1/ As @trondao's $USDD returned to peg following the Q2 chaos, supply growth stagnated.

A positive growth metric was the number of wallets holding $USDD which saw 5x growth over Q3.

The increased adoption is needed for $USDD supply and $TRX value.🧵
2/ ~$USDD supply / $TRX Deposit

9B $TRX was deposited in the first 5 months of $USDD's launch.

$USDD supply increased 0.2% in Q3, leaving room for growth.

$USDD has also expanded to @Binance and @Ethereum.
3/ ~Reserves

$USDD appears sufficiently backed by non-native collateral in the form of $BTC, $USDT, and $USDC.

While not included in collateral backing due to its reflexive nature, the @trondao Reserve (TDR) could sell $725M of TRX to back $USDD.
4/ ~Adoption

Average wallets leveled out at 120K wallets, with an average value held around 6,000 $USDD.

The cumulative volume of #USDD traded was over 6.2B.

The floor of average daily transactions was around 400.
5/ ~Peg and Location

To maintain its peg, USDD primarily uses Peg Stability Module (PSM). The TDR can also mint or burn $USDD to help maintain peg.

Since launch, the PSMs have done over 1B dollars in volume, partnering with @MultichainOrg to get liquidity on other chains.
6/ ~Qualitative Analysis

From launch through Q3, @trondao adjusted native interest rates, the PSM was put in place to allow $USDD to maintain peg, and the TDR has been working to drive adoption through rewards and $USDD trading pair offerings on CEXs.
7/ So far, @trondao's $USDD remains comfortably over-collateralized by a basket of #Bitcoin and other stablecoins.

6 hot takes for 2025 🧵
Hyperliquid's Outperformance May Be Over - @AvgJoesCrypto

On Dec. 30, 2023: 1 BTC = 396 SOL. A year later, 1 BTC = 493 SOL. Despite the 2024 buzz, SOL lagged BTC.

At $27B FDV, HYPE is:
- 1/4 of SOL's FDV.
- 1/2 of $COIN's MC.
- Equal to $FTT's peak FDV.

Hyperliquid will be a dominant narrative in 2025, but the market might have anticipated it in Q4.Image
VIRTUAL FDV to flip TAO FDV within three months - @0xSynthesis1

TAO has ~ $3.3M in emissions daily and will probably stay flattish in USD until dTAO fixes constant supply pressure.

Meanwhile more and more VIRTUAL continues to be locked in agent LPs and spent on inference.

The market has identified a new AI proxy and will re-rate accordingly.Image

$21T is needed to transition the grid to clean energy by 2050 due to CO2 goals & rising demand.

Challenges:
1️⃣ Rapid, cost-effective capacity scaling.
2️⃣ Integrating decentralized energy resources into an outdated grid.

Navigate the DePIN Energy Sector with @dylangbane🧵 Image
Solar is now the world's cheapest energy source.

But, the fossil fuel-based grid isn't ideal for clean, decentralized energy sources like solar, wind, and batteries.

DePIN protocols can help:

⚡ Incentivize DER deployment

⚡ Enhance grid coordination via VPPs/DRPs

⚡ Tokenize DERs/carbon credits for better liquidity and transparencyImage
Global spending on solar now exceeds $500 billion annually, yet it's insufficient.

By 2030:
- Energy capacity spending must double.
- Electrification spending must triple.

We're running out of time, and DePIN is the fastest way to deploy the clean energy infrastructure needed. Image

Liquidity fragmentation across blockchains is one of DeFi's largest challenges, leading to high costs and low capital utilization.

@EverclearOrg introduces the first Clearing Layer to solve liquidity fragmentation. Let's explore what Everclear is and why it matters 🧵 Image
The Problem 🔎

Fragmented liquidity between chains leads to high costs & low capital utilization for solvers, market makers, & CEXs. Rebalancing is complex, costly, and often slow.

As the number of chains grows, so do rebalancing requirements. A better solution is needed.
What is Everclear? 🤔

Everclear (prev. Connext) is the first Clearing Layer - a decentralized network coordinating global liquidity settlement between chains. Through netting, Everclear reduces the cost and complexity of rebalancing liquidity between chains.
