Tron USDD stablecoin has transferred 4,000 Bitcoin reserves to HTX in the past three days as a result of security changes, according to Justin Sun.
The Tron DAO Reserve undertook a major decision about removing Bitcoins as part of the reserves for its USDD stablecoin while flowing the proceeds back into HTX coin. This move has got crypto industry observers on the edge of their seats, with Tron USDD stablecoin Dollar peg seeing some volatility down by 0.17% to $0.9989 as of press time.
Tron USDD Stablecoin Bitcoin Reserves Dropping
The Arkham Intelligence data shows that the Tron DAO Reserve address has moved 4,000 Bitcoin to HTX over the last three days. Over the last year, they have systematically reduced the Bitcoin reserves by 42% but still hold 8K Bitcoins as part of their reserves.
The Tron USDD stablecoin supply currently stands at 745 million with a massive collateral value of $1.723 billion. However, it turns out that nearly 99% of this collateral is backed by Tron’s native crypto TRX, with the total backing at 10.93 million TRX.
Founder Justin Sun explained the decentralized Tron USDD stablecoin while comparing its functioning to MakerDAO’s DAI. He said that USDD operates via a collateralization model, allowing collateral holders to freely withdraw assets whenever the collateral exceeds a specified threshold, usually between 120%-150%. However, whenever the collateral falls below 110%, it will add another collateral to avoid liquidation. “This is part of the basics of DeFi 101,” he said.
The USDD has a collateralization rate exceeding 300%, indicating low capital efficiency. Sun noted that the TRON DAO Reserve plans to upgrade the USDD stablecoin to make it a more competitive decentralized stablecoin in the market. He also emphasized that Tron is a stronghold for stablecoins.
Tron’s TRX Gaining Strength
The massive memecoin frenzy on the Tron blockchain has led to a strong surge in network activity, leading to 19% gains for the TRX price on the weekly chart. TRX has been fighting closely with Cardano’s ADA for the tenth spot and is currently trading around $0.1548 with a market cap of $13.45 billion. Amid the current rally, the TRX price is eyeing a move to its all-time high of $0.20.
The memecoin frenzy on Tron’s SunPump platform has also led to a huge surge in the Tron network’s daily revenue, with Justin Sun putting an ambitious target of $4 billion in the coming year. While bullish on his memecoin strategy, Sun suggests burning $1 billion of this revenue while allocating $2 billion to stakers and covering transaction fees.
