USDD being a decentralized algorithmic stablecoin will be under the influence of supplies of native cryptocurrency of the TRON network, TRX. The price of TRX token surged more than 15% after following the news directly and reached its three weeks highest point until trading at about $0.07183, while at the time of writing, it was trading at $0.6765.
There are roughly about 41.8 billion USDT stablecoins, out of its total circulation of about 351 billion, is circulating on the TRON blockchain. This amounts to about 2 billion coins more than Ethereum. Needless to mention that USDT, of Tether network, is the largest stablecoin in the overall crypto market in terms of total market capitalization and volume for now.
TRON is making a movement in order to collateralize an algorithmic stablecoin which will reflect the efforts of Do Kwon and Terra network as their ongoing progress to back their UST stablecoin with about $10 billion worth of Bitcoin.
A stablecoin is primarily a form of cryptocurrency that is backed by any fiat currency or asset which is comparatively more stable and provides stability to the cryptocurrency. Most stablecoins available in the crypto market are backed by US dollars. Such examples of stablecoins are USDT which is Tether’s stablecoin, USDC stablecoin of circle, DAI of MakerDAO and a lot more. In comparison to regular cryptocurrencies, stablecoins make more sense to use as actual currency as its value remains stable most of the time while keeping the advantages of being a digital currency which gives it faster transaction speed and decentralization like features.
