MoonPay has integrated the TRON blockchain into its Trade infrastructure, letting users buy and sell crypto on TRON without needing to hold TRX for network fees. The move, announced today, means gas costs are folded into the overall transaction price — a shift that could lower the barrier for newcomers who don't want to manage multiple tokens just to pay for transfers.
How the gasless model works
Normally, sending or swapping tokens on TRON requires a small amount of TRX to cover network fees. MoonPay's system abstracts that cost away: users see a single price for the trade, and the backend handles the gas. The integration covers the broader TRON ecosystem, including decentralized apps like SunSwap and JustLend.
Trust Wallet is the first launch partner
Trust Wallet, the self-custodial wallet owned by Binance, is the first partner to go live with the feature. The wallet's users can now trade TRON-based assets through MoonPay's infrastructure without needing to keep TRX in their wallets for fees. MoonPay says it has more than 30 million customers across 180 countries and serves over 1,700 enterprise clients.
TRON's scale and stablecoin dominance
TRON has amassed more than 396 million user accounts and processed over 15 billion total transactions as of August 2026. Its total value locked (TVL) sits above $26 billion. The network also hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT), which now exceeds $90 billion — making it a key chain for stablecoin transfers. Average daily transfer volume on TRON is over $22 billion.
Regulatory note
MoonPay's Trade infrastructure is operated by Swaps XYZ, Ltd and is not licensed, authorized, or regulated by any financial services regulator. Users should be aware that the service does not carry the same protections as a regulated exchange.
The integration is live now. No timeline has been given for additional wallet partners.
