The Bank of Japan's decision tomorrow is dubbed a "definitive moment." This global third-largest central bank is about to break a decade-long easing cycle, and once it shifts, the consequences could be significant.



Looking at history: after the BOJ raised interest rates three times in the past, BTC experienced declines of -23%, -26%, and -31% respectively. This time, the impact could be even greater. Why? Because those arbitrage trades relying on cheap liquidity will collapse instantly, and risk assets will face a synchronized downturn.

Against this backdrop, many are guessing the direction and betting on rises or falls. My choice is entirely different — I am shifting my core holdings entirely into USDD.

The reason is quite simple: in extreme market conditions, only two types of assets can survive — those that react quickly enough or those that are stable enough. I choose stability.

My confidence in this choice comes from three points:

**Collateral base will not collapse.** USDD uses an over-collateralized model with a collateral ratio exceeding 130%, and on-chain data is fully transparent. Behind it is a real asset reserve worth hundreds of billions within the Tron ecosystem, including BTC, TRX, and others. Historically, it has never decoupled, and even in extreme conditions, it remains stable at $1.

**Continuous yields are obtainable.** Depositing USDD on the JustLend platform yields an annualized return of 8-12%; mining on SUN.io can generate over 15-25% returns. Think about it from another perspective: when the market crashes, others are losing principal, but you are earning interest.

**Liquidity is ample.** USDD is deployed across multiple chains, with a rich variety of trading pairs, allowing for easy entry and exit at any time. This is the lifeline of stablecoins and one of USDD's core advantages.
BTC-0.16%
USDD0.01%
TRX1.11%
SUN-0.69%

The Bank of Japan's move is quite aggressive. Looking at the historical data, BTC is heading for a sharp drop... However, projects relying on liquidity arbitrage should be crying.

The Bank of Japan's move is indeed aggressive. When liquidity tightens, there's no escaping it. Might as well settle in and buy stablecoins. The yield on USDD is pretty good, and at least it can withstand this wave of shocks.

Another textbook example of a stablecoin, it's making my ears callus... But to be honest, the Bank of Japan's move is indeed a bit harsh, and the historical data sitting there is truly frightening.

The Bank of Japan's move will cause all arbitrage positions to explode. Let's see who still dares to touch risk assets then... USDD remains stable, 130% collateralization makes for a peaceful sleep.
