Uniswap (UNI) Surges 3.8%: CoinDesk 20 Index Climbs as DeFi Outperforms

DeFi's favorite liquidity protocol flexes its muscles—while TradFi bankers scramble to explain why they 'don’t get it.'

Uniswap leads the charge

UNI’s 3.8% gain isn’t just a green candle—it’s a middle finger to centralized exchanges clinging to their 0.1% fee models. The CoinDesk 20 Index edged higher, proving (again) that automated market makers run circles around legacy systems.

Who needs Wall Street?

While hedge funds debate 'crypto exposure' in boardrooms, Uniswap’s volume silently eats their lunch. No brokers. No spreads. Just code that actually works—and pays yield to users instead of shareholders.

Another day, another ATH for DeFi adoption. Meanwhile, your bank still charges $25 for wire transfers.

Leaders: UNI (+3.8%) and AAVE (+2.5%).

Laggards: APT (-0.9%) and XRP (-0.1%).

The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index traded on multiple platforms in several regions globally.
