What’s new? Amid the loss of parity to the dollar by the algorithmic stablecoin Neutrino USD (USDN), TRON blockchain CEO Justin Sun posted a tweet claiming 200% collateral on the USDD stable coin he issues. According to Sun, any user can check real-time data on the blockchain.

What else is known? In response to Sun’s call to verify the data, members of the crypto community began posting denials about the 200% collateral. Thus, a user under the nickname droidfate counted only 166,3%, calling on the TRON founder to explain.

A panelist under the nickname YJKim_Crypto wrote that Sun is misleading users because the real value of TRON’s (TRX) native tokens in the collateral of the stablecoin is only $476,8 million, not $725,3 million, as stated on the site.

On June 13 and November 10, the algorithmic stablecoin USDD lost parity to the dollar and was momentarily down to $0,97 on both occasions. As of December 12, 14:15 UTC, the asset ranks 57th in the cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $710,7 million, the rate is $0,979659 (+0,7% overnight), according to aggregator CoinGecko.
