#usdd以稳见信

Recently, I took another look around the stablecoin space, focusing on the USDD 2.0 of @USDD - Decentralized USD . As an old player in the crypto market for many years, my requirements for stablecoins have always been: truly decentralized, transparent and verifiable, and not easily losing peg. After upgrading to USDD 2.0 in January this year, it transitioned from the previous algorithmic model to an over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin, with all collateral assets visible on-chain in real time. Anyone can freely mint USDD, and the contract cannot be frozen or modified, which is a significant improvement over many centralized stablecoins. The PSM (Price Stability Module) allows for a no-slippage 1:1 exchange through an arbitrage mechanism, keeping the price firmly pegged around 1 dollar. Even during significant market fluctuations, there has been no noticeable de-pegging, with the current price hovering around 0.999 and collateralization rates maintained above 170%, far exceeding the minimum requirement, providing a good safety buffer.

However, from the perspective of an experienced player, one must be objective: USDD mainly operates within the TRON ecosystem, and its liquidity is considerably lower than that of USDT and USDC. While transaction fees are low when used cross-chain, the depth is limited; additionally, the founder Justin Sun's background and the ongoing controversies regarding TRON's centralized governance persist. High yields (staking sUSDD can yield 12%-20% APY, depending on the platform and activities) sound appealing, but high returns often come with uncertainty — part of the yield relies on protocol investment strategies or subsidies, and long-term sustainability needs observation. In extreme market situations, the volatility of collateral assets may amplify risks. The shadow of the early algorithmic USDD still lingers; although it has changed now, historical lessons remind us that no stablecoin is without risk.

Overall evaluation: If you seek true decentralization, are not afraid of limited liquidity in smaller ecosystems, and want to earn some extra yield on stablecoins, USDD 2.0 is worth trying out; the slogan 'earning trust through stability' is not said in vain. But don't go all in; diversification is always the way to go. Brothers, those with positions can share their experiences. I am also trying a small position to stake sUSDD and see how actual returns turn out! #USDD
