USDD’s overcollateralized and transparent on-chain model shows how a stablecoin can earn trust through verifiable information rather than assumptions.
Modern digital finance increasingly resembles a high-speed roadway: fast, efficient and constantly expanding. Yet no matter how advanced the vehicles become, trust still depends on the reliability of their safety features.
In the stablecoin market, that “seatbelt” is transparent collateral, independent oversight and rules that cannot be altered by any centralized actor.
The industry has seen how quickly confidence collapses when reserves are unclear or governance is concentrated. Terra’s UST depegged in 2022 after its algorithmic mechanism failed, costing billions. Later, HUSD suffered a sharp depeg amid concerns about its backing. And in November 2025, XUSD fell 77 percent after a reported 93 million dollar loss, showing how fast uncertainty around reserves can trigger a broader collapse in trust.
That shift has effectively set a new benchmark for any project aiming to maintain confidence through volatility, and projects that adapt early often set the tone for the broader market.
A good example of this change is USDD, a decentralized stablecoin that has changed its structure to focus on verifiable security. With its move to the 2.0 model, it no longer relies on algorithmic balancing tools. Instead, it uses a layered approach that includes independent audits, public on-chain data and a reserve model that is overcollateralized.
USDD’s strongest safeguard is its overcollateralized design. Since the rollout of USDD 2.0, the stablecoin has consistently held more collateral than the amount of USDD in circulation, with backing that comes from liquid assets such as TRX, sTRX and USDT. Recent figures point in the same direction. The value of the collateral pool grew by 5 percent last quarter, while the supply rose by about 3 percent, showing that the buffer supporting the stablecoin continues to build.
In early August 2025, USDD’s total collateral value peaked at more than $620 million. Soruce: Messari
Independent reviews also help strengthen confidence in USDD’s design. CertiK and ChainSecurity have completed five separate audits so far, examining everything from the smart contract code to the way collateral is managed and new tokens are minted. Additional reviews from Messari, Stablewatch and CertiK’s Skynet platform, which assigns USDD an AA score of 87.50, give users multiple layers of external validation when comparing stablecoins on security and transparency.
All contract balances, collateral assets and reserve ratios are publicly accessible through USDD’s contract addresses or the data page. No special permissions or closed dashboards are required.
The design of USDD's token also puts user control first. No central authority can freeze, pause, or change the asset. With no administrative keys in the system, USDD holders retain complete ownership from the moment the token enters their wallet. For many users, this eliminates one of the most common concerns associated with centralized stablecoins, especially given recent reports of sizable USDT freezes, including a case involving more than $44 million and another involving $12.3 million on the TRON network.
For everyday holders, the impact is straightforward. They can verify reserves, track collateral levels, confirm that no centralized party can alter or freeze the token, and rely on an audited, overcollateralized system designed to protect users at all times.
Understanding the difference between USDDOLD and USDD 2.0 is critical for users. USDDOLD operated as an algorithmic stablecoin under the TRON DAO Reserve. USDD 2.0, by contrast, is fully overcollateralized, on-chain and user-controlled. Anyone can mint USDD directly and verify all collateral on-chain.
This shift gives users far more control than before. They can mint USDD themselves and verify the collateral directly, something that was not possible under the earlier design. The updated model is also built to sustain itself over time. The Smart Allocator has already generated more than $5.8 million to date, reducing the system’s reliance on external subsidies and helping it support its operations more independently.

Smart Allocator adds another layer of protection for users following USDD’s long-term stability. It avoids high-risk tactics, limits exposure with predetermined investment caps, and deploys capital gradually and cautiously across well-audited platforms.
Liquidity is managed with caution so that funds are always within reach, and users can follow every movement directly on-chain. Smart Allocator’s activity is reviewed regularly by the USDD and JUST DAO teams, which helps keep returns sustainable and prevents the kind of hidden risks that have troubled other projects.
Stablecoins are under closer scrutiny than ever, and the projects that earn trust today are the ones that let users check things for themselves. USDD’s design reflects that shift. Its collateral is fully visible, its audits are public, its token cannot be altered by a central authority and its Smart Allocator is tightly supervised. Security becomes something users can confirm in practice, not something they are asked to take on faith.
Users can confirm the collateral behind every token, monitor reserve movements in real time and rely on a model that cannot be altered or frozen by a centralized actor. In practice, USDD turns security into a feature that users interact with directly, not a promise they must accept without visibility.
In a fast-moving market that often feels like a high-speed roadway, these verifiable safeguards work much like a seatbelt. For many users, the difference between promises and protections they can verify themselves is what ultimately builds long-term confidence in USDD.

‘Bitcoin Appears To Be Fighting One Battle After Another’
Nic Puckrin, crypto analyst and co-founder of The Coin Bureau, argues that the “crypto market has been struggling to regain momentum since October’s pandemonium.”
“Bitcoin appears to be fighting one battle after another, dragged down by US dollar strength and higher Treasury yields, long-term holders selling, and macro uncertainty,” he says.
Puckrin finds it “unsettling” to see crypto and tech stocks diverging when they typically move in lockstep. This dynamic shows that BTC “isn’t just a proxy for the Nasdaq.”
Rather, it’s more sensitive to macro headwinds and liquidity concerns and is “perfectly positioned to break out once those concerns dissipate.”
Notably, as the US re-opens and data starts flooding back in, “we may see the BTC price wobble over the coming weeks.”
The real test could be the interest rate decision in the US on 10 December. Still, “it remains likely that the news will be positive, which could set the stage for a Santa rally in crypto and other risk assets,” Puckrin concludes.
Moreover, Dom Harz, co-founder of BOB, commented on institutional involvement in BTC as the coin’s price drops below $100,000.
“Despite recent price movement, 2025 has been the year of institutional investment into digital assets, with institutions now holding over 4 million BTC,” Harz writes in an email commentary.
These institutions are “increasingly looking to store excess cash in DeFi vaults for higher-yield opportunities. These two movements are converging with Bitcoin DeFi; moving the world’s biggest digital asset beyond a store of value and into a yield-generating asset. “
He continues: “As this mainstream appetite for DeFi grows, serious technological advancements are unlocking Bitcoin’s utility. Key players in institutional crypto and Bitcoin DeFi adoption are opening up access to BTCFi, where institutions can leverage yield-bearing opportunities for their BTC holdings. Bitcoin DeFi is poised to be at the forefront of the global financial system – from Wall Street to Main Street.”
Levels & Events to Watch Next
At the time of writing on Friday morning, BTC fell below the $100,000 mark and to the $96,000 level, now standing at $97,033.
The coin has dropped from the intraday high of $103,737 to the low of $96,170. It’s now down 4.7% in a week, 13.7% in a month, and 22.9% from its all-time high.
We may see BTC pull back towards $94,500 and further towards the $90,000 level. A higher plunge could drag it lower. Conversely, if there is a change in course, the coin could climb back above $100,000 and move towards $103,000.Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: TradingView
Ethereum is currently changing hands at $3,208. It plunged from today’s high of $3,545 to the currently lowest point of $3,126.
Over this past week, it has been trading between $3,172 and $3,633. ETH is down 4.3% in a day, 22.2% in a month, and 35.1% from its ATH.
ETH may continue dropping today and over the next few days. Should that happen, it could retreat below the $3,000 level – far from the near-$5,000 zone where it stood just weeks ago. If there is a market rebound, the coin could return to the $3,500 territory and potentially $3,650.

Meanwhile, the crypto market sentiment has decreased again, holding firmly to the fear zone and moving to extreme fear. The crypto fear and greed index fell from 25 yesterday to 22 today.
Some investors are selling assets, driven by fear and worry over the continuously falling prices. If the market continues to ride this instability, it may decline further.
However, if assets are oversold, as high fear can sometimes indicate, the market could potentially see a rebound. Undervalued prices could also present a potential buying opportunity.Source: CoinMarketCap
ETFs See Significant Outflows
On Thursday, the US BTC spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $869.86 million in outflows, the highest since February 2025 and the second-highest on record. The total net inflow is back down to $60.21 billion, but it still stands above $60 billion.
Ten of the 12 BTC ETFs recorded negative flows, and there were no positive flows. Grayscale let go of $256.64 million. It’s followed by BlackRock’s $256.64 million. One more triple-digit is $119.93 million by Fidelity.Source: SoSoValue
At the same time, the US ETH ETFs continued their outflow streak, recording another $259.72 million leaving on 13 November. The total net inflow pulled back to $13.31 billion.
Five of the nine funds recorded outflows. There were no positive flows. BlackRock is the reddest among these, letting go of $137.31 million. Grayscale follows with $67.91 in outflows.Source: SoSoValue
Meanwhile, Canary Capital’s XRPC, the first US spot exchange-traded fund offering direct exposure to XRP, made its debut on Thursday with $58 million in trading volume.
Such notable opening performance indicates that there is a rising institutional appetite for exposure to other major assets, besides BTC and ETH.
Quick FAQ
Why did crypto move against stocks today?
