Elsewhere, Solana (SOL) appears to be recovering after Maple Finance resumed operations on its network. Meanwhile, Borroe (ROE) early presale investors are already in green.
Uniswap spot volume rising • Uniswap is popular and is among several projects that are setting the pace in decentralized finance (defi). • UNI prices have been under pressure, especially in the second half of August 2023. Since Aug. 17, prices are down by over 27%. • Even so, the platform’s spot volume exceeded Coinbase’s at some point, suggesting that many investors prefer the decentralized exchange (DEX).
In an Aug. 25 report by Bitwise, Uniswap processed around $110 billion in trades in Q2 2023 compared to Coinbase’s $90 billion.
