Justin Sun prepares $2 billion to strke back after attack on Tron DAO
Monday, June 13 turned out to be a meltdown for everyone in crypto, but for Tron DAO, things got even worse. As became known at the very start of the day, USDD, Tron’s algorithmic stablecoin, temporarily lost its peg to the dollar. The event caused a corresponding reaction and affected the quotes of TRX, the network’s native token. Amid negative overall market conditions and further boosted by the USDD depeg, TRX fell over 16% in price.
Sun is ready to fight back
When things started to take a serious turn, Justin Sun, head of the Tron Foundation, appeared on the scene and made some important statements. He reported that the Tron DAO injected 700 million USDC to keep the USDD pegged to the dollar. Following the report, the stablecoin has now recovered and is trading at $0.99.
Earlier, Sun said the USDD will be 130% oversized so as not to repeat the path of TerraUSD (UST). You can monitor this indicator 24/7 in the public domain on the Tron DAO reserve website.
Despite the rebound in the peg, the TRX shorting flywheel is not stopping. Thus, Sun announced that TronDAO will direct $2 billion to combat negative funding on Binance and warned of an impending short-squeeze on TRX. Since then, TRX quotes have managed to show a small bounce, up 3%, but still remains nailed to the ground.
