MakerDAO invested $700 million in U.S. Treasury bonds

  • The organization controls a total bond portfolio worth $1.2 billion
  • It’s part of MakerDAO’s global restructuring strategy called Endgame
  • It involves investing in real assets as well as splitting the structure into SubDAO

MakerDAO reported today, June 22, that it has invested an additional $700 million in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Thus, the share of bonds in the DAI reserve reached $1.2 billion.

The transaction was conducted by Monetalis Clydesdale Vault, a subsidiary of Monetalis Group. Notably, this is the second major investment in Treasury bonds in the last eight months.

In early June, a MakerDAO quorum supported the decision to increase the bond stake to $1.28 billion.. This is part of Endgame’s plan to diversify DAI reserves with real assets, including bonds.

This strategy also lays the groundwork for subsequent restructuring.. MakerDAO is expected to be divided into SubDAOs, small standalone units. 

In addition, the plan involves investing in some real assets to generate returns when volatility in the CA segment remains high. 

“By diversifying its collateral pool with this bond-focused strategy, MakerDAO is making the most of the current yield environment and leveraging its assets” – Monetalis Group CEO Allan Pedersen.
