Crypto exchange Bitfinex is the latest major cryptocurrency exchange to list $UNI, the governance token that powers decentralized exchange Uniswap.
Bitifnex today opened trading of pairings for UNI/USD and UNI/USDT (that's Tether, the US dollar-pegged stablecoin). Deposits, trading and withdrawals are all open. Bitfinex follows Coinbase Pro, OKEx and Binance, major cryptocurrency exchanges that have also listed the token.
$UNI, which launched on Wednesday, traded for $3.21 on Thursday. Its value has since doubled; as of this writing, it is worth $6.56, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap.
$UNI is a governance token, meaning that holders can stake it to vote on proposals to upgrade the network. High-rollers can propose their own upgrades.
Those who provide liquidity to the network earn the token as an extra reward. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange that relies on a liquidity pool to facilitate trades. A liquidity pool is a bunch of money that Uniswap's customers can draw on to swap tokens.
Uniswap's $UNI token matches the offering of SushiSwap, a Uniswap clone that last month added the same governance token distribution mechanism for its token, $SUSHI.
Uniswap is back on top in the world of DeFi. The immensely popular Ethereum-based decentralized exchange, which has shown tremendous growth in trading volume in recent months, has seen a huge boost in the amount of money flowing onto its platform after just launching its own governance token, UNI. Prior, up-and-coming decentralized finance protocols such as Aave and Curve Finance had unseated it from the top of the “total value locked” charts on DeFi Pulse, a metrics site that tracks the industr...
SushiSwap, which today has $487 million locked up in its smart contracts, had been eating up Uniswap's business. After launching $UNI, Uniswap is the DeFi smart contract with the most value locked up in its smart contracts—$1.85 billion, according to data from metrics site DeFi Pulse.

Ukraine may be planning a strategic state crypto reserve, according to reports by local media. If it follows through, it would potentially join nations like El Salvador, Bhutan, and the U.S.—who all already have reserves. Yaroslav Zhelezniak, the country’s first deputy chairman of its Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, told local crypto publication Incrypted that he plans to submit a new bill for approval “in the near future,” claiming the bill is in the finalization stage.

A growing number of companies are launching Solana tokens as a way to circumvent traditional fundraising methods. Tokens linked to these companies are hitting market capitalizations in the millions or even tens of millions—despite growing concern that many of their products are “vaporware.” “Internet capital markets is itself a powerful meme, and it’s among the most significant and OG meta-narratives and use cases for crypto,” Alon Cohen, co-founder of Pump.fun, told Decrypt. “In principle, it r...
