TRON DAO’s plan to defend USDD

The TRON DAO reserve was recently in the headlines for acquiring $38 million worth of TRX, BTC, and Tether in order to protect its own stablecoin. This defensive move is on the go amidst last week’s market chaos related to Terra and UST. TRON’s dollar-pegged stablecoin resembles Terra’s UST because of its algorithm base. This triggered a lot of the market observes as they visualized a similar trend that might fall in line with the Terra disaster.

A twitter user, xflies commented, “Algorithmic “stable” coin, attention, you can lose all of your investment!”

“Becarefull ust tragedy…” said another.

The USDD price today is around $1 USD with a market cap of approximately $302 million USD. The stablecoin suffered a minor dip of 0.3% in the last 24hours.
