Thèse d'investissement
MakerDAO's transformation into Sky Protocol positions it premier blue-chip infrastructure play in DeFi's institutional evolution. The protocol bridges traditional finance with crypto through $948 million in Real-World Assets (14% of reserves) while maintaining crypto-native governance. The deflationary SKY tokenomics via protocol fee buyback-and-burn creates scarcity dynamics grows, evidenced by 1.1 billion+ SKY tokens retired through buybacks August 2025 and a $40.5 million buyback executed December 3, 2025. The 10-year operational track record provides institutional confidence unavailable in newer DeFi protocols, with the protocol surviving the 2022 bear market when competitors like Terra/LUNA collapsed. Multi-chain expansion to Solana and Ethereum Layer 2 solutions positions USDS stablecoin for mass adoption beyond Ethereum mainnet constraints.
