Dai (or DAI, formerly Sai or SAI) is a stablecoin cryptocurrency which aims to keep its value as close to one United States dollar (USD) as possible through an automated system of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Dai is maintained and regulated by MakerDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) composed of the owners of its governance token, MKR, who may vote on changes to certain parameters in its smart contracts in order to ensure the stability of Dai.

The stablecoin market has seen a shift in market share, with Tether (USDT) gaining over 25% to $83.7 billion in the past year, while USD Coin (USDC) has lost over 40% to $25.82 billion. Other stablecoins like Binance USD (BUSD) and Dai (DAI) have also seen a decrease in market share. The only stablecoin to increase its market share is TrueUSD (TUSD). The shift could be due to several factors, including the collapse of TerraUSD (USTC) and the slow response of Silicon Valley Bank to rumors about the reserves backing its USDC. Tether's profitability is getting closer to Blackrock (BLK) due to rising U.S. government bond yields.
