TRON (TRX) founder Justin Sun has come out in defense of the network stablecoin, USDD. The digital asset began deppeging from the U.S. dollar value and hinted at another catastrophic event in the crypto market, like the one experienced by Terra (LUNA) and its native stablecoin UST.

At the time of writing, the value of TRON’s stablecoin has been climbing back to its 1:1 parity to the U.S. dollar. Earlier, the digital asset started trending to the downside forcing the TRON DAO Reserve, the entity responsible for protecting USDD’s peg, to deploy $2 billion.

This created an increase in selling pressure for TRX which moved to the downside on the back of this event, and a crypto market already trending to the downside along with traditional investments.

Justin Sun wrote the following via his Twitter account, at this time, TRX shorters had the opportunity to benefit from market conditions:

Funding rate of shorting TRX on Binance is negative 500% APR. Trondao Reserve will deploy 2 billion USD to fight them. I don’t think they can last for even 24 hours. Short squeeze is coming.

The TRON DAO Reserves continued to inject millions to protect the USDD peg to the U.S. dollar. Due to its mint and burn mechanism, the price of TRX broke below critical support levels but became more stable as USDD returned to its U.S. dollar parity.

In the last few hours, the entity in charge of protecting USDD claims it has increased the stablecoin’s collateralization to meet “extreme market conditions”. The collateralization rate reported by this entity stands above 300%. The entity wrote the following:

To safeguard the overall blockchain industry and crypto market, TRON DAO Reserve have increased 650,000,000 USDC supply on TRON. Currently USDC supply on TRON has reached $2.5 billion.

Who Is Buying TRX, Conditions For A Short Squeeze?

Data from Material Indicators shows thin support for TRX’s price as it approaches these levels. Currently, there are around $500,000 in bid orders with no extra support below.

This suggests TRX’s price could continue to see losses if bulls are unable to maintain current levels. Additional data from Material Indicators records an increase in selling pressure from small investors.

As seen below, retail investors (yellow and green on the chart) have been shaken out of their positions as TRX crashes. Larger investors seem more resilient and willing to buy into the current price action.

This could support a short squeeze scenario, as Sun claimed. However, the market continues to trend to the downside and could re-test lower levels.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
