Brother, have you ever woken up to find your account short of a Rolls Royce? I have, twice.

The first interest rate hike in Japan, I was traveling the world, and over 1.3 million U on BN and OKX was directly liquidated, like a dream.
The second time was worse. Just after the Spring Festival, I landed in Bangkok, and the moment I unlocked my phone – ETH liquidated at 2100, and it crashed to 2080, over 70 ETH vanished into thin air. Along with BTC and SOL, it was a complete mess.
The third time, I was prepared.
Now that the third interest rate hike in Japan is approaching, I started positioning myself a month in advance. But this time is completely different – I am no longer all-in on long positions, but have transferred most of my funds into @usddio.
Why? Because those educated by the market understand: offense makes you money, defense keeps you alive.
USDD has become my 'safe haven'.
The extreme volatility before and after interest rate hikes makes stablecoins the way to go.
The over-collateralization design of USDD allows me to dare to place large funds inside and wait for opportunities.
1:1 pegged to the US dollar, it gives me confidence when the market fluctuates.
Those who say 'bull markets require aggressiveness' mostly haven't experienced the pain of liquidation. Real veterans know that #USDD being stable is not just a slogan; it's wisdom earned from painful lessons.
My 2026 reversal plan.
The fortune teller said 2025 will be unfavorable, and 2026, the Year of the Horse, will bring change. I believe half of it—not in fate, but in cycles. So:
During the third interest rate hike, major funds took refuge in USDD.
Maintain a small position to test the market temperature.
Wait for clear signals to appear, then use stablecoins to exchange assets and strike.
This time I won't be traveling; I'll be sitting in front of my computer. But my mindset is completely different—because I know that no matter how the market fluctuates, my USDD position is as stable as a mountain.
Have you also experienced the interest rate fluctuations? Let's talk about your defense strategy.
