A year of buying DAI
Over the last 364 days DAI closed between $0.9947 (June 1, 2026) and $1.0061 (June 26, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $101 today; at the high, $99. The current price $1.0001 is above 331 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 91% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves DAI by 1.5%: a $1,000 position swings about $15 a day.
