●Scalability: $946M Peak TVL reached in weeks.
●User Experience: Integration into the world's largest exchange ecosystem (Binance Web3 Wallet).
●Liquidity: Utilizing PSM for zero-slippage 1:1 swaps.
As we enter Phase 2, we are seeing a flight to transparency. With 5 audits and a decentralized over-collateralization model, USDD is proving that algorithmic to decentralized transitions can provide institutional grade stability with DeFi grade returns.

Great news for the ecosystem. Tether has just minted 1 billion USDT on the TRON network, marking the first major liquidity move of 2026
