On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Maker across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
Maker is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. As a digital asset it can be sent peer-to-peer across the global internet, custodied in cryptocurrency wallets, and traded on exchanges around the world. Its ledger and ownership records are maintained without a central operator — verified, instead, by a distributed network of computers running shared software.
Compared to traditional financial instruments, Maker settles natively on its own blockchain rather than through banks or clearing houses. That gives holders direct custody and 24/7 transferability, but also exposes them to network-level risks: software bugs, governance changes, regulatory shifts, and ordinary market volatility.
By market value Maker (MKR) ranks in the broad top 250, trading at $1,650.26 as of the latest snapshot. MKR is -1.60% over 24 hours, -5.26% over the past week, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Maker remains roughly 74% beneath its all-time high of $6,302.63, a level first printed in May 2021. Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 0.1% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.
How Maker works
Maker operates on a public blockchain. Transactions are settled directly on the network, with ownership recorded against cryptographic addresses rather than personal identities. Anyone with the corresponding private key can spend the coins assigned to that address.
The supply schedule, governance model and core technical parameters of Maker are defined in its software. Changes require coordination across the community of users, validators or miners who actually run the network — there is no central CEO or board.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 90.87K MKR — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 90.87K MKR — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
Maker's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
What is Maker used for?
Maker is used as a digital asset for value transfer, on-chain settlement, and access to the broader cryptocurrency economy. Specific utility depends on the protocol and ecosystem around it.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 27 — Fear.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.

Risks & considerations
All cryptocurrencies carry significant risks. Prices can move 10%, 20% or more in a single trading session. Regulatory enforcement actions, exchange collapses, smart-contract exploits, and on-chain governance disputes can each materially affect token value over short and long horizons. Holders should size positions accordingly and never put in more than they can afford to lose.
Regulatory risk: Crypto remains under active regulatory review in most major jurisdictions. New rules around securities classification, banking access, KYC obligations, or outright trading bans can each materially affect a coin's addressable market and price.
Custody risk: Self-custody puts the responsibility on the holder to keep private keys safe. Exchange custody puts the responsibility on the exchange — which can fail, restrict withdrawals, or be hacked. There is no FDIC-equivalent for crypto.
