Tron is preparing to launch USDD 2.0, a stablecoin offering an annual yield of 20%, fully backed by Tron DAO reserves. The stablecoin will be integrated into Tron’s ecosystem, utilizing TRX and other digital assets as collateral and maintaining a 120% collateralization ratio.

Tron’s latest attempt at a stablecoin, USDD 2.0, offers a 20% APY, subsidized by the Tron DAO. However, the reliance on a volatile TRX token raises concerns about the coin’s long-term stability and sustainability.
Tron’s Latest Stablecoin, USDD 2.0, to Offer 20% APY Backed by Tron DAO Reserves.
Tron is set to launch an updated version of its stablecoin, USDD 2.0, promising a 20% annual percentage yield (APY) fully backed by Tron DAO reserves. The updated stablecoin aims to offer users a high yield and address prior community concerns after the failure of the first version of USDD.
Tron intends to distribute the 20% yield in advance to a publicly visible address to ensure transparency. Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, emphasized that the yield will be subsidized by the Tron DAO’s substantial reserves.
“It’s simply because we have plenty of money. So, stop asking me questions like “where does the yield come from.” -Sun
But the crypto community remains cautious because of the previous instability and concerns over USDD 1.0, which faced challenges to maintain its dollar peg.
USDD 2.0 will use the ecosystem’s native token, TRX, and other digital assets as collateral. But the heavy reliance on TRX, a volatile asset, raises concerns about the stablecoin’s ability to maintain its peg, especially during market downturns or a potential de-pegging event. Despite the launch and promotion of USDD 2.0, the community remains skeptical due to the failure of the first version.
Tron’s native token, TRX, experienced a significant price surge recently, which might be attributed to the upcoming launch of the Tron stablecoin. The price movements and anticipation could be part of Tron’s strategy to increase the adoption of the Tron ecosystem.
