Augur’s price improvement is quite relieving for the traders as it registered a 21% hike over the last week. This is a strong indication that the upcoming period for the REP coin would bring new heights in terms of price.
According to the latest updates from Augur, its v2 will enable manual migration from Augur v1 REP tokens. If one wants to participate in the Augur v2 universe, they will need REP v2.
Also, there isn’t any immediate requirement for migrating from REP v1 to REP v2 upon deployment.
