MakerDAO, the issuer of the Dai (DAI) stablecoin, is currently voting on how to allocate 500 million DAI ($500 million) of treasury funds into investments in US Treasury bills and bonds, the protocol [announced](https://twitter.com/MakerDAO/status/1541492047588298753?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) on Monday.

The governance vote is the result of the community [agreeing](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-asset-allocation-of-mip65-clydesdale/15922/5) to an asset allocation for a liquid bond strategy and execution. Maker says this asset allocation introduces a new real-world asset vault. [Maker vaults](https://www.theblock.co/linked/78864/centralized-assets-now-constitute-40-of-makerdaos-vault) allow owners to deposit collateral to generate the DAI stablecoin.
