Notably, Tron which debuted last month as the USDD algorithmic stablecoin – is seen to avoid troubles its fellow token TerraUSD faced while boosting transparency and adding collateral.
As per the Tron Dao Reserve website, the total market cap of Tron-based stablecoins’ stands at $42.02 billion currently. It has a Tether USD supply of 38.74 billion, while a Decentralised USD supply of 667.52 million, USD Coin supply of over 1.98 billion, TrueUSD supply of 387.45 million, and 265.61 million.
The TRA data showed that Tron has reserves of over $785.90 million in Bitcoin, Tether, and Tron’s TRX. Further, the stable coin has a collateralization ratio of 217.79% at the present.
Tron founder Justin Sun said in a recent interview said, “This has been in the plan, but Terra/Luna definitely accelerated and prioritized this for our team,” as reported by Bloomberg.
Sun added, “We want to have USDD to be overcollateralized, which I think will make market participants more comfortable about using us in the future.”
The announcement comes after TerraUSD made a hysteric collapse last month. This led to a deep selloff in other stable coins with Tron also facing the heat. Tron’s whose market capitalisation earlier was $60 billion has nosedived significantly.
In the interview, Sun said, last month that the Terra/Luna collapse offered a chance for other projects to adjust, and that USDD would aim to raise $10 billion through TDR to defend its peg.
Algorithmic stablecoins which often were believed to have a constant price of $1, however, took a downturn and erased their peg last month dampening investors sentiments in them.
On CoinMarketCap, Tron trades at $0.08183 up 2.83%. It ranks 13th in terms with a market cap of more than $7.62 billion. It has a circulating supply of 93.22 billion TRX coins and the maximum supply is not available.
