On Thursday, Maker Foundation announced that it has been successful in gaining a significant amount of capital from two venture capital firms. According to Maker Foundation, it has recently raised an amount of $27.5 million from a direct sale through 5.5% of MKR total supply to Paradigm and Dragonfly Capital Partners. As a result, Maker Foundation has reached a net worth of $500 million through this capital. This capital will be expanding into Asian markets in the future. Also, both Paradigm and Dragonfly Partners will engage themselves in the on-chain governance of the decentralized organization.

Rune Christensen, CEO of Maker Foundation, said that Dai is one of the top choice stable coins among all global markets for its overall stability and decentralization. He also stated that expertise and support of Paradigm and Dragonfly Partners would give Dai an exceptional advantage in continuing innovation and mass adoption in Asia.
