Maker Aims To Leave Centralized Stablecoins
Maker, the DeFi framework that drives the DAI virtual currency, announced a twofold increase in the borrowing cap on its Ethereum vault.
Maker, the world’s most enormous decentralized-finance tool, is seeking to reduce its dependency on centrally controlled stablecoins such as Centre’s Coin, especially following the controversy surrounding Tornado Cash in mid-August.
Staked Ethereum is just a digital token representing one part of the Ethereum network that has been placed or blocked in preparation for the platform’s ultimate update, the merging.
Distributed lending platforms pay other groups that can contribute equity while making direct loans to people and businesses without intermediaries. On staking exchanges like Lido Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, and Finance, among many others, staked Ethereum appears to be a hedging token given as a reward to Ethereum borrowers.
Maker wants to lessen the influence of USDC and the proportion of the token held as leverage to DAI, the distributed virtual currency that the virtual currency lending company uses and is pegged to the USD. By approving Maker DAO’s oversight request to raise the debt ceiling to $200 million, the framework predicts that more stETH will be pledged against DAI, reducing its dependency on USDC.
WSTETH-structure, B’s, which acts as a resource into which users can hide assets, already contains more than 245,000 stETH, or around $392M, according to DAI Stats.

Repercussions
The US Treasury Department supported Tornado Cash in August, making the infrastructure and associated blockchain-based contracts risky for Americans to use.
Circle, a subsidiary of the Centre group, has temporarily prohibited the use of 38 Tornado Cash-related wallets. Privacy advocates denounced the move as corporate involvement in executive overreach and unjust government censorship.
In a statement, Circle founding member Jeremy Allaire said that they recognize that following the law and assisting in preventing money embezzlement is both the right thing to do and their job as a controlled financial institution. The value of an open operating system on the Web and their belief that the assumption and preservation of anonymity should be ingrained as a fundamental philosophy in the generation and transmission of virtual dollar money were all put at risk by doing the right thing.
The endless news stories concerning Circle’s wallet silencing and Tornado Cash have only increased demand for significantly less USDC to be used on the Maker system. The use of stETH by Maker appears to be their most recent effort to sell off their USDC holdings.
