Major DeFi projects have plans to launch stablecoins: An insight

Stablecoins are the pillars that support the world of decentralized finance (Defi) as well as crypto trading. With Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Terra USD (UST) taking the lead in the stablecoin industry, a lot of well-known blockchain projects have confirmed the launch of their own dollar-pegged stables.

New stablecoins in the market

After USDT, USDC, and Binance USD (BUSD) gained a lot of traction following the cryptocurrency boom of 2021, Cryptonary saw a sharp surge of interest in stablecoin projects from other decentralized protocols. One of these protocols was Terra, founded by Terraform Labs. As per data from DefiLlama, the TVL or Total Locked Volume of Terra grew from $3 million in December 2021 to nearly $35 billion in April 2022. 

The reason for this growth can be attributed to the following factors: 

  • Anchor protocol: Anchor Protocol is a decentralized lending & borrowing protocol that promises 20% returns for investors for a long time. Lenders could deposit their UST stablecoins which in turn would be provided to the borrower, who would pay interest on the same. This interest, along with the initial sum, would be returned to the lenders. 
  • As more and more people bought UST to invest in Anchor or other protocols on Terra, LUNA, Terra's native utility token, was burnt in order to create more UST. Due to this burn, the supply of LUNA declined, causing prices to jump a bit, and TVL also grew as a result.
Following the footsteps of UST, Near Protocol also welcomed its much-anticipated decentralized stablecoin known as USN. Another USD-pegged token joined the world of stablecoins. USN was launched by an independent team known as Decentral Bank, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Decentral Bank offers a 10% yield on USN, not a very high number as expected by the crypto community. Unlike UST, USN won't be backed by assets, but an arbitrage system will be established for the same, followed by a fund consisting of NEAR and USDT tokens.

The list of stablecoins doesn't end here. Justin Sun, the person behind the Tron blockchain, has revealed Tron's native stablecoin, USDD or Decentralized USD. USDD follows a similar arbitrage system as the USN. Another important fact to note here is that a basic "risk-free" interest rate of 30% will be rewarded to all the users.

The takeaway

The launch of stablecoins UST, USN, and USDD, are all aimed to provide investors with new ways of earning good "risk-free" yields on major decentralized finance protocols. While providing interest rates, these stablecoins will also cause a supply reduction for LUNA, TRX, and NEAR followed by a slight increase in prices. The more these stablecoins are consumed, the higher the burn rate for these native tokens.

Another important point to note here is that the 10/20/30% annual yields provided by these protocols like Anchor, Tron, and Near are often partially paid via reserves from those projects. As a result, these yields are not sustainable for a longer duration. Cryptonary recently reported that Anchor had to introduce the proposal to change the yield rate in order to implement sustainability. 

It seems that there might come a time when all major blockchain protocols might have a stablecoin attached to their native token but the methodology that these protocols aim to implement to give sustainable yields, that will be interesting to see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
