Current Events 🍵
Real-World Finance forecasts 157.8 million in revenue for MakerDAO in 2022
@Aes of the Real-World Finance Core Unit provides a forecast of MakerDAO’s 2021 and rolling 12-month revenue based on the prior average over three months of trading fees, six months of liquidations, and current stability fees.
“We are forecasting to finish 2021 at nearly 13x 2020 FY revenue, the rolling 12-month forecast is even more favorable due to an increase in ETH-A and W-BTC SF rates - if the current market remains stable, we would expect ?$157.8M in revenue next year.”
