Dai (DAI) Tax Guide

Dai taxes: trading, DSR savings and capital gains in Europe.

DAI

How is Dai taxed?

Dai (DAI) is a decentralized stablecoin by MakerDAO and is taxed like any cryptocurrency in Europe. Every trade involving DAI generates a taxable event. As with other stablecoins, converting crypto to DAI is a taxable disposal.

DAI Savings Rate and DeFi usage

The DAI Savings Rate (DSR) allows DAI holders to earn interest, which is taxable as income. Minting DAI by depositing collateral in a Maker vault is generally not a taxable event (it is a loan), but liquidations are. DAI is widely used across DeFi protocols, each interaction potentially creating taxable events.
