The US stock market was down slightly likely due to the market retreating from recent gains. The broader cryptocurrency market went down, with Bitcoin and Ether dropping 1.65% and 1.24% respectively, in the past 24 hours.
Week's outperformer is MKR, which surged 7.1% in the past week due to the blockchain raising DAI yield to 8% to boost demand.
Launched in 2015, MakerDAO (MKR) is a peer-to-peer decentralized lending and borrowing platform on the Ethereum network. The platform allows the minting of DAI, an overcollateralized stablecoin. The MKR community has approved a proposal to temporarily boost DAI yield to up to 8% through an Enhanced Dai Savings Rate (EDSR) mechanism. The EDSR, which depends on DSR utilization, aims to enhance adoption of DAI amid a global decline in stablecoin market capitalization. Despite an increase in DAI's interest rate in June, less than 7% of total DAI supply was deposited in the DSR. This new measure allows MakerDAO to stay competitive. It is also worth noting that institutional investors have been dumping the tokens following the recent price surge.
