WalletConnect, a leading crypto connectivity infrastructure provider, has announced full integration with the TRON network. This move, announced on January 21, 2026, directly connects over 600 WalletConnect-enabled wallets and 70,000 decentralized applications (dApps) to the TRON ecosystem, significantly expanding institutional and user access to its DeFi, NFT, and GameFi offerings.
The integration enables seamless TRC-20 token transfers from any supported wallet and provides direct access to native TRON dApps. According to Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect, the partnership is a key step in making stablecoins universally accessible for faster and cheaper payments. "Adding TRON expands the global stablecoin rails available to our ecosystem and strengthens everyday payment adoption," Houlgrave stated.
The news highlights TRON's established role as a major settlement layer for stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT). The network processed an estimated $7.9 trillion in USDT transfer volume in 2025 alone and currently handles over $21 billion in daily stablecoin transfers. TRON founder Justin Sun emphasized the network's scale, noting that integrations like WalletConnect help bring that capability directly into everyday payment applications.
WalletConnect support for TRON is now live on major wallets including Trust Wallet, Binance Web3 Wallet, and SafePal, which have collectively processed tens of millions in transactions. The integration is also rolling out to applications like Sun.io, JustLend, and Symbiosis Finance to enable fast payments and broader DeFi participation.
This development follows WalletConnect's recent partnership with payment terminal giant Ingenico, which aims to enable stablecoin payments across 40 million point-of-sale terminals globally, marking a significant push into physical retail.
