As Bitcoin continues to struggle to hold the $30,000 level, Maker DAO's altcoin Maker (MKR) has become the third highest-grossing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
MKR, which has gained more than 20% in the last 24 hours, recouped some of these gains and stands at $1,138.88, up 16%.
Popular crypto platform Lookonchain also drew attention to this rise of MKR, saying that some companies turned this rise in MKR into an opportunity and transferred MKR to exchanges.
At this point, Lookonchain said that a16z deposited MKR 12,634 (worth $12.6 million) to Coinbase via the address “0xd520”, as well as transferred another MKR 6,900 (worth $8 million) to a new address.
Lookonchain also stated that a16z can transfer these MKRs to exchanges as well, currently holding MKR 12,396 (worth $14.4 million).
Apart from a16z, CMS Holding also invested 525 MKR ($614k) in Binance.
