TRON Included in S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index as Institutional Benchmarking Expands to Blockchain Networks
TRON DAO announced on July 22, 2026, that the TRON blockchain has been included in the newly launched S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index. Developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices and Pantera Capital, the index applies a methodology centered on protocol utility, onchain liquidity, and network activity – extending traditional benchmark frameworks used in equities and other asset classes to digital assets.
TRON’s inclusion comes as the network continues to scale within the digital asset ecosystem. The blockchain now supports over 394 million user accounts and more than $90 billion in USDT, making it one of the primary settlement networks for stablecoin activity globally. According to Token Terminal, TRON leads all networks in USDT transfer volume year to date, with approximately $4.5 trillion. Recent integrations with Anchorage Digital, Securitize, and Bitnomial have further expanded institutional access to the TRON ecosystem through regulated U.S. market infrastructure.
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, commented: “As digital assets become part of mainstream financial markets, the frameworks used to evaluate them must evolve as well. Transparent benchmarks have long served as essential reference points across global financial markets. Applying those same principles to blockchain networks reflects the continued maturation of digital assets as an institutional asset class, where utility, adoption, and onchain activity are becoming fundamental measures of a network’s significance.”
The S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index represents another step in bringing traditional financial market standards to digital assets, providing participants with a standardized way to evaluate a network token’s everyday utility and adoption.
TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.

As of July 2026, the network has recorded over 14 billion total transactions and over $26 billion in total value locked (TVL), based on TRONSCAN. TRON is recognized as a global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases.
