Uniswap became the top DeFi protocol after it launched its governance token known as UNI. Uniswap’s native token gained a great deal of popularity in the community within no time after its launch. Various major digital currency exchanges in the cryptocurrency sector such as Binance, Coinbase, etc, listed UNI token immediately on their trading platforms.
Due to UNI, Uniswap was able to become one of the most valuable projects in the decentralized finance sector. Moreover, UNI’s popularity fueled the ongoing boom of the DeFi market and it witnessed a significant increase in the institutional interest after that.
