> Dai is really a derivative of Etherium. Dai is backed by Etherium at 150%. So value in Dai is at risk if the price of Etherium drops more than 1/3. Etherium dropped by half back in May 2021, but recovered. DAI could have crashed at that time if it faced a net outflow. It didn't, though.
DAI didn't collapse because the drop in Ethereum value wasn't sudden. As the price falls, bots are allowed to liquidate your debt and keep the overall collateral ratio healthy.
