USB-C is a connector shape, so there's really no need for a USB-D. What you're thinking of is USB 5.0, except the USB has a penchant for coming up with the dumbest names imaginable. The current latest (I think) version is 3.2 Gen 2x2, so the next major version will probably be called some bullshit like USB 3.2 Gen 2x2+1.

USB4 is here and is already being called weird stuff.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2+1.

Thankfully it's not the 90s or they've called this "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Extreme"

Wikipedia lists USB4 Gen 4 (No space between USB and 4, which is different from previous versions which did have a space there).

Following USB4 Gen 2×1, USB4 Gen 2×2, USB4 Gen 3×1 and USB4 Gen 3×2.
