TRON DAO Reserve Buys 10M USDD In An Effort To Stop Its Stablecoin From Depegging

TRON DAO Reserve acquired 10m of TRON stable coin USDD to protect the blockchain and crypto industry.

Justin Sun and the TRON DAO Reserve have just announced that they have acquired 10 million USDD on TRON to protect the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector from potential harm. This comes as TRON’s stablecoin, USDD, continues to be unpegged from the US dollar.

To safeguard the overall blockchain industry and crypto market, TRON DAO Reserve have purchased 10,000,000 #USDD on #TRON.

Tron’s stablecoin, USDD, was subjected to a turbulent change in market conditions a few days ago, which resulted in it being unpegged from the US Dollar. After the price was de-pegged, Tron DAO Reserve took action to attempt to bring it back up to its previous level. 

It removed around 5.5 billion Tron (TRX) from exchanges in an effort to raise the USDD collateral and stop the stablecoin’s price from falling further. However, it would seem that none of TRON’s attempts have resulted in any fruit being produced as USDD remains depegged even at the time of this publication. USDD is worth $0.9601, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

More significantly, USD’s market value decreased by around 19 million dollars last week. The de-pegging of the stablecoin certainly had an effect, as seen by the fact that the market size decreased from $715 million on June 13 to $696 million at present.

The Tron Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) has only recently increased its reserves to support the blockchain in the aftermath of the de-pegging of the stablecoin. The DAO added another 300 million USDC to its supply the week before last.

It was an intriguing development when USDD first appeared on the market in April 2022. It is intended to function as a native stablecoin for the Tron blockchain, but one that is built algorithmically. As was the case most recently with UST, the success of algorithmic stablecoins is unpredictable. It would seem that the USDD is now a “miss” owing to the fact that its depeg from the value of $1 is still in progress.

On the other hand, the famous Terra Whistleblower Fatman is confident that USDD will not become like UST. He warns investors not to short USDD; as for him, the Justin sun stable coin will soon regain its 1:1 ratio with the dollar.

“USDD, another algostable, has severely depegged to $0.937. Some of you are tempted to make a play, assuming this is the next UST. Do *not* short USDD – it will not end well for you, I promise – this is not like UST.”
