The story behind MKR
MKR is a cryptocurrency depicted as a smart contract platform and works alongside the Dai coin and aims to act as a hedge currency that provides traders with a stable alternative to the majority of coins currently available on the market. Maker offers a transparent stablecoin system that is fully inspectable on the Ethereum blockchain. Founded almost three years ago, MakerDao is lead by Rune Christensen, its CEO and founder. Maker’s MKR coin is a recent entrant to the market and is not a well known project. However, after today it will be known by many more people after blowing up 40% and it is one of the coins to rise to prominence during the recent peaks and troughs. After being developed by the MakerDAO team, Maker Dai officially went live on December 18th, 2017. Dai is a price stable coin that is suitable for payments, savings, or collateral and provides cryptocurrency traders with increased options concerning opening and closing positions. Dai lives completely on the blockchain chain with its stability unmediated by the legal system or trusted counterparties and helps facilitate trading while staying entirely in the world of cryptocurrencies. The concept of a stablecoin is fairly straight forward – it’s a token that has its price or value pegged to a particular fiat currency. A stablecoin is a token (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) that exists on a blockchain, but unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, Dai has no volatility. MKR is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and can not be mined. It’s instead created/destroyed in response to DAI price fluctuations in order to keep it hovering around $1 USD. MKR is used to pay transaction fees on the Maker system, and it collateralizes the system. Holding MKR comes with voting rights within Maker’s continuous approval voting system. Bad governance devalues MKR tokens, so MKR holders are incentivized to vote for the good of the entire system. It’s a fully decentralized and democratic structure, then, which is an underutilized USP of blockchain tech. Value volatility is a relative concept among both cryptos and fiat currencies. The US dollar, for example, was worth 110.748 yen on July 9, 2018. On July 4, 2011, $1 was worth 80.64 yen, and on March 18, 1985, $1 was worth 255.65 yen. These are major differences in exchange rates, and inflation within each country makes each currency worth different values even when compared to themselves. One USD in 1913 is worth the equivalent of $25.41 today, and even $1 in 1993 is worth the equivalent of $1.74 today. Stablecoins don’t negate these basic economic principles of value. Instead, both Tether and Dai have values pegged to the U.S. dollar. This is done to stabilize the price.

What moves the MKR price?
MKR is a Ethereum token, so its price is set entirely by what happens in its liquidity pools rather than by any order book. Volume is low relative to the $1.47M sitting in the pool, so the price can stay flat for long stretches and then jump when a single sizeable order arrives. The main drivers are the depth of that pool, how concentrated the holder base is, general Ethereum market conditions, and social attention. For a token with a A grade, position size discipline matters more than any price prediction.

How to buy Maker (MKR)
- Get a Ethereum wallet. Install MetaMask or Rabby and fund it with ETH.
- Open a DEX. MKR trades mainly on Uniswap V2. Paste the contract address rather than searching the ticker: names can be copied by scam tokens.
- Verify the contract. Check it against the address on this page:
0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2You can open that address on Etherscan and confirm supply, holders and transfers yourself instead of taking our word for it. - Set slippage sensibly. With $1.47M of liquidity, moderate orders should fill without extreme slippage, but size still matters.
- Confirm and review. After the swap, verify the tokens landed and that you can sell a small amount back. If a sell fails, treat it as a honeypot.

Maker (MKR) price prediction, answered with arithmetic
Every token this size gets asked where the price is going, and nobody honest can answer that. What can be answered is what each target would require. MKR trades at $1,432.4 today. For each target price below, the table shows what the whole supply would be worth at that price, and how that compares to assets people already know.
| Target price | Multiple from today | Implied valuation | For scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 3.5x | $439.30M | a mid-tier crypto asset |
| $10,000 | 7.0x | $878.60M | a mid-tier crypto asset |
| $20,000 | 14.0x | $1.76B | a large-cap crypto asset |
This is arithmetic, not a forecast. Nobody can tell you where MKR will trade. What the table does tell you is the size of the move being asked for, which is usually the missing piece when people ask whether a token can reach a given price.
How to trade MKR safely
- Size against liquidity, not conviction. The pool holds $1.47M. A trade worth more than roughly 1% of that will move the price against you.
- Test the exit first. Buy a small amount, then immediately sell part of it. Tokens that block sells are the single most common trap.
- Watch the buy/sell balance. Currently 29 buys against 61 sells in 24 hours. A rough balance between the two suggests the market functions in both directions.
- Check the age. This pool was created 5 years ago. Most rug pulls happen within the first hours of a pool going live.
- Never invest more than you can lose. Low-cap tokens can go to zero, and frequently do.
