Instead of focusing on just gaming or NFTs, they’re building a full ecosystem: shopping rewards, Play-to-Earn gaming, NFT webtoons, and a crypto payment system — all using $MEA. What caught my eye was the merchant-friendly payment feature with automatic MEA → USDT conversion. It’s simple but solves a problem most crypto payment projects ignore. Still early, but the project’s direction makes sense. Has anyone else tried MECCA or is following their ecosystem growth? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Didn’t know T-bill interest pays out in USDT now

TrustInNumbers

They printed USDT and bought BTC, what "profit"? there is no proof of that.

Chuu

If you believe that a large part of the current bitcoin ecosystem is built on fraud, essentially Tether is printing USDT without $USD backing, then it probably can. As long as noone calls their bluff there is nothing stopping them to keep buying bitcoin.

Priya-SIngh123

Totally get the confusion—stablecoins like USDC/USDT are just digital dollars pegged to $1 for crypto stability. - Earn 8-10% by lending them out in DeFi; money comes from borrowers paying interest (like banks but decentralized). - Purpose: Quick trades, borderless transfers without volatility. - Risks: Hacks or depegs, so start small. Yieldseeker on BASE is one hands-off option for yields—among others. What’s your friend saying?

Keeta is trash but USDC > USDT

tldr; Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, added approximately $800 million worth of Bitcoin to its reserves on January 2, 2026, as Bitcoin traded near $89,000. This move aligns with Tether's policy of allocating up to 15% of quarterly net profits to Bitcoin purchases, funded by income from U.S. Treasury bills. While Tether emphasizes that Bitcoin is not used for USDT redemptions, the addition raises questions about the balance-sheet risks of holding volatile assets. The company did not disclose specific details about the purchase or custody arrangements. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Haha, this image kills me every time. The Grim Reaper knocking on the 420th door labeled “90k” like *“you again??”* while BTC’s like *“sorry bro, not today”*… classic. Honestly, this endless range finished me. I packed up my moon dreams and switched to full zombie mode: one tiny BTC/USDT or SOL trade per day just to tick the boxes for the Trading Club Championship on Bitget and collect some leftover BGB crumbs. At least it rewards my legendary laziness 😅

this subreddit always had a hard on for Nano. In my experience, most people (i mean retail who has crypto) pay with stablecoins. USDT on Tron is an outlier, for some reason people love paying with it/

$800M is wild but makes sense when you look at their balance sheet. they print USDT backed by treasury bonds and BTC now basically

I have almost 15,000 USDT in a wallet that I saved its 12-words in Lastpass. The stupid me memorized lastpass master-password by memorizing the location and order of the keys on the keyboard on my MacBook and not the accual password. When I switched to Ubuntu on PC, the same keys order on the keyboard didn't work !

tldr; Tether added 8,888 BTC to its treasury in Q4 2025, as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its Bitcoin reserves. The stablecoin issuer accumulated a total of 9,850 BTC during the quarter, valued at approximately $876 million. Tether now holds 96,185 BTC worth $8.42 billion, positioning its wallet as the fifth-largest globally. The company views Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset and uses profits to increase its holdings. Additionally, Tether has expanded USDT activity, including a $1 billion mint on the TRON network, reflecting its growing role in remittances and payments. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

USDT s a trojan horse for crypto. Their worthless issue of infinite digital Fíat is inflating btc price.. As soon as USDT falls after some leak leading to a scandal btc will call back to 30k$

jschram84

Tether making massive BTC purchases while being one of the most opaque major financial entities in crypto is... a choice. Like cool, they have a policy of allocating profits to Bitcoin, but maybe address the years of questions about whether their reserves actually back all the USDT in circulation first? The math in that other comment about their profit margins not adding up to what you'd expect from treasury holdings is exactly the kind of thing that should make people nervous. Not saying it's definitely shady, but "trust us we're buying bitcoin with our totally legitimate profits" from a company that's dodged proper audits for years isn't exactly reassuring

Quirky-North3480

If you can't get USDT at a good price first, MemeCoins or AltCoins won't be very useful.

doyzer9

Even though USDT (Tether) runs on public blockchains like Ethereum, it includes a blacklist/freeze function in the token contract that only the issuer (Tether) controls. When Tether adds an address to that blacklist: The address can no longer send or receive USDT — the tokens are stuck there until/unless Tether decides to remove the block or take further action (like destroy and reissue or hand them to authorities). The ETH address itself isn’t frozen at the blockchain level — only the USDT balance is frozen. Other tokens (ETH, other ERC‑20s) can still move. This is a centralized control measure, not something enforced by the Ethereum protocol. Basically a result of stealing assets control via a centralised network...

-5H4Z4M-

I see only 3,397.25 USDT.

TrustInNumbers

It's not even fiat, they're just issuing fresh batch of USDT and buying BTC with that - it's free purchase for them, no brainer to do when you think about it.

BoringPrinciple2542

Why match new regulations? Just announce the creation of USAT which will meet the new regulations…. I mean of course USDT already does meet those regulations but you can verify it with USAT! Meanwhile they can print money and exchange it for “real” assets. That $1bil minted on Tron the other day could be used to buy $1bil worth of bitcoin then you just add the bitcoin to your treasury and the Monopoly money is now collateralized. It’s all fun until a bubble burst and the 2008 crisis looks like child’s play.

Critical_Trade_1411

No shame—stablecoins like USDC/USDT are basically digital bucks pegged to $1, so no price pumps, but they're for parking cash in crypto without volatility swings. - Use them to lend in DeFi (e.g., Aave) where borrowers pay you interest—hence 5-10% yields vs. bank zilch. - Money comes from demand: traders borrow for leverage. - Risks: hacks, depegs—not FDIC safe. Yieldseeker on BASE automates USDC yields in beta as one easy entry. Worth dipping a toe?

>Digitized money in my account is insured and private. "Only" up to $250,000 and only if the bank fails not if you make a mistake. The former is recourse for trusting a centralized organization with your funds which obviously doesn't apply to crypto and the latter is no different than how crypto operates with respect to making a mistake. >There absolutely is government oversight on stablecoins. They will freeze your funds at the request of authorities. It already is happening. That's true but it's not that cut and dry. For example it's well known that Chinese use USDT to skirt capital controls in China. Most of those cases involve USDC and there are several stablecoins that you could use to transfer funds without risk of them getting frozen. USDe for example is a decentralized cryptocurrency that can be used without fear of any governmental oversight.

tldr; Tether (USDT) purchased 8,888 Bitcoin worth $779 million in Q4 2025, continuing its strategy of allocating 15% of quarterly profits to Bitcoin reserves. This marks the third such purchase in 2025, with the same amount of Bitcoin acquired each quarter. The number 8,888 is culturally significant in Asian markets, symbolizing prosperity. Tether's Bitcoin accumulation is part of its reserve diversification strategy, which also includes U.S. Treasury securities and gold. The company is now one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Happy New Year everyone. Take a look at the USDT 1 month chart. Concerning for the ecosystem, USDC seems to hold the peg better as of late. Think it's wise to be $CRCL on shocks to crypto. That and continue to stack BTC. Good luck in the new year all! May it bring health and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

I'd cut my loses already. Cardano is one of the most disappointing blockchains in all of crypto, especially given its current marketcap (and its previous ATH placing it at #3). It promised a lot, and delivered little to nothing. It's slow, expensive, low volume, low revenue, low usage, no native USDC/USDT, I could go on.

BoringPrinciple2542

It’s not exactly hyperbole but it’s definitely warping the facts. CBDCs are the only feasible way to end digital counterfeiting by stablecoin issuers. They can be misused but so can every other form of crypto. I mean it’s really not hard for any 1st/2nd world country to identify every one of your wallets (even with privacy coins), freeze every CEX account you have, and blacklist you from crypto cards like the ones issued by Visa. So effectively the control argument is moot. The real anger here is people who lack critical thinking skills who regurgitate what they hear from the influencers who think for them. Those people in turn are controlling the narrative so that institutions like USDD, USDT, TUSD, etc which produce billions in profit while contributing to inflation of the USD by running unregulated money printers.

Altruistic-Raise-579

Stable in name but not in essence, USDT represents a fragile illusion. Bitcoin is the immutable ledger, the real hedge, and the true anchor of the decentralized financial world.

Round-Writer-8762

Gradually buy USDT where it's cheap and accessible and gradually swap into Bitcoin, which can be done non-kyc, if you prefer. But every large buy/sell is better off being done gradually.

The process is about the same: you send Euros to them from Revolut or any other bank and you can then trade the Euros from Binance account against any crypto they are paired with. If there isn’t a direct pair, an additional step is needed, to buy USDC first, as they replaced USDT with USDC these days for the users in the EU.

GBeastETH

What country do you live in? In the US you would pay income tax on the funds, but no capital gains tax. Particularly since USDT is pegged to $1 gains are essentially impossible. But even if you were paid in ETH, if you sell it as soon as you have it, you have no gains or losses.

Screenshot from Arkham’s alert: (Imagine the typical Arkham screenshot here showing the transaction from the Tether Treasury – $1B USDT minted at zero fees on TRON) This is one of the routine but massive mints we’ve seen throughout 2025. For context: • USDT circulating supply is now hovering around 190 billion (per CoinGecko and Tether transparency data). • Tron has become the go-to chain for these big issuances thanks to near-zero fees. • These mints are typically “authorized but not issued” – meaning they’re for inventory replenishment based on real fiat deposits, and the tokens get deployed when exchanges/institutions need them. Historically, big USDT mints like this have been a bullish liquidity signal. Fresh stablecoins often flow to exchanges, fueling trading, DeFi, or year-end positioning. We’ve seen patterns where BTC and alts get a boost shortly after (though not always immediate – depends on where the USDT actually lands). With markets thin over the holidays and BTC consolidating, this could be dry powder for some action heading into 2026. Or just normal operations in a growing stablecoin ecosystem. What do you think? • Bullish precursor? 🚀 • Just business as usual? 🤷‍♂️ • Still skeptical on Tether reserves/transparency? (Fair, attestations are quarterly but full audits remain a debate) Sources: • Arkham Intelligence alert • CoinGecko USDT page (confirms recent mint and supply) • On-chain trackers like Whale Alert/Lookonchain Discuss below!

**Stop calling it "safe." Holding stablecoins is a guaranteed loss.** We have been conditioned to believe that lack of volatility equals stability. It’s the greatest financial illusion of our time. When you hold USDT or USDC, you feel safe because $1 always equals $1. But the ship you are tethered to—the US Dollar—is sinking. Holding stablecoins is signing up for a guaranteed 3% to 5% loss of purchasing power every single year due to monetary debasement. That is not stability; it is a slow-motion crash. **Bitcoin is different. Yes, it’s volatile. It’s a lifeboat rocking violently in a storm. It looks scary.** But ask yourself: Would you rather be comfortably seated on a sinking ocean liner, or seasick in the only lifeboat that is actually floating on the rising tide of global liquidity? **True stability isn’t a fixed price. It’s fixed supply.** It's time to rethink what "safe" means.

It’s just another market like gold or crude oil at this point. I don’t think it really affects the dollar. The more interesting question is how stables affect the dollar, as USDC and USDT circulate widely around the world.

Post is by: Sufficient_Fuel5269 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pzqqto/1_billion_usdt/ Tether has just issued this amount, significantly increasing the supply of this stablecoin. These tokens are backed 1:1 by reserves in Tether's treasury. The creation of such a large amount of USDT can increase market liquidity, facilitating more transactions and potentially influencing market movements. Some analysts speculate that this new capital could be used to buy Bitcoin or other large-cap cryptocurrencies, which could boost their prices. However, if the funds are not used immediately, the impact on price could be limited in the short term. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

USDT has almost nothing to do with BTC and its price.

USDT running a .998 handle... USDC has been trading at a premium to USDT for some weeks now. Think CRCL a good bet and if USDT becomes impaired I really think we'll see BTC closer to $40k for a brief period before USDC fills the void and we slowly climb back in 2H 2026 into 2027.

Korea’s market is still weirdly unique: even now, majors like BTC, ETH, XRP, and sometimes USDT can trade about 1–2% higher on Korean exchanges than on global exchanges — the “Kimchi Premium.” On paper it looks like easy arbitrage. In reality, as a Korean resident it feels almost impossible to capture consistently because of: - Fiat/banking rails and transfer limits - Fees + slippage + timing risk - The friction of moving funds between Korea and offshore exchanges The hype around Kimchi Premium arbitrage is way smaller than it used to be, but I still see these small spreads and I’m trying to figure out what’s actually doable today. Quick questions (trying to keep this practical + legit): 1) For someone living in Korea, what arbitrage setups (if any) still work in 2025? 2) Is there a realistic way to capture a 1–2% spread after all fees/limits, or is it basically noise now? 3) What “arb-adjacent” strategies make more sense today? (e.g., funding/derivatives basis, transfer-routing, exchange-specific inefficiencies) 4) If you’ve done it: what broke first — banking limits, fees, execution speed, or something else? 5) What’s the minimum capital/volume where this stops being a waste of time?

My suggestion: Buy USDT and wait for Bitcoin to drop before gradually exchanging your USDT for Bitcoin. This will reduce your anxiety about Bitcoin fluctuations. Websites like SideSwap allow you to exchange USDT for Bitcoin. I also suggest reading the book: Bitcoin - The Money Revolution, published by the community www.bitcoinsolidario.org. Essential reading for anyone who wants to delve deeper into Bitcoin.

Globally, people should stay away from CEX and move to non-custodial OTC & DEX solutions... - For on & off ramping FIAT to USDT/USDC & vice-versa, one may use r/USDTexchange or r/USDCexchange sub. - For futures/perps trading, one may use **HyperLiquid/Lighter/Aster/EdgeX** (just Google these terms). *p.s.

I’m not entirely sure if you understand how the loan works so I’ll put it simply. You never get “loaned” money in the tradition sense, you don’t have access to your bitcoin collateral. You put say $1000 of Bitcoin, and get $750 of USDT with a high interest rate. It can be useful if you need cash that you know you can pay back, without having to rebuy your bitcoin at a higher price.

Also, if you see any other coins promising to buy based on long-term profit, please suggest with your suggestions. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; Changpeng Zhao, Binance founder, is focusing on BNB Chain, stablecoin 2.0, and prediction markets as part of his 2025 strategy. He emphasizes the development of native, yield-bearing stablecoins beyond the traditional USDT model and supports projects through YZi Labs. BNB Chain has seen significant growth in users and transaction volume, becoming a key blockchain network. Zhao also highlights the potential of prediction markets and advocates for long-term, mission-driven innovation in the blockchain space. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

It did happen. CZ spoke about it. Basically, they have a USD1 deposit bonus and USD1 traded at a premium relative to USDT. There was some arbitrage scenario going on that sent the price to $24k before more arbitragers sent the price back to the $87k mark

partyproperwebhook

Interesting. My code tells me that the true value of BTC is 37k USDT. I am still waiting.

PresentLiner

You might use Aave. You lend BTC and get USDT/USDT and do whatever you want with it. Also make sure you copy paste your wallet address into a portfolio tracker like CoinStats to track your health score and make sure you don't get liquidated buddy

ohhhh I've seen that a few times in the last few years. Those huge wicks usually signify that a major trend change is incoming. we have had 2 other instances of such wicks occurring in the past. one to the upside in 2023, a few months before the bullrun really took off and one to the downside in October of 2021, right before the bear market began. Both on the Binance.us USDT pair back then. Both of those wicks were filled about 90%, so in this instance this would mean that the absolute bear market bottom is likely gonna be a little bit below 40k. So guys, prepare yourselves, bear market incoming in 2026 :D Not gonna drop like a rock immediately (in fact a push above 100k in the short term would be cool to trap some of the moonboys) but that wick gives you the overall direction Bitcoin will likely take. :)

**How much can you actually borrow?** Most platforms will allow you to borrow about 80% of the value you put up as collateral. **What happens if Bitcoin price drops?** If it hits a liquidation level hits they cash you out, no more loan, but also no more Bitcoin. So keep your LTV ratio at a comfortable level to avoid this. **What are the interest rates like?** Usually flexible, changing by the day or even hour. You also don't usually get USD or EUR but you borrow a stable coin. I have seen interest rates for BTC USDT pair go as high as 120% APR. **Which platforms actually do this?** Many, besides the ones you mentioned, Binance, ByBit, probably most other major exchanges. **Is this actually better than just selling?** It can be, but only if Bitcoin decently outpaces it's gains compared to the interest rate you are being charged. Hope that helps, merry Christmas.

2 day bearish divergence forming on USDT.D & billions of liquidity above. I believe it’s only a matter of time 🚀

Move away BTC, USDT and the shiny yellow rock are better store of value 😎

USDT can be frozen tho isnt this risky

Buy USDT and hold. You'll win.

VinchenzoLeSluge

Using USDT to dodge sanctions is pretty clever but the liquidity issue is going to bite them eventually. Can't exactly offload billions in stablecoins without raising red flags. The GDP bump is real though, so something's working for now.

>Venezuela collects 80% of oil sales revenue in USDT https://www.cryptopolitan.com/venezuela-collects-80-oil-revenue-in-usdt/ Unfortunately they are regards and should accept BTC or something else instead as payment as that's a lot harder to freeze. But this has helped them keep their oil economy going through sanctions. This is proof that there are use cases for crypto. Depending on whether you think the US is the bully here or not you may find this objectionable. But the truth is that people will continue to look for alternative financial channels outside of a world of USD and fiat.

SilasX

Correct, but a freeze on USDT/C can't target the DAI holder without hurting every DAI user.

> USDT is widely accepted as a store of value If USDT is "a store of value" than so are USD.

ie485

DAI is backed by - get this - USDC and USDT (mostly)

Tiny_Standard_5358

I think that's partly true; I'm not entirely sure. Because then why would they accept USDT if they can't liquidate their holdings, and why would they use it internally within the country?

Tiny_Standard_5358

That means that China gives them USDT for the purchase of crude, and then Venezuela simply uses it as a mechanism for exchange control and internal distribution, feeding a domestic market where USDT is widely accepted as a store of value and a means of payment?

Tiny_Standard_5358

Basically, the Venezuelan government's use of USDT is a measure to avoid using the U.S. dollar, since being under sanctions makes it very difficult to obtain, just as it is for North Korea, it is also for Venezuela. Furthermore, I think a portion of the USDT that Venezuela obtains through crude oil sales is used within the domestic economy by allocating it to private banks in Venezuela, and then they sell it to companies. This way, companies protect themselves from the hyperinflation of the Bolivar by using USDT.

In the last year, USDT lost over 15% of its value relative to EURC and more than 40% relative to XAUT/PAXG.

tldr; Venezuela collects 80% of its crude oil sales revenue in Tether’s USDT, as revealed by economist Asdrubal Oliveros. The country uses stablecoins to sustain its oil economy amidst U.S. sanctions, which have been in place since 2019. Oil production has risen to 1 million barrels per day, with most revenue coming from China. However, Venezuela faces challenges in liquidating its stablecoin holdings due to regulatory controls. Despite sanctions, the country's GDP grew from $102.38 billion in 2023 to $119.81 billion in 2024. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

They probably want to pay you in USDT on the Tron network (TRC-20) or Ethereum network (ERC-20). I would recommend Metamask, Trust Wallet or Phantom as a decent wallet to use. Crypto wallets are not like bank accounts - when you generate one, only the person with the corresponding private key (usually shown to the user as a 'seed phrase' - a combination of 12 or 24 words) can move funds in that wallet. You have to guard this seed phrase with your life - if it's compromised you can and will lose everything on that wallet. Do not save it online. Write it down on paper and keep it somewhere safe. Assuming they pay in USDT, this is a dollar-pegged token. You can create an account on an exchange like coinbase or kraken etc and send the USDT there to swap for traditional bank dollars and withdraw them your bank account. I would recommend doing a small test deposit on the exchange in order to ensure that you got it right before sending the full amount!

I tried both and they are more or less the same. I stuck with USDT-M though

Post is by: 0xDaisypto and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pt58bs/has_anyone_actually_stuck_with_usdcmargined/ I’ve been seeing more talk about USDC-margined perps lately, but I’m not sure how meaningful the shift really is. On paper, USDC margin and settlement look cleaner. Less noise from the margin asset itself, clearer PnL, better risk tracking. That all makes sense. In volatile markets though, I’m not convinced it plays out that differently from USDT-M. Funding rates, liquidations, and execution still seem to be what actually matters, not the margin token. Bitunix recently rolled out USDC-M perpetuals with a decent set of pairs. While looking into how these contracts work, I came across their explanation. It’s clear enough, but it doesn’t really answer the bigger question for me. For anyone who’s traded USDC-M perps for more than just a few sessions: 1. did you stick with them or end up switching back? 2. did they genuinely help with risk or PnL clarity? 3. or does everything feel the same once markets get choppy? Trying to figure out what actually holds up in real trading versus what just sounds good in theory. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Looking to buy USDT (TRC20) with cash only. I’m interested in a face-to-face cash purchase, no apps, no bank transfers, and no online platforms. If you know a trusted person or a safe location where this is possible, please DM me with details. Serious leads only.

Fair take — BTC vs gold is really about portability, liquidity, and how easily you can actually *use* your value in a digital world. That’s why I keep BTC as BTC, but manage and spend it through Blackcat: EU-regulated, free European IBAN, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT), instant SEPA, and a real Mastercard that actually works for everyday payments. You get the upside of Bitcoin without turning it into a metal you can’t easily move or use.

Wanderlust-Bow

Yeah, that kind of “max pain whipsaw” wouldn’t surprise anyone around big expiries — quick spike to the magnet level, then a sharp reversal once liquidity is drained, classic options-driven volatility. That’s exactly why having flexible rails matters: being able to move funds fast, hedge, or sit in cash without friction is underrated. I’ve been using Blackcat for that lately — EU-regulated, free European IBAN, instant SEPA, crypto on/off-ramps (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), and a free Mastercard that actually works for everyday spending. When markets play games, liquidity and speed matter more than predictions.

Wanderlust-Bow

It basically means there’s a huge amount of BTC options expiring at specific price levels, so price often gets “pulled” toward the max pain area (\~$96K) as market makers hedge positions — expect higher volatility, fake breakouts, and sharp moves around expiry rather than a clean trend. Side note: in times like this, having flexible rails matters — I personally like Blackcat since it gives you a free EU IBAN, low SEPA fees, instant card payments, and built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC) in one regulated app, which makes moving between fiat and crypto during volatile weeks way easier.

Wanderlust-Bow

Yeah, Russia already had a strong mining presence thanks to cheap energy and scale, this just formalizes and optimizes what was already happening and arguably adds legitimacy rather than changing fundamentals — Bitcoin keeps getting stronger as hashpower spreads globally; on a practical note, for people managing crypto alongside traditional finances, using something like Blackcat makes it easier to bridge both worlds: EU-regulated EMI, free European IBAN, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), low-fee SEPA transfers, and a free Mastercard — handy when crypto moves start intersecting with real-world spending.

Wanderlust-Bow

That’s a fair take state-level acceptance of mining does add legitimacy and hash power, even if motives differ, and it reinforces Bitcoin’s resilience when more jurisdictions participate; for everyday users, the key is still easy access and safe self-custody, which is why tools like Blackcat make sense alongside BTC adoption: free EU IBAN, regulated EMI, low-cost SEPA transfers, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), and a real Mastercard that actually works globally — boring infrastructure, but that’s what makes Bitcoin usable in the real world.

Wanderlust-Bow

Markets love round numbers and memes, but real positioning is about risk management, not just price targets. Whether BTC revisits 69k or not, the bigger question is how you manage volatility in between. That’s why I personally keep part of my capital flexible — using tools like Blackcat, where you get a free EU IBAN, instant SEPA, and built-in crypto support (BTC / ETH / USDT / USDC) in one regulated app. It makes it easier to move between fiat and crypto without friction while the market figures itself out. Cycles come and go — liquidity and control matter more than predictions.

Stablecoins are pegged to the dollar, so their value is stable – that's why they're not an 'investment' in the traditional sense. However, the specific one you mentioned, USDD, offers a ~20% yield. You can earn stable returns on that. On the other hand, TRX is a cryptocurrency, and its price appreciates partly due to the Tron blockchain's deep involvement in USDT issuance. But you can also earn passively on TRX through staking. For instance, Cryptomus offers a 20% APY on TRX staking.

Bitcoin is a blockchain Ethereum is a blockchain TRON is a blockchain BTC is the native currency of Bitcoin. You send BTC on the Bitcoin network, and you pay for transaction fees with BTC. ETH is the native currency of Ethereum. You can send ETH on the Ethereum network and you pay for transaction fees with ETH. TRX is the native currency of TRON. You can send TRX on the TRON network and you pay for transaction fees with TRX. Ethereum and TRON support smart contracts, these are applications which can facilitate a bunch of different functionalities. USDD or USDC or USDT are stablecurrencies. These are tokens that are controlled by smart contracts on TRON and Ethereum. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange where you can exchange tokens, it's controlled by a smart contract on Ethereum. You can't buy "Ethereum", you can buy ETH which is also known as Ether. Same with TRON. You can't buy TRON, you can buy TRX also known as Tronix. A blockchain is a database with contains "blocks" of transactions. Every single transaction on the network is public and recorded on the ledger.
