As an experienced analyst, I’ve seen my fair share of market ups and downs, and the recent trend in Tron (TRX) and Ethereum (ETH) is no exception. The fact that both cryptocurrencies have been unable to regain their losses from the past month, despite attempts to do so, is a cause for concern.

Despite hitting all-time highs in February, Tron wasn’t immune to the selling pressure and dipped in price along with other cryptocurrencies such as Solana and Ethereum during March. Presently, Tron is showing losses for the past month and still struggling to surpass its previous peaks.

In the case of Tron and Ethereum, as these cryptocurrencies try to recover from recent losses, an intriguing trend emerges: The need for USDT, the highly valued stablecoin in the global market, is experiencing a significant decrease in demand.

The reason being, Tron outshines Ethereum in terms of scalability and affordability. Unlike Ethereum, which can sometimes be congested and expensive to transact on, Tron offers a smoother and more cost-effective experience for users looking to mint stablecoins like USDT.

As an analyst, I’ve observed significant advancements in scaling Ethereum. The emergence of over a dozen Layer-2 solutions such as Base and Arbitrum strengthens Ethereum’s status as the leading ecosystem.

Over the past few months, gas fees have seen a downward trend. Meanwhile, developers have achieved significant advancements in reducing transaction costs on layer-2 networks through upgrades such as Dencun.

With this new development, individuals previously intending to create tokens such as meme coins or stablecoins on the Tron platform now have the alternative of utilizing Ethereum’s layer-2 solutions, specifically Arbitrum, instead.

The decrease in USDT production on Ethereum and Tron networks indicates a potential decline in cryptocurrency market demand. Typically, large-scale USDT issuance is associated with rising prices for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
