📈 Current Price & Behavior




Current price: ~$0.999–$1.00 USD per $DA — very closely tracking the USD peg.




Price action: Extremely stable with negligible daily volatility (typically ±0.1% or less over a week), reflecting its purpose as a stablecoin.




Market role: Used broadly in DeFi, trading pairs, and as a medium of exchange without the volatility seen in other cryptos.




Design: Backed by crypto assets (often 150%+ collateral), governed by MakerDAO/Sky DAO voters.




Bullish Factors

✔ Extremely tight peg to USD — core purpose achieved.

✔ Decentralized governance and transparent collateral system.

✔ Strong utility in DeFi for lending, borrowing, payments, and liquidity.


Risks / Considerations

❌ Not intended as an investment for price appreciation.

❌ Peg stability depends on collateral quality and market liquidity.
