$UNI, the governance token of decentralized exchange Uniswap, fell by 30% overnight from its all-time high of $7.37 to its current price, $5.13. Trading volume for the coin also collapsed, from yesterday's daily average of $6 billion to $2.2 billion today. But while its token falls in price, business on Uniswap is better than ever.
The coin, which launched on Wednesday, is the latest high-profile governance coin minted by a decentralized finance protocol (other include Compound's $COMP and yearn.finance's $YFI). Uniswap is an automated market maker, meaning it facilitates token swaps. To swap, say, ETH for UNI, one can draw upon the reserves of the pairing provided by other users.
$UNI soared in price shortly after launching, from $1 on Thursday to its peak of $7.37 on Saturday. Major exchanges, among them Coinbase, Binance and Bitfinex, listed the token. But $UNI's pump wasn't to last—though, just four days into trading, no conclusions can be drawn about the coin's fate.
The coin is a riposte to SushiSwap, a clone of Uniswap that launched its own governance token, $SUSHI. Like $UNI, $SUSHI is earned from using the protocol. SushiSwap took business away from Uniswap, so Uniswap minted its own governance token.
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...
So far, the plan has worked. On September 17, the day after launch day, customers had locked in $748 million worth of cryptocurrency in Uniswap's smart contract, according to DeFi Pulse. Now, $1.93 billion is locked up in its smart contracts. Meanwhile, the amount of crypto locked in SushiSwap has declined, from a peak of $1.42 billion on September 12 to $516 million today.

Meme coins are down bad. Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 60% from its 2024 high, Pepe (PEPE) has dropped 73% from its all-time high, and Dogwifhat (WIF) has plummeted 88% from its peak. Not only that but the trenches are drying up too. Popular launchpad and cultural hub Pump.fun launched 64.6% less tokens on Wednesday than it did during its high achieved in January. Alongside this, according to Dune data, the weekly graduation rate of tokens is the lowest it's been since July 2024—a token graduates when...
Comedian William Banks went viral after posting a video of what he claims showed him escaping prison on social media, shortly before he went on a spree of “rug pulling” Solana meme coins. Banks told Decrypt his goal was to be a Robinhood-like “hero” and donate $50,000 of the proceeds to charities supporting those suffering in Palestine following Israel's attacks on Gaza—sharing purported receipts of these payments on X. In October, the comedian was charged and arrested in Westport, Connecticut...
