MakerDAO’s new investment plan attracts attention from top issuers

MakerDAO’s $1 billion Treasury investment plan has attracted the attention of BlackRock tokenization fund BUIDL, real-world asset protocol Ondo and asset management company Superstate. The capital allocation competition will open next month and is expected to significantly boost the growth of the $1.8 billion U.S. Treasury tokenization market. This plan means a major change in MakerDAO’s reserve strategy, which is also part of founder Rune Christensen’s endgame plan.
