Why is DAI rallying?
What makes DAI unique compared to its other stablecoin peers is its peg itself. Besides, as it is managed by a DAO, it offers token burn options that gets recorded by Ethereum-powered self-enforcing smart contracts. This makes the transactions of DAI stablecoin a transparent process and is tamper-free.
Besides, the users of the DAI crypto also get voting rights, wherein they can vote on the future governance of the protocol.
The exact reason for the DAI’s rally is still unclear, but it has witnessed greens over the past fortnight. In fact, it has witnessed minor rallies of 0.2% in both 14 days and 7 days, respectively. If we were to look at the charts it would tell you that DAI crypto has managed to maintain a decent momentum despite the recent stablecoins fiasco.
