The Maker (MKR) governance token of DeFi lender MakerDAO saw a 10% increase in value on Thursday, despite the broader cryptocurrency market experiencing a 3.5% decline. MakerDAO's profitability has improved due to the platform's recent overhaul, which includes investing stablecoin reserves in real-world assets and lending to banks for higher yields. The platform's profits are being used to benefit MKR holders through a token buyback scheme. The Maker-adjacent lending platform Spark has also experienced growth, nearing an all-time high of $700 million in total value locked.
