The Tron's native token, TRX took a hit over the last 24 hours after it plummeted in value, meanwhile, USDD stablecoin<\/a> de-pegging has also intensified. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"USDD<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TRX dropped as much as 19% and is now trading at $0.05, its lowest level in 15 months. In the last 24 hours, the token has also been the worst performer among the top 50 cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The token's weakness follows the loss of the USDD algorithmic stablecoin's dollar peg, despite founder Justin Sun's repeated efforts to support the peg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USDD will likely not share same fate as Terra UST<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After trading below its dollar peg for more than two days, the USDD fell as low as $0.9598, according to Coinmarketcap data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The token's entire market valuation has dropped by nearly 1% to $701.4 million in the last 24 hours. Given its algorithmic nature, the token has garnered comparisons to Terra's UST stablecoin<\/a>, which vanished in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Tron, like Terra, is mobilizing billions of dollars behind the token. Because USDD is not as large as UST, which was worth roughly $20 billion at its peak, crypto analysts think that it may not suffer the same fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USDD had recently been changed by Tron's Sun to strengthen collateralization and make it less vulnerable to a crash like Terra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tron mobilizes funding to support USDD and TRX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, Tron spent around $700 million to sustain the USDD<\/a> peg by buying the token on the open market. Justin Sun also stated that a $2.5 billion fund would be set up to support TRX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tron has purchased TRX on multiple occasions to support the token, recently withdrawing $948 million ($47 million) from Binance. The Tron DAO has made several withdrawals\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> from Binance and has also used its USDC holdings to purchase more tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Tron has announced a mining pool <\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>with Curve Finance and Convex Finance, which is intended to attract yield-hungry traders with an estimated APR of 96.25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tron is offering a 113.38% APR<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> for staking USDD to further encourage the purchase of the token.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
