TrueUSD (TUSD) is a fiat-backed stablecoin originally issued by TrustToken (now Archblock). TUSD operates on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Tron, and other networks. Its adoption pattern has shifted over time — originally a institutional-flavoured alternative to USDC, then a key liquidity stablecoin on Binance during periods when other quote stablecoins faced restrictions.
Reserves and disclosure
TUSD has historically published real-time reserve attestation through The Network Firm. The attestation arrangements have been the subject of scrutiny during periods of governance change at the issuer.
Peg history
TUSD held its peg through most of its history but has experienced sharper depeg episodes than USDC or USDT — notably the early 2024 episode when TUSD traded several percent below peg on certain venues amid attestation-arrangement uncertainty. Confidence has recovered but baseline volatility remains higher than larger stablecoins.
Adoption pattern
TUSD’s usage is concentrated on a smaller set of venues than USDT or USDC. This makes its social discussion more sensitive to single-venue news and harder to interpret as a broad market signal.
How to use the confidence chart
TUSD’s baseline confidence sits lower than the major stablecoins — generally in the 60–75 range rather than 80+. Treat confidence dips here cautiously and always cross-check against the peg chart and issuer-specific news flow. Research only — not a solvency rating.
