The price of Maker (MKR), the governance token for the MakerDAO stablecoin, increased by 20% after Coinbase Pro announced yesterday that it would support the token.
In the past week, it’s increased by over 50%, according to CoinMarketCap data. MKR started the week at $343; as of May 30, its price is $518.
Coinbase said that users can transfer the token on its Pro platform—used by more experienced traders—from 9am PT (4pm UTC), June 8.
Then, they’ll have to wait: trading will occur only if “liquidity conditions” are met. When Coinbase decides there’s enough MKR on its Pro platform, it’ll allow trading for pairings with both the US dollar and Bitcoin.
It’s Coinbase’s second attempt at launching MKR. It added support for it in April 2019 “in a limited number of jurisdictions,” but MKR “did not proceed to trading” because people hadn’t transferred enough MKR to Coinbase.
MKR is the governance token that dictates how MakerDAO’s decentralized stablecoin, DAI, is run. DAI, which launched in 2017, is a ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain that has a steady value of one US dollar.
Coinbase Pro is adding support for Maker (MKR), the governance token for the Maker DAO stablecoin, according to an announcement made today. On June 8, the exchange will start accepting deposits of the token and trading will begin from 9am PT (4pm UTC). On Monday, June 8, our MKR-USD and MKR-BTC order books will enter transfer-only mode, accepting inbound transfers of MKR in supported regions. Orders cannot be placed or filled. Order books will be in transfer-only mode for a minimum of 12 hours....
Those who hold MKR are able to vote on decisions, such as increasing or decreasing fees, to help keep the price of DAI stable. MKR tokens are burned or created to keep the price of DAI pegged to the dollar. In addition to that, MakerDAO’s algorithms automatically manage the price of DAI, so no one person needs to be trusted to keep the currency steady.
Though still in its early stages, the DAI stablecoin has already proved useful. Oxfam, for instance, has trialed it in Vanuatu to practice for disaster relief efforts.

Top college football prospect Matai Tagoa’i is set to join football stars like Russell Okung, Odell Beckham Jr., and Trevor Lawrence by receiving his compensation in Bitcoin.

The world’s largest asset manager BlackRock just debuted a new advertisement proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, but rather than cheer on the Bitcoin ETF issuer for its efforts, Bitcoiners aren’t happy. The video, which is housed on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF page on BlackRock’s website, spends three minutes walking viewers through the evolution of money and key fundamentals of Bitcoin. One of those fundamentals is Bitcoin’s 21 million fixed token supply. While the video explains t...
El Salvador may have reached a deal with the International Monetary Fund that will see the tiny country scale back its Bitcoin law—but it’s still going to “HODL.” And it might even step up its BTC buys. That’s according to Stacy Herbert, the head of El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office, who wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) Thursday that the country may even continue buying the cryptocurrency at an “accelerated pace” going forward. El Salvador in 2021 made Bitcoin legal tender along with...
