Uniswap Soars as Unichain Takes the Lead
Uniswap experiences a 17% spike in value, coinciding with Bitcoin's recovery at $100,000, while Unichain's growth momentum intensifies.
In a swift turn of events, Uniswap's native token skyrocketed by a whopping 17%, breaking the two-week record, thanks to the crypto market explosion on May 8. With Bitcoin storming past the $100,000 threshold, Uniswap towered above $5.50, fueling a frenzy of trading activity.
Against the backdrop of escalating market bullishness, Uniswap's gains reveal no signs of slowing down. The exchange saw a staggering 70% increase in its daily volume, amounting to over $214 million in the last 24 hours.
However, analysts at market intelligence platform Santiment warn that Bitcoin's rally could be a double-edged sword. They anticipate retail FOMO leading to additional fuel for this rally, but caution that escalating calls for 'higher' or 'above' crypto prices might put a brake on the rally.
While Uniswap's gain mirrors the broader market's upward trend, fostering bullish sentiments, there are additional factors at play. The recent Ethereum Pectra upgrade is one such factor. Pectra, Ethereum's first major update since Dencun in March 2024, boasts several improvements to the network. It enhances user experience through smart accounts and delegation, upgrades staking mechanics, and streamlines layer 2 integration.
Unichain, the go-to platform for the Uniswap community, is another key driving force behind Uniswap's success. On May 7, the Uniswap team announced that Pectra's activation ensures all 7,702 smart wallets on the Uniswap network are now fully compatible with the Uniswap web app.
Unichain's surge has earned it a top spot in the decentralized exchange ecosystem. According to DeFiLlama data, Unichain's weekly volume stands at an impressive $1.99 billion, outpacing major competitors like Ethereum, Solana, and Base. In the past 24 hours, Unichain's volume skyrocketed to over $354 million, accounting for the majority of Uniswap V4's daily volume.
As Unichain ascends in terms of user accounts and total transactions, Uniswap itself is experiencing a meaningful shift. The total value locked on Uniswap is near $4.27 billion. The burgeoning partnership between Uniswap and Unichain bodes well for the future, hinting at further price surges.
