The DeFi craze propelled Uniswap with $ 15.3 billion, thus beating Coinbase
Data provided by Dune Analytics show that the DeFi powered Uniswap. During the month of September, the decentralized exchange, Uniswap, processed $ 15.371 billion in volume. In the same period, reports indicate that Coinbase processed $ 13.6 billion.
The significant increase in Uniswap’s volume can be attributed to two main factors. First, the explosive growth of the DeFi ecosystem and the yield farming of governance tokens made decentralized exchanges prosper. Second, the launch of Uniswap’s governance token, UNI, caused quite a stir on the platform.
June ushered in the ‘craze’ for DeFi governance tokens, with Compound’s COMP token kicking off the phenomenon. The process is relatively straightforward: DeFi users ‘farm’ new governance tokens by staking various cryptocurrencies, such as Ether (ETH).
In this sense, data confirm that the DeFi promoted Uniswap. First outperforming Coinbase Pro in daily volume on August 30. Since then, it has maintained a high level of competitiveness with the main US exchange. In late August, Uniswap creator Hayden Adams said:
“Wow, Uniswap’s 24-hour trading volume is higher than Coinbase for the first time ever. Uniswap: $ 426 million, Coinbase: $ 348 million. It’s hard to express how crazy this is.
