The macroeconomics of 2025 is undergoing a profound shift. In order to control runaway national debt interest payments, the Federal Reserve has started to imitate the Bank of Japan's approach, forcibly implementing yield curve control (YCC), keeping the 10-year government bond yield below 2.5%. Sounds good? But the problem is—current real inflation is as high as 6%. Do the math and you'll see: those buying US bonds are actually losing money, losing about 3.5% annually. This is not a normal market phenomenon; it’s a form of hidden theft from creditors by the state, known in finance as "financial repression."

Smart money has already begun to flee. They are searching for assets that can truly outpace inflation.

At this moment, USDD 2.0 has appeared, opening a completely different door. Its yield logic is entirely separate from the US bond route.

A comparison makes it clear. Traditional RWA stablecoins (backed by US bonds) have their yields locked at a maximum of 2.5% by YCC, and after deducting inflation, it’s negative. But USDD 2.0? Its returns come from a completely different source—Smart Allocator earns yields through JustLend’s lending markets and TRX staking.

Where do the lending interest payments come from? From Degen traders. As long as there are still people willing to pay 15% interest in a bull market to borrow money and trade crypto (which is common in volatile markets), sUSDD’s yield can be maintained. It’s not artificially suppressed by policy, but driven by genuine market demand. This is true real yield.

Two parallel universes of choice: one is the financially repressed US debt, and the other is the yield supported by active crypto economy. The difference is huge—just look at that -3.5% and the double-digit yields to see the contrast.

USDD0.03%

TRX-0.38%

DEGEN-0.75%

RWA-0.27%

Wait, is the real yield on US debt -3.5%? This is obviously cutting leeks, no wonder smart money has all run away. Honestly, I need to think more about the USDD idea. The yield logic driven by lending interest sounds... kind of interesting. YCC and financial repression again, the Federal Reserve's approach is truly outrageous, treating creditors like leeks to be cut. Double-digit returns vs negative returns, this comparison is just too cruel, it's really not in the same league. Smart allocation + lending market combo, this is definitely different from traditional RWA strategies. I'm tempted to try but also afraid of a crash. So basically, it's about letting money escape from suppressed US debt and find a market with real demand to earn passively? Is my understanding correct?

U.S. debt -3.5% real yield? Laughable, isn't it like paying taxes instead of saving money Wait, is the logic behind USDD 2.0 true? Degen borrowing at 15% interest... this risk is a bit high Already seen it last year, smart people are all moving into crypto Financial repression—this is how the Federal Reserve plays it skillfully, everyone is being harvested RWA stablecoins have really become redundant; only then do you understand what real yield means But there might also be risks in the lending market... at least it's better than being robbed

Damn, US Treasuries have really become a negative yield black hole. Just stake USDD to earn the real market returns. Wait, can borrowing interest rates really hold two digits? When degens go crazy, sometimes even a bull market can't be sustained. This is the most direct way to escape financial repression. The Federal Reserve's YCC approach is truly impressive. Compared to passively taking hits, it's better to take the initiative. Crypto liquidity is indeed attractive. I've long seen through the US Treasuries game; it's better to find real yields on the chain.

Damn, the Federal Reserve is really starting to learn from Japan. This means traditional bonds are completely collapsing. I have to say, the YCC move is indeed ruthless, but the result is that ordinary people's money is becoming less and less valuable. The real yield aspect of USDD 2.0 is quite clear: borrowing interest comes from actual trading demand, which is definitely better than being crushed by policies. Smart money moving into crypto is nothing new; after all, the negative yields on US bonds are right there. A 15% lending interest rate is basically a sign of market activity, and this number could get even crazier during a bull market. The traditional financial system can't really innovate anymore. 2025 is truly a watershed moment. RWA stablecoins are locked at 2.5%, which is a joke compared to inflation, no wonder everyone is looking for an exit. Double-digit returns sound great, but we'll see how long they can last. The term "financial repression" is quite apt; I interpret official plunder as just that.
