The Market Value of Treasury Assets, related to OHM’s price performance, stands at $25,147,490 million and has seen similar growth in the last month. 90% of OHM’s supply, as the team said, has been consistently staked with the “3,3” as the dominant investment strategy.
In consequence, the protocols Total Value Locked (TVL) has increased after a dropped at the end of March. Since then, the metric rose with the last week seen the fastest growing. OlympusDAO registered $150 million in TVL. The team said the following on potential rewards for investors:
Things don’t look like they will let up for those stakers any time soon; OHM waiting to be distributed to stakers is now 20x more than OHM staked, securing >50,000% APY for the next six months at least.

OlympusDAO Liquidity On The Rise
Additional data points towards a liquidity accumulation on the protocol. The pool for trading pairs DAI/OHM and OHM/DAI have surged and gone from $3 million at the protocol’s launch to $28 million, at the time of writing. 83% of the pool’s liquidity is treasury owned, as the Team clarified. They added the following:
This ownership is to the point that external LPs should feel quite comfortable deploying into the pool. A significant risk on the part of a liquidity provider is that everyone else to pulls and they end up holding the bag. This risk is minimized significantly when the protocol holds a majority share.
Created as an algorithmic currency protocol, OlympusDAO has created a mechanism that employs asset backing as a supply constraint. Their native token OHM is minted by the liquidity provided in DAI or OHM-DAI LP send to the protocol. As anonymous user “Shadow” explained, the protocol has been designed to protect its investors:
OlympusDAO preserves your purchasing power by rebasing your staked OHM. Rebasing is nothing other than minting new OHM which is paid to the stakers. The rebase is shown as a % increase of the staked OHM per epoch (8h). The APY is just the auto-compounded rebase over a year.
