Dai traded at $1.39 on August 31, 2026, a decline of 0.11% over the prior 24 hours. The token's market capitalization stood at $4.58 billion, reflecting its continued presence as one of the larger decentralized stablecoins in the crypto market.
Over the past seven days, DAI gained 0.51%, a modest move that contrasts sharply with its 30-day performance. The asset has risen 38.93% over that one-month window, a substantial deviation from the $1.00 target price the token is designed to maintain.
The 30-day figure is notable for a stablecoin, a category of digital asset typically engineered to hold a fixed value through algorithmic or collateral-backed mechanisms. A sustained premium of this magnitude above the intended peg would ordinarily signal unusual demand or structural pressure within the protocol's collateral system.
The daily pullback of 0.11% represents only a marginal correction relative to the broader monthly move. As of the August 31 close, DAI remained priced at $1.39 with no indication from the available data of an imminent return to the $1.00 peg.
