What are the risks of holding MKR?
Cryptocurrencies including MKR are highly volatile: prices can move sharply in either direction within hours, and past performance is not a guide to future returns. MKR is currently trading 67.83% below its all-time high of $6,302.63, reached on May 03, 2021.
A meaningful share of MKR's reported trading volume comes from lower-trust exchanges, so headline volume figures may overstate real, organic demand. This is not investment advice.

How to buy Maker (MKR)
- Pick a liquid market. Binance US currently reports the highest MKR volume among tracked exchanges (~$584.66K in 24h); compare order books on a couple of venues before committing funds.
- Check the Trust Score. Review Maker's Trust Score, where available, to gauge how much of that volume looks organic before sizing a position.
- Place the order. Fund the account, choose a market or limit order, and confirm the trading pair matches the MKR you intend to buy.
- Self-custody if holding. For anything beyond short-term trading, withdraw MKR to a wallet you control rather than leaving it on the exchange.
Maker FAQ
Maker (MKR) is priced at $2,021.11 as of Oct 05, 2026, with a market cap of $169.82M and a rank of #211 among tracked cryptocurrencies. Over the past 24 hours the price has moved -8.45%, on reported volume of $895.06K.
Maker's Trust Score is 40/100 (grade D, "Weak"), based on 2 of 5 planned signals CoinPaprika currently computes: liquidity and volume authenticity. Individually, liquidity scores 55/100 and volume authenticity scores 25/100. This composite reflects market structure rather than a guarantee of project safety, and updates as exchange conditions change.
MKR trades on 48 markets tracked by CoinPaprika. The highest-volume venues are Binance US ($584.66K 24h volume), Uniswap V4 (Ethereum) ($463.04K 24h volume), and Uniswap V2 (Ethereum) ($158.30K 24h volume). Compare fees, available pairs, and each exchange's Trust Score before choosing where to buy.
MKR's all-time high is $6,302.63, reached on May 03, 2021, and its current price of $2,021.11 sits 67.83% below that peak. CoinPaprika does not publish an all-time low for comparison, so the all-time high remains the clearest long-term price benchmark available for MKR.
MKR's circulating supply is estimated at 84.03K MKR, derived by dividing its $169.82M market cap by its $2,021.11 price. CoinPaprika does not publish a directly-reported circulating supply figure for every coin, so this is a calculated estimate, not an on-chain count.
CoinPaprika scores MKR's reported volume authenticity at 25/100, a volume-weighted average of each exchange's trust rating (high, medium, or low) across every market reporting a MKR price. A meaningful share of that volume comes from lower-trust exchanges, so treat headline volume figures with caution. This is one of 5 planned Trust Score signals and updates as exchange trust ratings change.
