This is the weekly data edition: hard numbers on what it cost to withdraw USDT in the week of October 5 – 11, 2026 (Monday to Sunday), how the picture moved versus the prior week, and whether anything looks abnormal. All exchange fees, minimums and limits are verified reference values from official pages dated 2026-10-12; energy prices are manually surveyed by the Tronsell operations team on the same date.
The short version: fees did not move for an eighth consecutive week, TRX closed 1.7% lower at $0.3299, and the availability column was clean for the first time since September 21 — only routine token and chain maintenance across the week. The direction of travel changed on the demand side instead: US spot Bitcoin ETFs swung from +$241.1 million to -$681.1 million, Ethereum funds shed $542.07 million, and 24,073 BTC left exchanges on a single day.

⚡TRON Snapshot: Energy, Burn and Block Health
The network's cost parameters did not move: the energy burn price is still 100 SUN (Proposal #104), and the best surveyed OTC rental price held at 26 SUN, with the surveyed band at 26–30 SUN. At the week's closing TRX price of $0.3299, a standard 65,000-energy USDT transfer costs about $2.14 if you burn TRX and about $0.56 if you rent energy — a 74% saving now eight weeks old. A transfer to a brand-new address (roughly double the energy, ~130,000) runs about $1.12 rented, or about $4.29 burned.
One market did reprice. JustLend DAO's weekly snapshot for September 29 – October 5 put its energy rental price at 4.089 TRX per 100,000 energy — about 41 SUN per unit — and noted it moved higher on the week, after the protocol cut its base rate from 15% to 8% in early October. That is the on-chain lending market pricing the same commodity at roughly 58% above the best OTC quote, and the gap has now persisted for three weeks. We price our readers' transfers off the OTC side because that is where the execution is cheapest, and we flag the lending side because it is what a user sees if they rent through a DeFi protocol instead.
Network health looked normal: block times steady at ~3 seconds, no congestion pricing, no governance vote on fee parameters during the week.

🔍Arrival Speeds and Anomaly Check
Anomaly scan for the week, in the usual four checks. Fees: no change at any of the eleven venues — eighth consecutive flat week. Minimums: unchanged across the board. Availability: routine maintenance only, and nothing that touched a USDT TRC20 route: Bitget paused AXS withdrawals on BSC from October 7, MEXC paused SEI deposits and withdrawals for the Sei upgrade on October 8–9, Bybit scheduled an hour of BTC wallet maintenance on October 12, and BitMEX paused all withdrawals from October 12 for about 48 hours. Energy market: the 26–30 SUN OTC band held for an eighth week while the on-chain lending market repriced to about 41 SUN — the widest divergence between the two quotes since we started tracking both.
Two things to watch next week, neither of them a fee item. First, whether the $681 million of Bitcoin ETF outflows extends into a second week — one negative week after a +$2.39 billion week is a brake, two is a regime. Second, the Ledger reseller drain is still moving: Tether's freeze was about $10 million against estimates of $72–$94.5 million of losses, and traced proceeds have already reached Binance deposit addresses on TRON. None of it changes what a TRC20 transfer costs.
Eighth consecutive flat week on fees, a clean availability column for the first time in three weeks, and 74% still saved by renting energy at 26 SUN instead of burning TRX at 100 SUN. TRX closed 1.7% lower at $0.3299, which moves the arithmetic by a cent, not by a decision: the cheapest complete path for $1,000 stays near $1.56 all-in over TRC20 with rented energy.
