Safe token trades at $2.8 billion FDV after becoming transferable
The governance token of Safe Protocol has now become transferable. The token currently has a fully diluted valuation of over $2.8 billion.
Since the unlock, the Safe token has decreased by over 19% and was changing hands for $2.8 at 6 a.m. ET. According to Coingecko data , the Safe token's market cap is valued at $1.45 billion — with a fully diluted valuation of over $2.8 billion. The token has a maximum supply of one billion, with a current circulating supply of 427 million.
Tokens had been locked for almost two years
The DAO’s tokens had been locked for almost two years since their launch via an airdrop in October 2022.
Speaking to The Block, a Safe spokesperson described the reasons for the governance token's lengthy frozen period before its unlocking. "The decision to make SAFE tokens transferable, along with the process of reaching this point, was guided by SafeDAO governance," the spokesperson said. "After the community decided against transferability at the end of 2022, SafeDAO aligned on five milestones to be passed to re-issue a vote on transferability."
These five milestones were described as being discussed in-depth over the last year until a DAO voting period ended on April 15, when over 99% of participants accepted the proposal to unpause the Safe token contract and enable transferability. "Token transferability is a significant event, and responsibilities should be with the DAO," the spokesperson added. "If and when there should be a token transferability it should be decided by the DAO itself, the token holder and delegates, and not by a small group of core contributors."
The spokesperson acknowledged that there had been an eagerness within sections of the community to make the Safe token transferable. "We're deeply committed to progressive decentralization, prioritizing secure infrastructure, fair governance frameworks, and transparent resource allocation," they added.
SafeDAO was previously known as Gnosis Safe, a custody solution offered by Gnosis DAO.
