DAO Treasuries Hit Record $24.5B as Decentralized Organizations Outpace Traditional Web3 Growth
**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.
