Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — DAI has no maximum supply.
New DAI is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.
Supply at a glance
About Dai
DAI is a decentralised stablecoin that targets US$1, issued by the Sky (formerly MakerDAO) protocol against crypto collateral rather than a company's bank account. It's the longest-running experiment in algorithmically-governed, collateral-backed stable money.
Issued by Rune Christensen and the MakerDAO team (2017).
Dai in context
Dai trades 27% below its all-time high of A$1.94, set in March 2020. Over the past 90 days it has lost 0.9% in AUD terms, trailing Bitcoin's +24.3% by 25.2 percentage points — one of the moves behind today's altcoin season index reading. Daily turnover runs at about 0.2% of its market value — comparatively thin trading, which can amplify moves in both directions.

When will the rest of the DAI supply be released?
There is no release date — DAI has no maximum supply. New DAI is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.

Dai peaked at A$1.94 in March 2020. Today's price sits 27% below that peak — the stat cards above track it daily.
Why does the DAI price here differ from prices I see in USD?
We quote in Australian dollars, so the number moves with both the coin's USD price and the AUD/USD exchange rate. Most global sites quote USD — multiply by the current exchange rate (or just use our converter above) and the numbers reconcile.
