Olympus V2 announced several partnerships ahead of the weekend

In hindsight, the Cohort in question is a service for protocols looking to supplement liquidity mining. In addition to its newest member, it features decentralized exchange Pangolin, liquidity market protocol BENQI, and farming protocol Yield Yak.

Instead of renting that liquidity (often at astronomical interest rates), they simply purchase it, turning a value-draining perpetual expense into revenue-producing assets that facilitate the functionality of the rest of the platform.

Additionally, Olympus DAO announced its collaboration with Angle Protocol, “the first liquid Euro stablecoin on-chain.”

The growing partnerships did not compensate for OHM’s 68% loss from the quarterly high of $1,320. Nevertheless, Olympus DAO saw its OHM token increase by 43% in the previous three days.

OHM Coin price responded with a 43% uptrend since Saturday

The OHM coin daily price chart shows a significant decrease from the token’s October record. However, OHM/USD exchange rate jumped to $412 in the European session Monday.

Moreover, the recent uptrend added only 42 million to Olympus V2’s total value locked (TVL), while the loss since Dec 1 stood at 45%. But the data from CoinMarketCap showed an 87% uptrend in daily trading volume (bottom line on the chart above), which stood at almost $54 million.

What sets Olympus DAO apart?

In hindsight, Olympus DAO’s tokenomics has raised many eyebrows since its launch in August 2021. It inspired polarized opinions in the crypto community, with “Ohmies” believing Olympus is the future of money and the opposers convinced it’s a Ponzi.

In detail, the reserve currency protocol features a Treasury, which backs the OHM coin with a basket of cryptocurrencies: DAI, FREX, wrapped ETH, etc., keeping the floor OHM price at $1. The Treasury then allows users to buy OHM bonds, i.e., buy OHM coin at a discount, pay in Ethereum (ETH), and wait five days to receive the tokens.

Furthermore, the additional value of OHM ($412 instead of $1) allows the Treasury to mint that much worth of OHM, which then sustains the stakers in the community. The mechanism allows bonders, stakers, and the Treasury itself to earn profits.

Meanwhile, the increasing supply does not impact the price, as buying bonds and staking processes don’t include selling the token. However, as a result, Olympus DAO owns 99.88% of OHM liquidity, earning revenue from transaction fees.

OHM token’s latest bearish phase could be due to the ubiquitous declines in the crypto market. However, the upcoming quarter will show if Olympus DAO can recover from its December losses.
