# Revitalising USTC

The fallen algorithmic stable-coin $USTC is still the most recognised Terra-brand asset. Juris is building real demand for it rather than relying on speculative burns.

| Juris Feature                    | Direct Effect on USTC                                                                                                  |

| USTC Lending Pool                | Users deposit USTC to earn market-driven APR → creates organic demand and locks supply.                                |
| Borrowing Fees in Stable Balance | Interest and service fees can be paid in USTC (besides USDC) → persistent sink for the token.                          |
| Liquidation Market               | Collateral baskets often include USTC; liquidators bid with USTC, boosting trading volume and utility.                 |
| Cross-Chain On-Ramp (IBC Bridge) | Smooth flow of assets lets outside traders bring USTC into Juris pools—extending reach beyond Terra Classic.           |
| Buy-Back & Burn Mechanism        | A portion of protocol revenue may be used (via DAO vote) to purchase USTC for burns or liquidity‐injection programmes. |

#### Impact Pathway:

Higher USTC utilisation → more liquidity and tighter spreads on DEX pairs → price stability improves → confidence returns → feedback loop for builders and users.<br>
