DAI Coin, a cryptocurrency created by MakerDAO, has seen a wealth of activity recently. The project underwent a rebrand, hitting $490 million in five days, but has also faced controversy and security issues. The stablecoin saw an impressive increase in lending interest rates. However, a crypto whale lost over $55m in DAI due to a phishing attack. In response to such incidents, MakerDAO plans to implement a remote freeze function for its new USDS stablecoin. The rebrand of MakerDAO to Sky and the transformation of DAI into USDS were met with skepticism and criticism by the DeFi community. The company outlined ambitious plans including two new stablecoins and further decentralization plans. This comes in an environment where stablecoins like USDT, DAI, and USDC outperformed Visa in 2023 regarding the traded volume. Amidst the market volatility, MakerDAO continues its 'Endgame' strategy, aiming for 100B DAI to rival Tether. Thereβs been speculation about Aave possibly dropping DAI as collateral due to perceived risk growth and consequential adjustments of risk parameters for DAI. The rebranding has been accompanied by a significant upgrade of DAI in connection with the launch of new stablecoins aiming to innovate the existing market. Yet, the DeFi community remains divided over the implementation as critics labeled the $1 billion DAI allocation proposal as 'reckless'. Anyhow, the company plans to back $1B worth of DAI with Ethena Labs' USDe despite significant criticism. All of these elements contribute to an environment of change and growth for DAI Coin.
