TRON Surges on Stablecoin News
TRON is entering the stablecoin market with the launch of USDD.
TRX jumped by more than 18% over the past few hours after TRON founder Justin Sun announced the launch of the “most decentralized stablecoin in human history.” Dubbed USDD, the TRON-native stablecoin will be pegged to TRX and aims to achieve on-chain decentralization by not relying on any entities for redemption, management, and storage.
In an open letter, Sun explained that “when USDD’s price is lower than 1 USD, users and arbitrageurs can send 1 USDD to the system and receive 1 USD worth of TRX.” He also mentioned that “when USDD’s price is higher than 1 USD, users and arbitrageurs can send 1 USD worth of TRX to the decentralized system and receive 1 USDD.” The goal is to keep USDD stable at 1:1 against the US dollar via “proper algorithms” regardless of the market volatility.
According to Sun, USDD is set to launch on the TRON network on May 5 and will also be available on Ethereum and BNB Chain through the BTTC cross-chain protocol.
TRX saw a significant spike in bullish impulse following the announcement. The token jumped from a low of $0.063 to a high of $0.075 within a few hours. Further gains can be expected if TRON can slice through the upper boundary of a parallel channel at $0.077 that developed on its daily chart.
Slicing through such a critical resistance barrier could encourage sidelined investors to reenter the market, pushing TRON to $0.088. But if the buying pressure is strong enough, TRX could advance toward $0.10.
It is worth noting that TRON must continue to trade above $0.068 for the bullish outlook to be validated. Failing to do so could see traders exit their long positions, pushing TRX to the channel’s lower edge at $0.059.
