Justin Sun: USDD Is as Stable as an Old Dog, $HTX Will Be Listed on a Compliant Exchange Soon

On February 5, Justin Sun, global advisor of Huobi HTX and founder of TRON, gave a passionate talk on Huobi HTX Twitter Space

Huobi HTX Global Advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun hosted a Twitter Space on February 5, discussing the topic "Can we still trust Brother Sun in this USDD wave?" He provided an in-depth explanation of USDD 2.0 and addressed questions from the community regarding USDD and Huobi HTX. The live event garnered immense attention from the crypto community, with over 12,000 people listening simultaneously.

Pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, multiple mechanisms render USDD "as stable as an old dog"

According to official information, USDD 2.0 is a decentralized stablecoin project on the TRON chain that was launched on January 25 this year.

During the live broadcast, Justin Sun mentioned that while stablecoins like USDT and USDC exist in the crypto market, there is still a lack of a stablecoin that truly achieves zero trust, zero censorship, is fully decentralized, never frozen, and is safe and reliable. This is what prompted him to launch USDD.

As per its introduction, USDD 2.0 maintains its 1:1 peg with the US dollar through multiple mechanisms, including over-collateralization, liquidation and auction, risk management and real-time monitoring, PSM (peg stability module), decentralized governance, and more, rendering USDD as stable as an old dog.

Among these mechanisms, the PSM module holds the utmost importance. The PSM module is the key technology that ensures USDD is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, enabling users to exchange USDD with other stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio in seconds without loss, incurring only a small gas fee. This mechanism significantly reduces arbitrage risk and can also rapidly adjust the price to stabilize it when there is an imbalance between supply and demand.

Moreover, users who have minted USDD are aware that they must use qualified assets (TRX, USDT) for over-collateralization before commencing the minting process. This mechanism maintains relative control even during market fluctuations. Thanks to the stability of USDT and the high market liquidity and ecological support of TRX as a mainstream public chain token, the overall price fluctuation range is relatively manageable, and the value of the collateral will always exceed the amount of USDD minted, thus providing ample stability and minimizing risks.

Official data shows that as of 16:30 on February 6, the total collateral of USDD approached 130 million US dollars, with an over-collateralization of 1.23 times.

During the live broadcast, Justin Sun emphasized, "If you don't understand USDD, just think of USDD as a mirror proxy of USDT."

APY subsidy reaches 20%, and the fully decentralized USDD is worthy of trust

Throughout the live broadcast, Justin Sun analyzed that USDT can be exchanged at an unlimited amount at a 1:1 ratio at any time, and its main feature is smoothness, imperceptibility, and zero threshold. Using USDD on TRON is no different from using USDT, except for the higher interest rate.

Just how high is the interest rate? It is reported that the annualized return of the USDD staking activity in the T1 phase is 20%, and these returns are generated by the TRON subsidy. Additionally, Huobi Zhuanbi currently offers a limited-time interest rate subsidy for USDD current products, and the adjusted APY is also 20%. It is reported that after Huobi Zhuanbi launched the subsidy, the outstanding amount of USDD current products increased by nearly 10 times month-on-month. This implies that you can earn a steady interest of 20% by directly depositing USDD in Huobi HTX or Justlend DAO. Of course, users can also borrow USDT through USDD mortgage, exchange it for USDD and then pledge it, or directly borrow USDD and deposit it to amplify the income.

It is reported that the USDD equity address TDrc3zH9wWufmQJyS7QLxBYH8GS27drW5N marked as "LendSafeVault" has deposited USDD worth $1,380,822.00.

During the live broadcast, community users expressed particular concern regarding the security of the 20% USDD revenue subsidy. Justin Sun stated directly, "How much is a completely decentralized stablecoin on the TRON chain worth? Think about it, this is the only decentralized option for the 60 billion USDT on TRON, and you will understand the value of USDD."

Discussing the application scenarios of USDD, Justin Sun revealed that USDD will first serve scenarios that are difficult for USDT on the TRON chain to support. At the same time, it will actively promote cooperation with centralized exchanges, such as Huobi HTX and Poloniex, which may support the use of USDD-USDT
