Maker (MKR) Perpetual Futures — Live Data

Market Overview

Maker is the protocol behind DAI, one of the largest decentralized stablecoins. MKR perpetual futures are available on major centralized exchanges. MKR perps tend to see volume spikes around governance decisions, stability fee changes, and collateral onboarding events that affect the DAI ecosystem.

MKR Perps Data — DeFi Category

This page presents perpetual futures analytics for DeFi protocol tokens, covering trading volume, open interest, funding rates, and liquidation data across major exchanges. DeFi perp data is particularly valuable when cross-referenced with on-chain TVL metrics — tokens with rising open interest but declining TVL often face mean-reversion pressure. Funding rate divergences between DeFi governance tokens can signal which protocols are attracting speculative positioning ahead of governance votes or fee-switch proposals. Volume spikes in DeFi perps frequently coincide with yield farming rotations and liquidity mining events.

Trading Tips for Maker Perps

MKR is one of the few DeFi tokens with real revenue (from stability fees). Track DAI supply growth and Maker protocol revenue as fundamental indicators. MKR has a lower token supply than most DeFi tokens, so moves tend to be amplified.
