How is Olympus crypto unique? 

Olympus works on Ethereum protocol and has caught the eye of investors over the past few months now. One of the reasons why OHM was in the news was largely due to the fact that OHM stakers managed to stake a health yield of over 7,000% in the past six months, making everyone sit up and take notice of the crypto. 

As Olympus has its very own treasury, it can mint and sell OHMs whenever the prices are trading above its floor price of 1 DAI and buys it back and burns it when the prices drop below 1 DAI. By doing so, it is able to maintain its control over the price it achieves, thereby ensuring that the prices stay stable.  

Olympus has often been dubbed as a cryptos with a single feature that is to grow its treasury. However, following the launch of Olympus Pro, it can now provide bonds as a part of selected partner protocols, which enables them to grow its own treasury.

But as cryptocurrencies are highly speculative, their real value or RoI can only be judged by giving it a long run.
