MakerDAO Passes Vote To Close Alameda-Linked renBTC As Stablecoin Collateral

Dai stablecoin issuer MakerDAO passed a governance proposal to remove renBTC from being used as collateral and reduce exposure to what’s deemed a risky asset by the DAO. RenBTC is a wrapped bitcoin asset developed by the Alameda Research-backed project Ren Protocol.

MakerDAO lets users mint the dai stablecoin by depositing excess cryptocurrency collateral. In December 2020, MakerDAO allowed users to deposit renBTC tokens in specialized "RENBTC-A" vaults and mint dai.

Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO, has warned that the EU's specific interpretation of the MiCA regulations could lead to a disruption of DeFi development. Christensen stated that there are reports that financial regulatory authorities in Europe may require every DeFi frontend in the region to register and operate under a license. He is concerned about the potential impact of this decision and stated that "it would make DeFi frontends based on regular internet domain names unfeasible." Additionally, Christensen explained in detail that only decentralized or locally downloaded frontends can operate, as well as those that adopt KYC measures and procedures.

Token Evolution: Uncovering Diverse Applications in the Current Digital Landscape

In this collaborative research endeavor, the Global Crypto Research (GCR) and Friends With Benefits (FWB) unite to present a comprehensive examination of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) tokens and their contemporary landscape.
