River Secures $8M from TRON DAO Ventures to Expand Chain-Abstraction Infrastructure on TRON - Coinfea

Singapore, January 21, 2026 — River, the first chain-abstraction stablecoin system designed to connect assets, liquidity, and yield across ecosystems, today announced $8 million in strategic investment from TRON DAO Ventures. River will deploy its chain-abstraction stablecoin infrastructure and expand its integration across the TRON ecosystem, strengthening TRON’s position as a leading blockchain network for stablecoin activity.

River will enable cross-ecosystem assets and liquidity to enter the TRON ecosystem through its chain-abstraction stablecoin infrastructure. The integration will further accelerate the flow of cross-ecosystem liquidity into TRON, extending access to one of the world’s largest blockchain networks. By abstracting underlying network complexity, users will be able to move assets across blockchain ecosystems without navigating individual chains, simplifying cross-chain participation and settlement. The initiative aims to build a more unified and interoperable infrastructure to support activity across the TRON network.

As part of the initiative, satUSD will be introduced across several core protocols within the TRON ecosystem. It will be deployed in stablecoin liquidity pools alongside USDT and USDD on SUN, with price feeds provided by WinkLink, and will be made available on JustLend for lending and borrowing. The integration will extend across a range of assets and dApps across the TRON ecosystem, including TRX, USDT, wBTC, BTT, JST, SUN, WIN, and select NFT use cases. River also plans to introduce a Smart Vault and an institutional-grade Prime Vault.

TRON is one of the most actively used public blockchain networks globally, processing approximately 56 percent of all retail-sized USDT transfers in the fourth quarter of 2025, the highest share among major blockchains. According to Tether’s latest transparency report, the network currently hosts approximately $83.4 billion in USDT liquidity, reflecting its role as a primary blockchain infrastructure supporting stablecoin activity worldwide.

By combining River’s cross-ecosystem connectivity with TRON’s scalable blockchain infrastructure, the collaboration aims to support the development of a more integrated network for liquidity, yield, and asset deployment. The initiative reflects a shared focus on strengthening blockchain infrastructure to support scalable settlement, cross-ecosystem liquidity, and institutional participation.
