The move leaves Justin Sun USDD, which was launched in 2022 and primarily supported by TRX, the native token of the Tron blockchain. It has added further debate around decentralization at USDD and the ability of Tron’s founder to exercise his will. Very little input from the community has been given despite it being governed by a DAO.
Sun came forward to respond to concerns, saying the earlier collateralization ratio of over 300% was inefficient and that this move of the reserve is targeted at streamlining the use of capital.
Industry observers have criticized the shift of USDD to depend on a more volatile asset like TRX. The independent stablecoin rating agency Bluechip has raised red flags about the issues of transparency and overdependence of this stablecoin on TRX.
The Justin Sun USDD stablecoin, rival to Terra’s UST, is now sitting at approximately $744 million in circulation, ranking it the seventh-largest stablecoin and within the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
TRX has doubled in a year and hit a market capitalization of 13.46 billion dollars. It is highly vulnerable to the extreme changes in TRX, and thus, with growing market capitalization, it does not deserve to be the primary backing for USDD.
