In the midst of the recent stablecoin market turmoil, Cardano’s Djed stablecoin stood out as a reliable entity that did not lose its USD peg. In fact, it traded at a premium against the USD at one point, demonstrating its resilience during periods of high demand. Meanwhile, other stablecoins like USD Coin, DAI, and FRAX lost their dollar peg.
One of the reasons for Djed’s stability is its over-collateralization mechanism, with each Djed backed by more than four times its value in ADA. Djed’s reserve ratio stood at 487%, and it had over 33 million ADA coins in reserves. However, as a newcomer to the stablecoin horizon, its trading volume was still a fraction of more established coins like USDC and DAI.
Despite this, Djed’s total value locked (TVL) saw gains of 17% since the USDC de-pegging saga, according to data from DeFiLlama. At present, it accounts for 8% of the total TVL on the Cardano blockchain.
The potential for Djed’s expansion is also significant, with plans to launch on other layer-1 networks like BNB Chain and Ethereum. COTI, the firm that developed Djed in collaboration with Input Output HK, has received several requests from non-Cardano DeFi protocols to have the stablecoin launched on their blockchains.
The CEO of COTI noted that the expansion was always part of the project scope, and they will work towards it with greater focus. Djed’s contribution to ADA is also noteworthy, as it plays a significant role in the Cardano ecosystem. At present, ADA trades at Djed Stablecoin’s Resilience and Potential for Expansion Amidst Stablecoin Turmoil.
