TechFlow reports that the decentralized stablecoin USDD announced on April 8 the launch of two WBTCVaults on the TRON network, enabling users to mint USDD using WBTC as collateral. This marks a new high-quality collateral option added to USDD’s existing vaults—TRX, sTRX, and USDT Vaults—and signifies further diversification of the protocol’s collateral assets.
As the largest-market-cap and most widely recognized tokenized Bitcoin asset, WBTC’s integration significantly enhances the diversity and robustness of USDD’s collateral pool. The newly launched WBTC-A and WBTC-B vaults feature minimum collateral ratios of 150% and 130%, respectively, with minimum borrowing amounts set at $1,000 and $2,500. Users can also adopt two efficient strategies to amplify returns: first, leveraged long looping—collateralizing WBTC to borrow USDD, then swapping USDD for additional WBTC on a DEX and re-collateralizing; second, cross-platform yield arbitrage—borrowing USDD and depositing it into high-yield mining pools to capture net yield spreads.
The USDD team stated that the introduction of WBTC Vaults represents a critical step toward diversifying collateral assets, enhancing security, and improving user experience—further reinforcing USDD’s market positioning as a “yield-bearing version of USDT.”
