The newborn token that now allows the Ethereum-based decentralized exchange Uniswap to be community run has spiked by more than 20% in the last 24 hours. It’s now trading for roughly $5 per token. Meanwhile, however, the rest of the DeFiDeFi market isn’t faring so well—and the same goes for the broader cryptocrypto market, too.
The birth of UNI was bombastic. Two days of hype pushed the token from just $0.30 at launch to $6.90 the next day. Since then, trading on UNI has cooled, and the price dropped all the way down to $3.90 yesterday. Something changed overnight, however, and Uniswap fans have seemingly grown tired of seeing UNI in the red.
Uniswap’s token currently ranks 36th among all cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, which today rebounded to $614 million. That’s enough for sixth among so-called DeFi tokenstokens, according to CoinGecko.
Studying charts won’t get you very far with UNI. It is still only a week old after all. The token is still only finding its way within the crypto market, and there are no past trends to reference to make any future predictions on its price.
For UNI, it all seemingly comes down to market sentiment at the moment. Though, curiously, as hot as the DeFi market has been in 2020, most tokens associated with decentralized financedecentralized finance are down today. In fact, some of the biggest tokens in the DeFi space are down a lot within the past week.
It didn’t even exist 48 hours ago, but Uniswap’s governance token is already the fourth-most-traded token on cryptocurrency exchanges. According to data from CoinGecko, 24-hour trading volume for UNI stands at $4.7 billion, behind only Tether ($38.9 billion), Bitcoin ($20.7 billion), and Ethereum ($12.7 billion). That means that Uniswap isn’t just setting the pace among DeFi platforms, but that it’s running with the established players in all of crypto, at least for now. UNI is decentralized exc...
Chainlink, for example, is down 24% over the last seven days. Yearn.finance’s YFI has lost 30% to its price, now trading for $25,000 per token. DeFi lending protocol Aave’s token LEND is likewise down 16%, while UMA, the seventh-most capitalized DeFi coin, is down a whopping 37% in the last week.
Of course, the same basically holds true for the entire market. Crypto took a $22 billion hit on Monday as Bitcoin’s price fell close to 5%, settling around $10,400. Traditional markets likewise have felt the pain, with the Dow falling 800 points. Neither crypto nor stocks have yet fully recovered from that drop.

For a week, at least, spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds outpaced their Bitcoin counterparts. The nine ETFs tracking ETH generated more than $1.8 billion in net inflows this week, continuing a 16-day positive streak, according to U.K. asset manager Farside Investors, as interest in the second-largest cryptocurrency mushrooms. The 12 Bitcoin funds added just $70 million in assets over the same period, with three of the five days showing net outflows for the funds. Bitcoin has historically been o...
After a wild run, XRP has retreated, erasing its gains of last week. The coin was recently trading for $3.09, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko, after hitting a new record of $3.65 last Friday—a more than 15% drop. The decline comes amid a wider market swoon in which most major altcoins have fallen. Solana and Dogecoin were off 1.3% and 2.2% over the past 24 hours. Arca Director of Research Katie Talati told Decrypt that macroeconomic factors and general crypto market exhaustion ar...
Institutional crypto firm Galaxy said Friday that it had sold more than 80,000 Bitcoin—over $9.3 billion worth at the current price—for a Satoshi-era investor. In a Friday statement, Galaxy said "it was one of the largest notional Bitcoin transactions in the history of crypto on behalf of a client." The firm further described the sale as "one of the earliest and most significant exits from the digital asset market." A mysterious Bitcoin whale woke up at the start of this month, moving 80,000 BTC...
