TechFlow reports, Delphi Digital published an article stating that MakerDAO's recent increase of the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) to 8% brings significant financial implications. With the DSR currently set at 8%, Maker's annual cost is projected to reach $54 million. As a result, Maker's estimated annual profit is expected to decrease from $84 million per year to $41 million per year.
Nonetheless, this can be viewed as customer acquisition cost aimed at reinvigorating demand for DAI. Compared to U.S. Treasury bills, the enhanced DAI DSR offers an attractive on-chain alternative. Given its higher yield, DSR utilization could stabilize below 35%, aligning with the current benchmark rate of 5.5% for Treasury bills. This strategic move aims to drive Maker's growth and lay the foundation for the introduction of Maker SubDAO, designed to increase the demand and utility of both DAI and MKR tokens.
