The native token of MakerDAO, MKR, experienced significant losses during the market crash triggered by TerraUST in May 2022. However, the DAI stablecoin, which utilizes an algorithmic mechanism similar to UST, stood out as one of the leading stablecoins during this period. In response to the market downturn, the MakerDAO team implemented measures to overhaul the collateral mechanism supporting DAI. This transition to a hybrid mechanism proved to be a catalyst for the ecosystem and led to a positive trajectory for MKR’s price.

In the crypto market, the overall trend has been downwards in the current quarter. The total market capitalization has decreased by approximately 10% since its peak in July 2023. Despite this decline, both Bitcoin and Ether have seen impressive year-to-date gains, with Bitcoin increasing by 63% and Ether experiencing a surge of 40%. Other assets have also demonstrated significant returns, driven by specific catalysts related to each.

One standout example is MKR, which has rallied by 185% year-to-date. MKR surpassed the $1,500 mark on October 1st for the first time since May 2022. The increase in MKR’s value can be attributed to the successful implementation of incentive schemes aimed at increasing the supply of DAI. This was achieved through an increase in the Dai Savings Rate and capitalizing on the allocation of US T-Bills by the DAO.

Alongside the price surge, MKR’s network activity has also experienced a boost. The number of active addresses reached a 10-week high, indicating increased user participation. Additionally, transaction volume levels have reached heights not seen since May, further indicating the market’s improvement.

In conclusion, despite the market crash triggered by TerraUST, the MakerDAO team’s swift actions in overhauling the collateral mechanism supporting DAI have led to positive results for MKR. The implementation of incentive schemes and increased user participation have contributed to MKR’s impressive year-to-date gains and network activity..
