TrueUSD's Borrowing Rates Jumped to 100% as TUSD Soared to $1.20: Kaiko
Traders shorted TUSD to capture a 20% upside for the token’s intended $1 peg.

Traders quickly jumped in to take advantage of trueUSD’s (TUSD) depegging event Tuesday to capture a potential 20% gain – paying an outrageously large amount in fees to be able to do so.
Crypto analytics firm Kaiko said in a Wednesday newsletter that on-chain traders utilized Aave and Compound, two popular lending protocols, to borrow large amounts of TUSD and then quickly swapp these holdings for USD coin (USDC), another dollar-pegged token.

Such a move was to effectively short, or bet against, TUSD from its elevated price. However, neither Aave nor Compound had a large supply of TUSD, which caused borrowing rates to hit over 100% annualized on both protocols.
Kaiko said these token conversions appeared to be organic instead of driven by automated bots. The firm added TUSD’s depegging likely occurred due to the lack of liquidity backing its intended $1 peg.
“Binance has recently been promoting TUSD, making BTC-TUSD the only zero-fee pair on the exchange,” Kaiko wrote. “This quickly made Binance BTC-TUSD one of the highest-volume pairs in all of crypto despite TUSD being relatively unknown amongst stablecoins.”
“Additionally, TUSD liquidity has not kept pace with its volumes, making a depegging like this more likely,” it added.
Binance has shied away from Binance USD (BUSD), which it offered in association with crypto firm Paxos, since regulatory troubles earlier this year. Paxos said at the time it would stop minting new BUSD tokens at the direction of the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).
Traders have quickly adopted TUSD on Binance. Bitcoin trading volumes paired with the token clocked over $1 billion over the past 24 hours, second only to tether-denominated trading at $1.5 billion.
