Uniswap, a popular ETH-based DeFi token, has seen remarkable growth over the past week, reaching an all-time high of $34. Remarkable growth for a token hovering between the low 20s for quite some time.
As of writing, Uniswap token’s price is $34.28. With a growth of 13.79% past 24 hours, Uniswap rode into the list of top 10 cryptos. It’s market cap rose from $8.8 Billion to about $18 Billion and popular exchange Messari ranked the token 3rd position overtaking Chainlink.
UNI’s entrance into the top 10 is coupled with the consecutive trade volume records set by the token on the exchange. In February, Uniswap had four consecutive trading volume records with an all-time high at $31.9 Billion.
