HTX Releases In-Depth Research Report on USDD: Clear Differentiation Advantages, Now in Mature Competitive Phase

Recently, HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, released the “In-Depth Research Report on USDD,” offering a systematic assessment of USDD’s current developmental stage across multiple dimensions—including mechanism design, ecosystem foundation, security architecture, and market positioning—and assigning it a positive rating.

The report states that USDD completed a critical architectural upgrade in early 2025, transitioning from its earlier reserve-backed algorithmic stabilization mechanism to an over-collateralized model governed by community-based governance. This shift has significantly reduced systemic risk and marks USDD’s formal entry into the same maturity tier as Sky/USDS (formerly MakerDAO/DAI) in stablecoin design.

Distinctive Dual-Layer Stability Framework and Yield Ecosystem

At the mechanism level, USDD combines its over-collateralization system with a zero-slippage Price Stability Module (PSM), establishing one of the most mature dual-layer stability frameworks in today’s DeFi landscape. The PSM introduces external stablecoin reserves to enable 1:1, zero-slippage swaps between USDD and USDT or USDC, allowing price deviations to self-correct automatically through arbitrage—thus forming a market-driven, intervention-free stabilization pathway.

Meanwhile, the report highlights that USDD’s evolution in yield mechanisms constitutes a key differentiator from traditional stablecoins. Through Smart Allocator, collateral assets are allocated—within controlled risk parameters—to high-quality external protocols, with generated yields distributed to sUSDD holders. This transforms USDD from a purely value-anchored instrument into a yield-bearing on-chain asset. Designed to mirror sDAI, this model leverages a multi-strategy approach—including staking, liquidity provision, and recycling strategies—to form a relatively comprehensive yield ecosystem.

Multi-Chain Deployment Enables Tiered Application Scenarios

At the infrastructure level, USDD adopts a native multi-chain deployment strategy, operating independent smart contracts on TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. The report notes that, compared to expansion models reliant on cross-chain bridges, this design effectively avoids systemic risks inherent in “lock-and-mint” mechanisms. Moreover, differing user compositions across chains facilitate tiered distribution of liquidity and use cases.

The report further emphasizes USDD’s high degree of synergy with the TRON ecosystem. As one of the world’s most active public blockchains for stablecoin usage, TRON consistently leads in transaction volume and user engagement. Its strong penetration in Southeast Asia and the Middle East provides USDD with stable, real-world usage scenarios possessing clear expansion potential. Against this backdrop, USDD—TRON’s sole decentralized native stablecoin—holds a clearly defined and advantageous ecosystem position.

Differentiated Pathway Enables Greater Application Value

Regarding security and transparency, the report notes that since the USDD 2.0 upgrade, it has undergone multiple audits jointly conducted by ChainSecurity and CertiK, with all audit reports publicly available. Additionally, collateral composition, yield allocation, and liquidation data are all verifiable on-chain in real time. This “minimal-trust” mechanism carries significant differentiation within today’s stablecoin landscape and serves as a crucial reference point for institutional participation.

Based on the above analysis, the report concludes that USDD has successfully transitioned from its “mechanism exploration phase” to its “mature competition phase.” Within the decentralized stablecoin sector, USDD not only matches DAI in mechanism design but also establishes a hard-to-replicate, differentiated pathway across multi-chain deployment, yield modeling, and ecosystem synergy.

The report also points out that, as multi-chain expansion continues and the TRON ecosystem grows further, USDD’s strategic standing in the global stablecoin market is poised for sustained enhancement—demonstrating greater application value in exchange product integration and emerging-market expansion.
