MakerDAO has paid $1.5 million in stamp duty to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds

According to DL News on November 8, MakerDAO recently paid approximately $1.5 million in stamp duty to the Swiss government due to trading US bonds in Switzerland. DeFi asset advisor Monetalis Clydesdale invested $500 million in US ETF on behalf of MakerDAO through Swiss encrypted bank Sygnum in October 2022. According to Swiss regulations for offshore entities, the transaction requires a stamp duty of 0.15%. MakerDAO needs to pay stamp duty once for buying and selling, so it paid approximately $1.5 million in total. As the cryptocurrency lending market shrinks, MakerDAO has expanded its physical asset portfolio to around $3.9 billion, mainly in US government bonds. In the future, it plans to further expand into private credit and loan securitization products.

He is concerned about the potential impact of this decision and stated that "it would make DeFi frontends based on regular internet domain names unfeasible."
