On the day the Federal Reserve announced a 75 basis point rate hike, global stock markets plunged into deep red. But at the same time, another "storm" was brewing on the chain—a completely code-driven monetary system completed its 8,732nd automatic rebalancing, still firmly pegged to 1 US dollar. This is USDD, a crypto experiment that is rewriting the rules of money.



While traditional finance struggles with inflation and rate hikes, USDD has long shed that old skin. It doesn’t rely on central bank backing, but instead stabilizes through over-collateralized mainstream crypto assets like TRX and BTC. Its supply adjusts automatically by algorithms, maintaining a peg to the dollar. The entire logic chain is laid out on the blockchain, as transparent as it can get—collateral ratios, circulation volume, every transaction, all verifiable in real time. Like a clock operating meticulously inside a glass case, all parts are visible.

But this is far more than just a technical showcase. USDD poses an ultimate question: without government and banks, relying solely on mathematical rules and market forces, can a fairer, more efficient monetary system be built?

Traditional stablecoins depend on USD reserves in bank vaults. USDD is different—it derives its stability from real on-chain crypto assets. When the price rises above 1 dollar, the system automatically encourages minting new coins for arbitrage, increasing supply and lowering the price. When the price drops below 1 dollar, arbitrageurs buy and destroy coins, earning the spread while reducing circulation and boosting value. This cycle runs 24/7 in smart contracts, forming a decentralized "central bank." No one manipulates it; only mathematics speak.

The glass house clock sounds good, but when it crashes, who will clean up the mess?

The clock in the glass house sounds very romantic, but what about the moment of disconnection?

A clock in a glass house? Sounds impressive, but can arbitrageurs really stay calm when a swarm rushes in?

Good grief, it's another story of USDD's automatic rebalancing. I'm tired of hearing it; we need to see how long it can hold up before it counts.
