Backpack Adds TRON Support and TRON Asset Bridging

TRON DAO announced on November 9, 2026, that it had integrated the TRON network with Backpack Wallet. According to NewsBTC, the connection makes TRON’s blockchain ecosystem available through Backpack’s mobile app and browser extension, allowing users to send, receive, hold, and bridge TRON-based assets while retaining self-custody. The supported assets include USDT on TRON’s TRC-20 network. NewsBTC also reported that Backpack users will be able to bridge assets between TRON and other blockchains supported by the wallet and explore decentralized applications and dApps across its ecosystem, broadening the routes available for interacting with TRON-based digital assets. This is a single-source report, and no other supplied outlet independently corroborated the announcement. DeFiLlama’s live data places USDT’s verified circulating supply at $176.79 billion, while market data puts Tether’s market capitalization at $176.89 billion and its price at $0.999111. USDT was essentially unchanged over both 24 hours and seven days, gaining 0.01% in each period. The broader crypto market capitalization stands at $2.56 trillion, with the market broadly lower and the Fear & Greed index at 29, indicating fear. Bitcoin fell 1.70% over 24 hours, while TRON traded at $0.317651, down 0.85% over 24 hours but up 0.33% over seven days; its market capitalization was $30.19 billion. Backpack’s BP token traded at $0.8752, down 0.83% over 24 hours and 5.15% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $218.81 million. The integration may matter for TRON adoption because it places TRON assets and cross-chain functionality within an established multichain wallet interface.
