TrueUSD (TUSD) is a US dollar stablecoin issued by Techteryx. It is designed to be worth exactly $1, so a conventional price prediction — "TUSD could reach $X" — does not apply. The useful question is how reliably TUSD holds its peg, and what could break it.
TUSD is one of the largest stablecoins by market capitalisation, so whether it holds its peg matters well beyond its own holders.

TrueUSD price prediction 2026 – 2050
TUSD is designed to be worth $1.00 in every year from 2026 to 2050. In normal markets we expect it to keep trading within a fraction of a cent of $1. The realistic risk is not upside — it is a temporary drop below $1 during a crisis at the issuer, its banks or the wider market.
| Year | Stress case | Expected | Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2027 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2030 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2035 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2040 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2045 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
| 2050 | Under $1 in a crisis | $1.00 | ≈ $1.00 |
