Another day, another crypto index bleeding out. The CoinDesk 20 took a hit today—with Uniswap’s UNI leading the nosedive at a brutal 6.8% drop. Guess even decentralized trading isn’t immune to gravity (or Wall Street’s mood swings).

DeFi’s poster child stumbles: UNI’s slump mirrors broader market jitters, proving once again that ’institutional adoption’ is just a fancy term for ’follow the whales.’

Silver lining? At least the traders avoiding Uniswap’s LP fees today are getting a discount on misery.
