USDD Strablecoin DepeggingAs i warned you in the past article, TRX is about to collapse because of USDD:
According to their website, USDD is secured by the over-collateralization of multiple mainstream digital assets (e.g. TRX , BTC , and USDT). The total value of collateralized assets is significantly higher than that of USDD in circulation with the collateral ratio set at 120%.
This is the USDD collateral:
TRX 10,929,535,279
BTC 14,040.6 = about $313Mil
USDT 29,964,253
USDC 39,719,839
so besides TRX , the total amount of other collateral is $383Mil for a stablecoin that has a mk cap of $724Mil.
Now let`s say TRX drops to the Covid level of $0.0072, which is not unrealistic in my opinion.
Then the TRX collateral of 10,929,535,279 coin will be worth $78,692,654.
Assuming that BTC won`t go lower, then still the liquid collateral of USDD will be around $462Mil for a mk cap now of $724Mil, which will result in a huge depegging od the "stablecoin".
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Binance introduces USDC/USDT pair to help Circle CollapseAfter Luna`s stablecoin collapse, UST:
Now Binance, the biggest crypto exchange, recently introduced the USDC/USDT pair, and now it`s users are able to transform their USDC into Tether.
And let`s be honest, who wouldn`t to that amid this market uncertainty?!
On Saturday, the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin experienced a drop in value below its dollar peg and reached a historical low.
However, it later recuperated most of the losses after Circle, the company in charge of it, provided reassurance to investors that they would uphold the peg despite their connection to the struggling Silicon Valley Bank.
Circle stated in a tweet on Friday that $3.3 billion of their $40 billion in USDC reserves are held in Silicon Valley Bank!!
I think CZ listed this USDC/USDT pair on purpose, to generate a bank run out of its rival Circle, while they don`t have access to the full USDC liquidity.
Watch out for those Top 5 investors in Circle as well:
1. Goldman Sachs: Goldman Sachs was one of the earliest investors in Circle, participating in a $50 million funding round for the company back in 2015. Since then, the investment bank has continued to support Circle, participating in subsequent funding rounds and helping to promote the adoption of Circle's products.
2. Digital Currency Group: Digital Currency Group is a venture capital firm focused on investing in companies in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. The firm has invested in numerous companies in the industry, including Circle. Digital Currency Group participated in a $110 million funding round for Circle in 2018, and has continued to support the company since then.
3. Breyer Capital: Breyer Capital is a venture capital firm founded by Jim Breyer, a prominent investor in the technology industry. Breyer Capital has invested in a number of successful technology companies, including Facebook and Spotify. The firm participated in a $50 million funding round for Circle in 2015.
4. Accel: Accel is a global venture capital firm that has invested in numerous successful technology companies over the years, including Facebook, Dropbox, and Slack. Accel participated in a $60 million funding round for Circle in 2016.
5. Pantera Capital: Pantera Capital is a hedge fund focused on investing in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The firm has invested in numerous companies in the industry, including Circle.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in a small town. One day, her parents told her that they were going on a trip to another dimension, where the money was different. They explained that in that country, the money was worth more than it was in their own dimension.
When they arrived in the other place, Lily noticed that bitcoin seemed to cost more than they did back home. Her parents explained that even though the prices were higher in the other place, it was because the money there was more stable and valuable than the money in their own world.
Lily was fascinated by this idea and asked her parents why the money in the other dimension was worth more. They explained that it was because the other place had a strong economy and many valuable resources, which made their money more valuable to people around the world.
As they went about their travels, Lily began to notice that things cost different amounts in different places, even within the same world. Her parents explained that this was because some places had more valuable resources than others, which made their money more valuable.
Lily learned that the value of money could change depending on where you were, and that it was important to understand the value of money in different places. She was grateful for the opportunity to travel and learn about these things, and she looked forward to exploring more of the world and its many currencies.
