After UST collapse, Justin Sun offers USDD staking with 40% APY

Tron (TRX) is the most resource-efficient platform for USDT transfers; it charges $1 with no regard for the amount of the transaction.

It is worth noting that USDC is the only stablecoin that went through the recent market collapse without a significant de-pegging. On May 12, 2022, the USDC/USDT ratio spiked to 1:1 on some exchanges.
