TRON (TRX) Sharpe Ratio Signals ‘Far from Overheating’ as USDT Activity Hits Record High
TRON (TRX) is currently seeing a price decline, trading at $0.2773 after a 4.8% dip in the past 24 hours. This places the token at roughly 35.7% below its all-time high of $0.4313 recorded in December 2024.
While the recent downtrend reflects broader market conditions, some analysts believe that underlying indicators point to room for recovery. Among these indicators is the Sharpe Ratio, a key measure of risk-adjusted return.
Sharpe Ratio Suggests TRX May Be Entering Constructive Phase
On-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci recently shared his perspective on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, emphasizing how the Sharpe Ratio for TRX may provide clues about market sentiment and potential price movement.
According to Kesmeci, TRX’s current Adjusted Sharpe Ratio stands at 8.3, well below the historical signal of market overheating, typically seen above 40.
Kesmeci noted that historically, TRX tends to perform well when its Sharpe Ratio holds above 1. Periods when the ratio dips below that level often coincide with bearish market phases.
The recent rebound above 1 suggests that the token may be entering a more constructive phase, particularly as the ratio remains well within a range that does not reflect speculative excess.
He also pointed to the recurrence of similar setups earlier in 2025, which preceded notable price recoveries as leveraged short positions unwound.
TRON Leads in USDT Transfers as Whale Activity and Minting Intensify
Meanwhile, another analyst, maartunn, shared insights on TRON’s role in stablecoin activity, noting that May 2025 marked a record month for USDT transfers on the network.
TRON facilitated $694.54 billion in USDT (TRC-20) transfers during the month, with 59% of that volume, around $411.2 billion, coming from whale transactions over $1 million. TRON currently holds the largest amount of stablecoins across any blockchain, with $75.7 billion in USDT alone.
The analyst also pointed to an increasing frequency of large-scale mints. Seventeen separate $1 billion USDT mints have been recorded on TRON so far this year, highlighting the network’s expanding role in digital dollar settlement.
With more than 10.5 billion transactions processed, TRON’s infrastructure continues to support substantial on-chain activity. The increasing dominance of TRC-20 USDT reflects both user demand and the appeal of low-fee, high-throughput transaction capabilities.

Taken together, the Sharpe Ratio data and record-breaking USDT flows offer insights into the current state of the TRON ecosystem. Despite the recent price retreat, metrics suggest that traders are not yet overly bullish and that the network is benefiting from a strong foundation in stablecoin activity.
