ARB price is currently trading at $1.25, gaining 0.76% on the day. Meanwhile, most cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, were moving sideways.
MakerDAO starts collecting MKR again
The MakerDAO repurchase kicked off today, with an average of approximately $5,000 in MKR repurchases every 27 minutes. This bot will collect over $100M of MKR from the market and add it to Uniswap V2. It is currently raising $5,000 worth of MKR from a market in about 27 minutes.
This app launched on July 17 with a proposal voted on by the MakerDAO community. The purchasing engine, named Smart Burn Engine, will start collecting MKR from the market as of today. The difference between the smart burn engine and its previous design is that MKR tokens will be accumulated in the form of Uniswap V2 LP tokens instead of being bought and burned.
