In 2025, Silicon Valley VC funds are tightening their belts. Countless startups are going bankrupt due to broken funding chains. But strangely, there is a group of projects that are thriving—not only avoiding layoffs but also actively hiring.

What is their secret? It's not about securing a new round of funding, but about mastering true financial management.

Smart project teams have long identified the problem. Holding USDT in cold wallets is essentially depreciating the funds; these assets should be activated. So they embraced a new approach—converting treasury assets into sUSDD to enable automatic "cash generation" for the team. It sounds complex, but in reality, this has become standard practice for many DAOs and Web3 projects.

From another perspective, holding millions in idle funds without utilizing them is a form of waste. The Real Yield generated through Smart Allocator might be enough to cover server maintenance costs or even pay the core development team’s salaries. This shifts the model from mere "burning money" to a genuine "making money" approach.

Of course, project teams are most concerned about financial risks. No one wants to repeat past mistakes. USDD 2.0 addresses this pain point—on-chain transparency with a 120% collateralization ratio, and third-party audits by CertiK—these measures allow the community to confidently approve treasury funds' deployment. Compared to handing money over to a centralized institution, this approach is much more reassuring.
