The DEX left its competitors to bite the dust as the protocol’s revenue between October 22 and 28 climbed to approximately $23.15 million, while PancakeSwap, Curve and Balancer made $484,900, $385,000 and $122,300 respectively, according to a post by Wu Blockchain on X (formerly Twitter), posted on October 29. Bullish developments in the Uniswap ecosystem are supportive of UNI price recovery.
UNI price holds steady above $4.13
In the past six days, the Uniswap Foundation deposited a total of 9.8 million UNI tokens, worth $41.8 million to cryptocurrency exchange platforms Kraken, FalconX and OKX, according to data from on-chain tracker Spot on Chain. These deposits increased UNI reserves across exchanges, however the asset’s price sustained above the $4.13 level on Binance, at the time of writing.
Despite mass UNI inflow to exchanges, price declined by 1.92% over the period. With two recent developments in the Uniswap ecosystem discussed above, a recovery in the asset is likely. UNI is exchanging hands at $4.13, down 0.5% on the day.
