The first collateral integration from a US-based bank in the DeFi ecosystem is getting closer.
The Maker Governance votes to add RWA-009, a 100 million DAI debt ceiling participation facility proposed by the Huntingdon Valley Bank, as a new collateral type in the Maker Protocol
Huntingdon Valley Bank, a Pennsylvania Chartered Bank founded in 1871, is seeking a 100 million DAI debt ceiling participation facility to support the growth of existing businesses and to grow new businesses.
This application proposed a legal structure wherein Huntingdon Valley Bank enters into a Master Purchase Agreement with a trust for the benefit of MakerDAO.

The MakerDAO Open Market Committee published a new Parameter Changes Proposal.
This proposal is composed of different parameter changes for various Maker Vaults based on market conditions and their potential implications for Maker.
Here is the breakdown 🧵
1/
1️⃣ GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A: Increase Stability Fee to 0.01%.
Based on recent historical data this should not immediately push G-UNI positions below profitability, but will help prevent excessive increases in exposure while the AMM pool utilization is very low.
2/
2️⃣ UNIV2DAIUSDC-A: Increase Stability Fee to 0.01%, increase Maximum Debt Ceiling to 300 million, and increase gap to 20 million.
Stability Fee increase is proposed for similar reasons as in the GUNI vault type.

.@BackedFi submitted a Collateral Onboarding Application (MIP6) for tokenized short-term permissionless securities backed 1:1 with an underlying short-term bond ETF.
A recap of this interesting and strategic proposal.
The tokenized IBTA securities will represent 1 for 1 unit of a short-term fixed income ETF, holding a series of 50 T-Notes issued by the US treasury.
2/
@BackedFi These tokenized IBTA securities will be sold to market participants, which will pass KYC and AML, and will have the ability to mint and redeem token securities for the underlying.
These market participants could then deposit the IBTA tokens in a specialized Maker Vault.
