Price History

The shaded fan is where this price has historically travelled over the months after a close like today’s. It is not a forecast: it has no view on direction, only on distance.

$0.999$1.00$1$1
2025-09 · DCA start$1.00

Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $0.999 and $1; nine in ten between $0.999 and $1.

Built from 13 monthly closes rather than the full three years, so treat the width as provisional. Short windows tend to understate how violent an asset can be.

Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $1,318 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -1.4%.

Lump sum instead — $1,300 all at once in Sep 2025: $1,300 (+0.0%) — a dead heat with DCA.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $299.96 on $300 invested (-0.0%).

Backtests use monthly closing prices. Stock dividends aren’t reinvested, so long-run equity returns are understated.

About USDS

USDS is the stablecoin of the decentralized Sky ecosystem, designed to maintain a soft peg (a value intended to stay close) to the U.S. dollar. It functions as a versatile tool for decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing value to move through the system via peer-to-peer lending and saving without a middleman. The token is 'put to work' by being supplied to various protocol modules; for example, users can convert USDS into sUSDS to earn interest from protocol revenue or lock it to receive SKY governance tokens. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under stablecoins, with a market cap of about $10.2B.

It rates Medium-Low Risk at 1.8/5, meaning the rated factors are mostly sound, with one or two areas worth watching.

What pushes the score up: liquidity (4.3/5) and custody / bridge (3.0/5).

Scoring well: systemic / correlation at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
