Diverted stablecoin Dai DAI set up by MakerDAO

06.10.2022

The stablecoin Dai DAI USD, set aside $500 million to invest in corporate and U.S. Treasury bonds, has been set up by the DAO MakerDAO, which is behind the stable coin Dai DAI USD.

Its over-collateralized stable coin will be used to make money, with 80% going to investment-grade corporate bonds and 20% going to short-term U.S. Treasury securities.

The MakerDAO community's vote on the allocation suggestion was put in late June.

Since the collapse of the $40 billion Terra ecosystem and its stable coin UST, which had repercussions on the larger coin market, stable coins and their collaterals have been a topic of discussion.

The funds will be allocated by MakerDAO to diversify its balance sheet into scalable legacy finance investments, minimize exposure to any one asset, and extend income sources, as well as to invest in decentralized finance DeFi asset advisor Monetalis. In a separate statement, the digital asset bank Sygnum revealed that it is the primary partner in the $500 million diversification effort.

MakerDAO stated that they have completed a $1 million transaction and will complete the other investments soon. Signum is collaborating with BlackRock Switzerland in order to deploy $250 million in the initial phase of the strategy.

DAOs are organizations without a centralized management structure and software, not human managers, who make the decisions.

DeFi is a type of financial transaction without conventional middlemen that is used to finance, trading, and other financial operations.

The investment strategy of MakerDAO is an example of decentralized governance involvement and an industry attempt to improve the stability of tainted algorithmic stable coin.

The stable coin DAI is supported by ETHUSD placed into smart contracts by MakerDAO.
