Abstract

Justin Sun is trying, for the fifth day, to restore the USDD/USD peg.

Justin Sun is trying, for the fifth day, to restore the USDD/USD peg. Recall that the devaluation of the algorithmic stablecoin occurred at the very beginning of the week, when the price of USDD fell by 0.3 cents against the dollar, which almost instantly caused panic among investors.
The panic of USDD holders was not enough, with regulators and crypto market sharks tasting blood in the water and starting to apply pressure. The first ones started to aggressively preach again about the need to regulate the entire cryptocurrency market, while the second ones began aggressively shorting the quotes of Tron ecosystem's native token, TRX.
To solve the problem, Justin Sun and Tron DAO decided to conduct market interventions, pouring the liquidity of the reserve fund on the exchanges and buying up the freely tradable volume of TRX on them. Thus, more than 3 billion TRX were bought back in four days, with the total amount planned for buyback at 5.5 billion TRX, which equals 6% of the total token supply.

Tron (TRX) price perspectives
Today, June 17, it became known that Tron DAO would send another 100 million in USDC to further buy TRX from exchanges. On the announcement of the news, the token was able to rise by 4.7%. Nevertheless, TRX is 30% short of its previous levels before the USDD de-peg, and it is unclear whether it will be able to return to those levels in the near future.

XRP Ledger Daily Fees Drop Below $400 As Network Activity Question Returns

The XRP Ledger is drawing attention as daily network fees have fallen below $400. While low fees align with XRPL's design for affordable transactions and are often seen as a strength, the metric can also serve as an indicator of network demand and paid transaction volume. This data point of around $3,100 in weekly fee burn highlights the stark contrast with higher-fee chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The development fuels an ongoing debate. Proponents view low fees as a sign of efficiency and accessibility, while critics may question if the network is generating sufficient high-value activity relative to its market cap and payments-focused narrative. The article cautions against overstating the finding, noting a single low-fee day does not signify network failure. It instead adds context to discussions about XRPL's usage, especially alongside Ripple's broader initiatives in stablecoins (RLUSD), AI payments, and enterprise infrastructure. The report recommends monitoring for a fee rebound, checking transaction counts for a fuller picture, and confirming the trend via native explorers like Bithomp. It frames the story within a larger market shift where on-chain data, protocol updates, and infrastructure developments are becoming crucial alongside price action. The editorial stance is to present the verified data, explain its significance for assessing network activity, and avoid hype, positioning it as part of the daily crypto conversation.
