We are particularly impressed by the decentralized finance movement on Ethereum, which is a compelling use case that is exploding in popularity.”
Continued Mr. Mosoff: “As it relates to our other core holdings, we are excited for the upcoming transition to multi-collateral Dai for MakerDAO. In fact, the target launch date of November 18th was recently confirmed. The large and unique opportunities stemming from Ethereum’s growing decentralized finance use case are substantial for both MakerDAO and Wyre and we are excited to see the results over the next several months.”
Added Stefan Coolican, Ether Capital’s President and CFO: “Given challenging market conditions, we remain committed to ongoing cash containment initiatives. We continue to consider strategic opportunities, particularly those which would allow us to access capital to improve our balance sheet flexibility.”
