, TRON is like a toll road for crypto transactions. And now, through AEON Pay, the toll road goes straight to the shopping center, food stall, or even the bookstore across the street from your house.
With this trend, it is very possible that in the future we will no longer need to think twice about paying for crypto at the cashier. Just open the application, scan, and you’re done.
Meanwhile, as of press time, TRX is trading at about $0.2809, up 0.58% over the last 24 hours and 5.32% over the last 7 days.
