TUSD just went up around 1.30$ when it gets added to binance and that wasn't good coz it supposed to be around 1$ , but it showed that how people want to get rid of USDT , and they are looking for a substitute , May be Bittrex did the right thing with adding USD instead of that!
I don't think people would actually mind if TUSD goes well above $1, just as long as it doesn't go lower than $1. The price spiked up to $1.30 just because the demand was high and buy orders flooded in, causing it to rise in price for a brief time.
Actually if I buy at 1.30 I will really mind if it will go below 1.30
Well, it would be a very very bad idea to sell your coins/tokens for TUSD at $1.30 to start with though, knowing that it should be pegged at $1.
Agreed.
It all seems like TUSD was created by some exchanges (probably with the same beneficiary) as an attempt to provide some sort of stability, since they wanted to avoid KYC hassles and other unpleasant things banks make you do when you have a real bank account.
However, fluctuations look to me just as another attempt by the exchanges to generate some sort of "fee" from their customers.
Oh, forgot to mention - might be as well a move by some large exchanges to receive funds to an offshore trust (in exchange for TUSD), thus avoid paying tax at home jurisdiction
Unforunately though, TUSD does have KYC, thought I don't know for sure if it's mandatory or not; but I think the KYC part is only if you wanted to exchange the TUSD for actual USD straight from them.
Quote from their site:
How it WorksWe work with multiple trust companies that already manage billions of dollars. Pass a KYC/AML check, and send USD to a trust company with an escrow agreement. When they verify your funds, their API instructs our smart contract to issue the equivalent TrueUSD to your public Ethereum address.
https://www.trusttoken.com/trueusd/Why would anyone invest in a stable coin that doesn't rise in value? Is it because you can switch to it during dump times to prevent your assets falling value or does it make it easier to cash out? Useful for exchanges but can't see why for investors
Definitely also useful for investors. What do you do if you expect a certain coin/token to drop/dip/crash in price? Sell it for either TUSD or USDT.
