MakerDAO-medstifter planlægger at 'Yolo USDC ind i ETH'

Efter det amerikanske finansministeriums sanktionering af kryptomixer Tornado Cash, MakerDAO co-founder Rune Christensen wants to uproot USDC from the massive crypto treasury that underpins its stablecoin DAI.

On MakerDAO’s official Discord kanal, Christensen said the consequences of the Tornado Cash sanctions are “a lot more serious than I first thought.” Blockworks documented the threat posed by Treasury sanctions to DAI tidligere i denne uge.

DAI's dollar-værdi er inspireret af det, der er kendt som Price Stability Peg (PSG). Minting DAI kræver normalt oversikkerhed, men PSG gør det muligt for USDC-indehavere at præge en DAI for hver USDC, der deponeres, hvilket åbner en lukrativ arbitrage-mulighed, når DAI stiger over $1.

Selvom DAI højst sandsynligt ville aftage fra den amerikanske dollar, hvis MakerDAO dropper USDC, er risikoen "acceptabel," sagde Christensen.

"Markedet kan endelig begynde at belønne decentralisering til det punkt, hvor disse risici er acceptable, fordi USDC ikke længere er den no-brainer, det plejede at være," sagde Christensen.

Luca Prosperi, another prominent MakerDAO figure, was very critical of the idea. “So let me understand, we have 80%-plus collateral concentration in our balance sheet, and we openly say that collateral is crap.”

But Christensen sees this move as essential given the potential for government crackdown.

“This is my thought process: there’s now a demonstrated way to instantly and unconstitutionally nuke any smart contract of all centralized stables at will, with no lead time to take preemptive actions. Countries tend to ban crypto when their economic conditions start tanking.”

Dette er en udviklingshistorie.
