Proposal - Add TUSD market

Summary

We propose to add the stablecoin TrueUSD (ticker TUSD) market to the Strike protocol.

Motivation

With the recent gradual depreciation of BUSD market, we are in need of new source of stable coin liquidity and TUSD has proven to be one of the strongest stable coins in the industry. It’s the top candidate in terms of market value and safety assessment after USDC, USDT and DAI which are already listed in Strike markets.

Looks great!
Why doesn’t Strike bring more stable coins like USDP or LUSD?
They have great potential to grow markets too.
I don’t think TUSD won’t reach to BUSD power because BUSD was big 10 times than TUSD.
So Strike must bering more stable coin markets.
What do you think?
Thanks.
