How to buy Maker
MKR
The Maker Protocol is one of the largest dapps on the Ethereum blockchain, and the first decentralized finance (DeFi) application to see significant adoption. The Maker Protocol is managed by people around the world who hold its governance token, MKR. MKR is an Ethereum token described as a utility token, governance token, and recapitalization resource of the Maker system. The purpose of the Maker system is to generate another Ethereum token, called DAI, that seeks to trade on exchanges at a value of exactly US$1.00. You can buy and sell MKR for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade MKR for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade MKR to CAD based on the MKR price.
