The Maker DAO governance token MKR has witnessed a notable surge in recent days, with gains of 15% recorded over the past week. However, recent onchain activity has brought some volatility to the market.
In a significant move, a whale recently offloaded 4,753 MKR tokens in exchange for 17.3M DAI, resulting in a 9% drop in the price of MKR from its high of $3,881 to a low of $3,488. Following this transaction, the whale now holds just 512 MKR, valued at approximately $1.8 million.

MKR Price Move Despite Recent Sell-off Pressure
Despite the recent sell-off by the whale, the MKR price experienced a notable pump of 10.92% in the past 24 hours, surpassing the $3,600 mark for the first time in over two and a half years. This uptick in price suggests renewed investor interest and confidence in the MakerDAO ecosystem.
As the market continues to react to these developments, investors are advised to closely monitor onchain activity and market dynamics to make informed decisions in the volatile cryptocurrency landscape.
