How to Sell Dai (DAI)
Looking to gain exposure to the price volatility of emerging crypto assets? If so, it may be time to sell or exchange your DAI.
A crypto asset unlike most others, DAI mirrors the value of the U.S. dollar but runs on a blockchain, meaning it provides the relative price stability of the U.S. dollar without the transfer delays that can be common when moving real dollars between bank accounts.
Whether you’ve been using DAI as a way to receive a loan, or are a trader that wants to gain exposure to other assets, Kraken allows you to sell DAI directly for Ethereum (ETH) and other popular cash.
Our exchange also offers over 150 trading pairs, so depending on how you decide to sell DAI, you can gain exposure to a wide range of other assets.
For more information on how you can sell DAI if and when an opportunity presents itself, follow the steps outlined below.
