⇘ Maker Coin undergoes dramatic rebranding, introduces new stablecoin and governance token

MakerDAO is on the radar as it undergoes a dramatic shift in brand identity, moving to the Sky brand. Speculations swirl around this decision, with some members of the community pushing for a reversion to the MakerDAO name even after the rebranding has taken place. The DeFi protocol's founder, Rune Christensen, has been under fire for this unexpected transformation and has promoted a controversial proposal for a strict deflationary token model amid the rebranding process. On a functional aspect, Sky has revealed a new USDS stablecoin and governance token, which are seen as additional ventures from the original MakerDAO core. This new stablecoin would be launched on Solana via Wormhole, exhibiting their strategic initiatives on blockchain interoperability.

Amid these changes, MKR's price is experiencing fluctuations, with various price predictions forecasting a potential rally despite market headwinds while others foresee a dip down to $1200. The public is heavily speculating about these financial fluctuations and the potential implications in the broader cryptocurrency market. Remarkably, the Grayscale Investments firm has launched an investment fund for MakerDAO token, which is signaling increased interest among institutional players.

Issues outside of Sky's direct influence have also been making waves. For instance, multiple market makers, including Gotbit, have been charged by the DOJ and SEC with market manipulation. Despite these broad market concerns, Sky, previously MakerDAO, continues to carve its path in the competitive DeFi and cryptocurrency territory.
