Despite being a DeFi token, Uniswap[1] has managed to beat some major traditional crypto assets. However, the credit for this goes to those who have managed to make the best use of Uniswap’s decentralized governance system to benefit everyone.
Uniswap and its investors
Most of the market is displaying mixed signals with Bitcoin standing in red and Ethereum in green. However, with minimal advances, Uniswap has managed to chart 5.24% gains in the last 72 hours, while maintaining $15.6 as critical support.

This kind of bullishness is observed to be coming from investors as that has enabled UNI to make major records this week.
Firstly, the network saw record-high volumes in 24 hours of $4.8 billion, and this also led to Uniswap V3 marking an all-time high weekly volume of more than $21 billion. Consequently, the network generated more ETH/USD than even Coinbase could, this week.
These record-breaking volumes are also verified by the rising velocity of UNI this week, which shows that it’s changing hands more frequently thanks to increased transactions.
