Just now, the traditional market has thrown another clear signal to the crypto world. According to official disclosures, the board of directors of Nasdaq-listed Thumzup Media Corp (TZUP) has approved a digital asset strategy and completed its first purchase of $75,000 worth of Dogecoin (DOGE). Their goal is to build a digital asset portfolio of up to $25 billion. This is not retail FOMO, but a black-and-white statement from a listed company's board — MEME coins are being incorporated into the mainstream asset allocation perspective.
When Carnival Meets Cornerstone: Why We Need a 'Stable' Coordinate System
The news about DOGE excites us, but a more fundamental question arises: how do we measure real value in the rollercoaster-like MEME coin craze? As it becomes the norm for prices to fluctuate 50% in a day, the entire crypto market urgently needs a reliable, stable value benchmark and settlement foundation.
This is precisely the key role played by Decentralized USD (such as USDD). It differs from speculative assets that pursue a hundredfold increase; its core mission is to provide a decentralized, transparent, and dollar-valued 'stable cornerstone.' Imagine when whales and institutions genuinely start allocating cryptocurrencies, they not only need high-beta assets like DOGE for profits but also a stable medium like USDD to facilitate large-scale valuation, value storage, and risk hedging. It is akin to the 'universal currency' of the Wild West, providing all adventurers with a reliable standard for trading and measuring wealth.
Trend overview: Where might the next wave be, aside from DOGE?
The entry of large companies indicates a direction, and our gaze can be more forward-looking. Recently, several new narratives that have sparked high community discussion include:
Maxi Doge ($MAXI): More than just a MEME, it integrates gamified tournaments and staking economics, currently at an early stage.
Toshi ($TOSHI): Combining AI tools with the NFT ecosystem, its recent collaboration with Coinbase has garnered attention.
PepeNode ($PEPENODE): A novel concept that combines MEME culture with 'play-to-earn' node mining.
Practical advice for you
When chasing trends, always remember this rule: risk profits, not principal. For highly volatile new assets, consider combining them with stable assets like USDD. For example, converting some profits into USDD is like establishing a 'safe harbor' for part of your wealth in a turbulent market, allowing you to participate more calmly in the upcoming adventures.
Conclusion
Publicly listed companies buying DOGE is a strong signal: crypto assets are becoming 'institutionalized.' A mature market requires both 'charges' like DOGE and 'ballast stones' like USDD. Understanding the symbiotic relationship between these two may be more important than merely chasing the next hundredfold coin.
