Tron to Launch Revamped USDD 2.0 Stablecoin with 20% APY

Source Beincrypto

Justin Sun announced today that Tron will soon launch USDD 2.0, attempting to create a refreshed version of a former stablecoin.

Sun pledged that this asset will offer users 20% APY, entirely subsidized by Tron, which has “plenty of money.” A suspicious community remains wary of the firm’s previous failures, like USDD 1.0.

Tron Launches USDD 2.0 With Lofty Promises

Justin Sun, founder and former CEO of Tron, announced USDD 2.0 via social media. Although the firm tried to take precautions with the first incarnation of this stablecoin, it subsequently flopped and was removed from major exchanges.

Back in 2022, USDD offered 30% APY, which was later lowered due to market challenges. Most recently, in August last year, Tron DAO Reserve withdrew approximately 12,000 Bitcoin from USDD’s collateral without prior approval from its DAO.

This move shifted the stablecoin’s backing primarily to Tron’s native token, TRX, raising concerns about the asset’s stability and transparency.

Most importantly, the stablecoin lost its dollar peg several times in the past two years. USDD still serves as a cautionary tale of Sun’s failures in the community. So, the community isn’t wrong to question the new project. Nonetheless, the company is trying again.

“USDD 2.0 is about to launch with a 20% APY, fully subsidized by Tron. All interest will be sent in advance to a transparent address. There’s no other reason—it’s simply because we have plenty of money. So, stop asking me questions like ‘where does the yield come from,’” Sun stated.

To be fair, these claims of 20% APY on a stablecoin are concerning. Sun doubtlessly controls substantial capital resources; he invested $30 million into Trump’s World Liberty Financial in late November. However, if Tron pays out USDD users from its own cash reserves, it’s unclear how the company would actually profit.

Tron’s native token TRX hit an all-time high about a month ago, but its volatility might not be sustainable enough to back a stablecoin. In fact, TRX has endured a steady decline in the intervening weeks, although dedicated investors are showing resilience.

In other words, potential investors have many questions before trusting Tron to recreate USDD. Whether or not the company has enough money to subsidize this launch, it simply can’t shovel money into the project forever.

At some point, the company will need to actually benefit from an offer that seems too good to be true.
