"What Is True Delta-Neutral (TDN) So weve already established that Resolv Labs uses a strategy called True Delta-Neutral (TDN) to protect against volatility. The stablecoin $USR is backed by $ETH and hedged with short positions. If $ETH drops the short gains. If $ETH rises $ETH gains but the short loses. Gains and losses cancel out $USR stays near $X. But even as we know volatility is not the only risk on a token that is supposed to be STABLE So RLP comes in absorb the risks Id explain by giving scenarios Scenario 1: $ETH Price Crashes Hard Imagine ETH suddenly drops XX% in a few days."
