MakerDAO has emerged as the standout performer in the multi-cycle DeFi space, surpassing Ethereum’s growth since the beginning of 2021.
The DAO’s recent Endgame proposal has injected fresh momentum into its asset, bolstering its already robust fundamentals.
In terms of revenue, MakerDAO has maintained a dominant position within the DeFi sector, capturing nearly 40% of all profits on Ethereum as of March this year. This achievement underscores its pivotal role in the decentralized finance ecosystem.

A significant development last week was the announcement of BlackRock’s participation in MakerDAO’s initiative to allocate $1 billion from the DAO’s treasury towards tokenized US Treasury offerings. This strategic collaboration marks a substantial milestone for MakerDAO, signaling increased institutional interest and potential future partnerships.
Investors are increasingly viewing MKR as a promising long-term investment within DeFi, positioning it favorably against Ethereum. MakerDAO’s strategy of expanding its revenue share within Ethereum’s economy is seen as a key driver for this optimism among investors.
