DAI, on the other hand, is doing its best to not be overshadowed, up a dazzling 6.39% this week, reaching a cool $4.372 billion. Blackrock’s BUIDL token is doing a little victory lap, gaining 1.33% and reaching $2.897 billion. They’re leading the pack in monthly gains with a solid 26.14% increase. Meanwhile, USDS is falling off the proverbial cliff with a 5.5% drop. 🙄
