Geneva and Lisbon, Sept. 12, 2026 – TRON DAO (“TRON”) and Ethena Labs (“Ethena”) today announced that USDe and sUSDe are live on the TRON network, expanding access to Ethena’s digital dollar products across one of the world’s largest stablecoin settlement networks. Users can now bridge USDe and sUSDe to TRON through Stargate Finance and hold or transfer both assets across the network. Support across TRON’s core DeFi applications, including JustLend DAO and SUN.io, is expected to roll out over the coming weeks, with broader adoption across wallets, exchanges, and payment applications to follow. USDe on TRON will also remain connected to liquidity across Ethena’s other supported networks, supporting interoperability across Ethena’s broader multichain ecosystem. USDe brings an additional dollar-denominated asset to TRON, while sUSDe gives TRON’s global user base exposure to Ethena’s rewards-bearing digital dollar product. In turn, Ethena connects with TRON’s global base of over 403 million accounts, where dollar-denominated assets already move at significant scale. “Millions of people rely on the TRON network every day to make payments, save, and move value globally,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to TRON broadens the options available to users and further strengthens the network as decentralized infrastructure for everyday use.” “TRON has a massive user base that already holds and moves digital dollars in significant size,” said Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to that ecosystem means those users can hold a dollar that accrues rewards on the network they already use. This integration is the latest step in our effort to bring our digital dollar products to as many people as possible, and we look forward to continuing to work with the TRON DAO team to find new ways to bring value to TRON’s users.” The integration marks the latest step in USDe’s multichain expansion, with the asset now supported across more than a dozen networks and integrated with leading centralized exchanges and DeFi applications. About Ethena Labs Ethena Labs is the development team behind USDe and USDtb and a contributor to the Ethena protocol. Ethena’s USDe is the fastest growing USD-denominated crypto asset in history, encompassing integrations across some of the largest centralized exchanges and major DeFi applications. Ethena is backed by Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Dragonfly, Binance Labs, Bybit, and OKX among others.

Geneva, Switzerland, September 11, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced expanded support for MetaMask across the TRON ecosystem, with B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent now supporting MetaMask connectivity through their respective dApps. MetaMask, one of the world’s largest consumer platforms for onchain finance, gives users direct control over their money and access to the onchain economy. Earlier this year, MetaMask launched native support for the TRON network across both its mobile and browser extension platforms. Building on that launch, users now have more ways to interact with applications across the TRON ecosystem using MetaMask. B.AI is a financial infrastructure platform designed to give AI agents their own identities and the ability to transact independently, powering autonomous payments and on-chain execution for the emerging agent economy. SUN.io, TRON’s leading decentralized platform with over $650 million in total value locked (TVL), enables users to connect with MetaMask to access its high-performance SunSwap V4 decentralized exchange and automated market maker. JustLend DAO, TRON’s lending protocol, holds more than $7 billion in TVL and supports borrowing, lending, and staking. BitTorrent provides cross-chain interoperability through BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and decentralized storage through the BitTorrent File System (BTFS). “By expanding MetaMask dApp connectivity across TRON ecosystem applications, we’re giving users more ways to interact with TRON through a wallet they already know and use,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO. “By expanding MetaMask connectivity across TRON’s dApp ecosystem, we are enabling millions of users worldwide to experience TRON’s speed, affordability, and ecosystem depth without changing the tools they already rely on.” “Native TRON support in MetaMask gives users greater flexibility to interact with the TRON ecosystem using the wallet they already know,” said Dan Rosario, Ecosystem Engagement Manager at MetaMask. “As more applications across the TRON ecosystem implement MetaMask connectivity, users have more ways to engage with the network while maintaining the control that comes with self-custody.” TRON is a leading global settlement layer for stablecoins, processing more than $23 billion in average daily transfer volume and hosting more than $94 billion of circulating USDT on-chain. Native TRON support in MetaMask enables users to manage TRON-based assets and connect their wallet to supported applications across the TRON ecosystem. As more TRON applications implement MetaMask connectivity, users have additional ways to interact with the network through a familiar self-custodial wallet.
