Maker (MKR) Surges 40%, Breaking $1,500 Milestone for the First Time Since 2022

The altcoin market displays early signs of recovery, with several medium-cap altcoins leading the way, notably Maker (MKR) and Chainlink (LINK). Maker, an Ethereum-based token integral to the governance of the Maker protocol and DAI stablecoins, has surged by over 44 percent in the past 39 days, trading at around $1,492 in the early Asian market.

MKR’s impressive price action can be attributed to its low supply of approximately 1 million tokens and heightened demand fueled by the widespread adoption of DAI stablecoins.
