Decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap today became the first decentralized trading platform to process over $100 billion in cumulative volume. The exchange, which launched last May, has racked up on average $11.1 billion in trading volume every month.
Uniswap allows users to swap ECR20 tokens. ERC20 tokens run on the Ethereum blockchain and are super popular in the crypto world because decentralized finance projects—which are mostly built on Ethereum—are attracting more attention from investors than ever before.
The DEX’s creator, Hayden Adams, shared the news on Twitter where he described it as “an exciting milestone for DeFi.”

Uniswap exploded with popularity during the Decentralized Finance explosion of 2020. Since then, its native token UNI has landed in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. UNI is a governance token, meaning those who hold it can take part in determining how the protocol is run.
UNI’s market cap is currently $6.3 billion.
People are obviously using the Uniswap exchange like crazy. The DEX has over $3.9 billion locked into its smart contracts. Today’s milestone shows that it is processing more transactions than ever before.
While most of the market stagnates, a couple of coins managed to drag themselves from the bog on Sunday and, ascending skyward, reached crypto heaven. Uniswap’s cryptocurrency today hit new highs of $20 in the early hours of the morning and XRP, the currency currently under siege from a lawsuit the US Securities and Exchange Commission slapped against Ripple Labs, absolved its sins in the eyes of the market and is up 50% today, continuing a 75% increase in the last week. Meanwhile, aside from a...
Why? More and more projects are being built on Ethereum and therefore more ERC20 tokens (tokens that run on the Ethereum blockchain) are being produced.
In fact, many are now in the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap—meaning more people will want to deal with them to make money.
Swapping them couldn’t be easier with Uniswap. The exchange has an easy-to-use interface and anyone can sign up. There are no background checks or know your customer (KYC) protocols like, say, with Coinbase.
This all contributes to the DEX’s monster trading volume.
Go Uniswap.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that the crypto exchange considered putting 80% of its balance sheet into Bitcoin—but decided against it over fears it could "kill the company." During a question-and-answer session with customers, executives were asked whether they missed an opportunity to start amassing BTC sooner, given the company had an eight-year headstart on software firm Strategy. We’re live with @brian_armstrong, @GregTusar, and Alesia Haas answering community questions followi...
BitGo has secured regulatory approval from Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, BaFin, enabling the U.S. crypto custody provider to expand its services across the European Union's member countries.

Publicly-listed Beat Holdings Ltd. said Thursday it will boost its investment in Bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds, becoming the latest Tokyo-listed firm to deepen exposure to digital assets amid renewed institutional interest in crypto.

It has already purchased 131,230 units of BlackRock’s iSha...
