Crypto Asset Statement

What is Dai (DAI)?

DAI is the 4th largest stablecoin by market cap that seeks to maintain a constant value of $1 USD and uses other cryptocurrency assets as its collateral. It is decentralized, collateral-backed and runs on the Ethereum blockchain. DAI is governed by the Maker (MKR) protocol, which is a decentralized application (DApp) whose function is to collect collateral and make loans of DAI in an automated way. You can buy and sell DAI for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade DAI for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade DAI to CAD based on the DAI price.
