↘ Maker Coin (MKR) makes strides: Rebrands to Sky, introduces controversial New Stablecoin amidst predicted Price Swings

There has been a considerable amount of activity revolving around the decentralized lending platform formerly known as MakerDAO. In the most significant development, the protocol underwent a rebranding exercise and now goes by Sky. This wasn't merely a name change; associated with the rebrand are the introductions of a new stablecoin, labeled USDS, and a fresh governance token. However, the transition from the DAI stablecoin to USDS has sparked controversy within the DeFi community, primarily due to the included 'freeze function'. It appears that this function will give the team the power to remotely freeze the stablecoin, a move causing several concerns about the level of decentralization. Despite these apprehensions, the Maker (MKR) coin witnessed price movements, with some analysts predicting a temporary dip, followed by a potential rebound.

Additionally, MakerDAO's multi-collateral DAI is slated for an upgrade to USDS. Maker users might be offered the option to convert their existing MKR tokens into new governance tokens. While MKR continues to face market pressures, the protocol's founder cleared the air regarding the 'freeze function' amid backlash. Amid these transformations, another significant event concerns Wrapped Bitcoin. MakerDAO is considering offboarding WBTC in response to planned changes to the token's structure.

Yet, despite the backlash and ongoing debates, some still believe in the potential of MKR. Recent reports have noted that certain altcoins, including Maker, are expected to surge. It's also worth noting that the leading digital asset management company, Grayscale, has introduced a crypto fund for MakerDAO's MKR, indicating possible confidence in the token's future.
