<p>According to the Sky Protocol team, holders of DAI and MKR will be able to swap these tokens for USDS and SKY. MKR will be swapped for the upgraded version SKY at the ratio of 1:24,000, meaning 1 MKR will convert to 24,000 SKY.</p>

<p>Sky will also allow for swapping of Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>), USDC (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/usd-coin/">USDC</a>) and Tether (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/tether/">USDT</a>) into the new stablecoin USDS.</p> 
<p>Maker’s price rose slightly following the announcement, breaking above $2,165. The 24-hour trading volume also increased, up 139% at the time of writing to over $151 million.</p>
