MakerDAO transfers $250 million from Coinbase to secure DAI peg

MakerDAO transferred $250 million from Coinbase to the DAI Peg Stabilization Module (PSM) to maintain the peg after the USDC reserve in DAI (which needs to exceed at least $200 million to be considered safe) approached dropping below $60 million earlier today. PSM is a collateral pool that allows users to mint DAI by exchanging USDC at a 1:1 ratio and arbitrage DAI back to being pegged to the dollar. If the PSM reserve is depleted, the price of DAI may be higher or lower than $1.

  • Coinbase Plans to Target Australia's Self-Managed Pensions Sector with New Service

    Coinbase is developing a service that will target Australia's self-managed pensions sector, according to the exchange's Asia-Pacific Managing Director John O'Loghlen. The move comes as self-managed funds in Australia have increasingly held crypto, with nearly A$1 billion ($664 million) allocated to crypto as of the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office. O'Loghlen stated that Coinbase's offering will aim to service these clients on a one-off basis and retain their business. The interest in crypto within the self-managed pensions sector may be driven by the recent momentum gained after spot-ETF approvals in the U.S. and the possibility of similar approvals in Australia this year.
