Tron Surpasses BNB Chain

Tron Network has surpassed BNB Chain to become the third-largest blockchain outside of Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Tron Network overcame BNB Chain on January 2-3, maintaining a total volume locked (TVL) of $4.15 billion USD. BNB Chain sits just behind at $4.08 billion USD. The difference is marginal but notable. BNB Chain held firm behind Ethereum for almost all of 2022.

BNB Chain has been on a steady decline over the last few months. BNB Chain had over $6B in TVL in November 2022, while Tron Network has hovered between $4B-5B in TVL in the last two months.

Tron Network recently integrated BUSD, the stablecoin of Binance. The pegged version of BUSD has surpassed $101M in TVL just in the past week since integration.
