The DeFi ecosystem Sky, formerly known as Maker DAO, decided to decrease the USDS savings rate to 8.75%. This change is a response to the increasing competition in the stablecoin market.

Sky Ecosystem Changes

Sky Governance has approved a decrease in the Sky Savings Rate to 8.75%, effective on February 10 at 14:00 UTC. Previously, Sky offered 12.5% in savings, attracting $3 billion in assets under management. Sky Dollar replaces DAI, already carrying 3.75 billion tokens in circulation.

Adapting to Market Conditions

Some of the proposed changes for the Sky ecosystem reflected market turbulence observed on February 3. The decline in ETH to $2,080 resulted in $313 million in DeFi sector liquidations, impacting Aave and Compound, but Sky and Spark Protocol had smaller losses.

USDS Supply Expansion

USDS is showing rapid expansion, adding 2.1 billion tokens in the past month. The stablecoin was used in test vaults on Solana and Base, increasing circulation by more than $100 million.

Sky continues to adapt to the current market situation, focusing on sustainable growth and the development of the DeFi sector.
