If you know, you know!
I came across this Blackrock backed stablecoin called usual and from it's current pre-market price it's around 0.3 a pop. My question is why is there a premarket for a stablecoin and why is there talk of a dip or pump about the token on twitter.

Usual is not a stablecoin, but rather an entity that issues stablecoin. Their stablecoin is USD0, it has the same value 1:1 as the original FIAT USD. Not only stablecoin, they also have Usual token that you are talking about here, looking at Coinmarketcap, the price is around $0,3. Usual token is the governance token of the Usual entity itself, and of course, its price can go up or down.

Can you share a link to which coin you are referring to?

Stablecoins are supposed to be backed up by the original currency that they represent, but I don’t know how authentic their verification is if they are truly backed up or not. But one thing about them is that the value only happens to climb down each time that the coins experience some crash and it depegged. I don’t know if I have ever seen any stable coins for which they run sales and whose price is below what it’s supposed to be.
