“Today, the China-based OKEx marketplace has announced an exciting new way for its millions of users to take advantage of the DSR. On December 23, users of the OKEx platform will be able to directly deposit Dai and stake it in the DSR to earn the savings rate plus an additional reward that is exclusive to OKEx—all without leaving the OKEx platform.”

MakerDAO said that while it has presence in Asian countries such Korea, Japan, China, and Singapore, this new integration “will help expand Maker recognition and accelerate the globalization of Dai.”

The Twitter handle of OKEx also announced that listing of MakerDAO’s stablecoin Dai on the take would take place tomorrow, December 18. By staking Dai on the OKEx, users can also enjoy 1% extra return. The similar announcement made by OKEx that reads:

“DSR is DAI’s current saving account, holders can stake DAI in the smart contract to get a stable yield return, where they retain total and independent control over their locked-up Dai at all times and users can withdraw any or all of their Dai at any time.”
