While a blockchain going public can be a little different than what traditional investors use, in theory, it may be a playing stablecoin infrastructure.
The suggested public transport will provide equity entrepreneurs to a network home of 30% of all Stablecoin transactions (According to Defi Llama data) occurred, and where Half of all USDT in circulation live.
In contrast, while the Circle is a regulated USDC, a Fiat-Back Stablecoin, Tron Inc. will likely provide investors an indirect exposure to a blockchain network that facilitates a significant part of the global Stablecoin activity in both the crypto market and the rapid growth of the south, where the population is skeptical of the existing banking system.
Unlike the Circle, which does not control the infrastructure in which the USDC is transferring, TRON runs the network itself.
This is where the two business models differ: TRON captures transaction fees and on-chain activity directly, while the circle business model is centered on caution, compliance, and interest in the USDC supporting reserves.

While some thought that the virtual infrastructure of Yuan could power commerce in the global south, that thesis was not materialized.
Instead, commerce in underbanked regions is increasingly carried out in Stablecoins and mainly in Tron’s infrastructure.
If that trend holds, Tron Inc. can be the most direct public market market for the railroads of the emerging market.
