Opinion: Digital Asset Financial Company (DAT) is seen as a speculation in the crypto market and the next bubble.
Odaily News DAT provides investors with exposure to underlying digital assets by packaging crypto assets in securities regulated by the SEC, aiming to outperform the performance of the underlying assets through a strategy that maximizes returns. A key metric for measuring the performance of DATs is the market net asset value (mNAV), which compares the company's enterprise value to its digital asset holdings. Investment bank Macquarie points out that the viability of DAT is closely related to the equity premium relative to net asset value. If this premium erodes or turns into a discount, the model will face significant challenges. When the crypto market experiences a pullback, mNAV may fall below 1, indicating that the company's trading price is below the value of its crypto asset holdings, which may force DATs to sell some tokens to obtain liquidity.
