DAO treasuries reach new milestone with $24.​5 billion in total assets, marking significant growth in decentralized governance.​

Key metrics:

  • Average treasury size: ~$1.​2M per DAO
  • Top performers: Uniswap, Aave, Maker, Arbitrum, and Optimism each manage $500M+
  • Sector growth: +30% over the past year

Historical perspective:

  • 2021: ~$6B in DAO assets
  • 2023: $10-12B range
  • 2025: $24.​5B (nearly 4x increase)

The data suggests DAOs are accumulating capital faster than other Web3 organizational models.​ Major protocols continue to dominate the landscape, with the largest treasuries holding the majority of total market value.​

This growth trajectory positions current numbers as a potential starting point rather than a peak for decentralized autonomous organizations.​
