⇘ DAI Coin Faces Market Shake-Up Amid Rebranding, Acquisition, and Regulatory Changes

Ethena's USDe recently surpassed Dai to become the third-largest stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market. There's a potential rebranding of Dai, with the introduction of a new stablecoin, USDS, which could replace Dai. This decision is coupled with a rebranding of the MakerDAO protocol to Sky, stirring controversy among the DeFi community. Although the change enables the possibility to remotely freeze USDS assets, the original Dai stablecoin will continue to function normally.
A phishing attack resulted in a loss of over $55 million in Dai for a crypto whale. Interestingly, a hacker returned $9.3 Million in DAI to a victim 10 months after phishing them. Amid the uproar, a proposal from the Maker community is suggesting a conversion from 1 MKR token into 24,000 NGT Tokens - a development that could influence Dai's price dynamics.
Investing in Dai has been a focal point for new and seasoned traders in light of these recent occurrences. In a surprising maneuver, the Ethereum Foundation converted 100 ETH for 334k DAI. Meanwhile, companies including Uphold declared they would end support for DAI and other stablecoins. The introduction of NexFundAI by FBI in an attempt to entrap crypto scammers has also caught attention.
MakerDAO's rebranding and the introduction of USDS has sparked debates in the Gnosis community about stablecoin options. Amid controversies, Maker asserts its intent to launch an entirely decentralized stablecoin, potentially called PureDai, in a few years.
Looking towards increased regulation with anticipation, Uphil plans to delist major stablecoins like USDT, DAI, and FRAX. Negotiations around this issue have rippled across the DeFi ecosystem with MakerDAO and Aave's conflict reopening because of DAI's perceived risk growth.
