#CropRotation: Since the new governance change, the most profitable $COMP farming is now to borrow and re-deposit #Dai. With multiple layers of borrow-redeposit, you can get >40% yield still. The $BAT positions have massively unwound (w/o incident!) and replaced by Dai
As with $BAT before, this leads to concerns about deleveraging effects. Demand for Dai is high with price close to $1.02 and Dai interest rates are already low. Dai issuance is struggling to keep up with COMP farming demand in this otherwise 'normal' time
This increases concerns about future Dai liquidity. An outside shock now would make a worse deleveraging spiral, as we've previously explored here (and as happened on #BlackThursday)

What happened? TL;DR bad number is bad, "-3,927,520.91 System Surplus (Dai)" daistats.com

This issue can be likely fixed via existing tools. "An emergency shutdown is not currently justified."

Thread 👇
The Maker system is working, it's just under major stress.

Unofficial summary from the Maker community call just now-

1. Media should email press@makerdao.com
2. An emergency shutdown (not happening now) would cause DAI holders to take a haircut, whereas the social contract of MakerDAO is that MKR tokens take a haircut in the event of system failure...
