Uniswap (UNI) Surges 3.8% as CoinDesk 20 Index Climbs – DeFi Flexes Its Muscles

DeFi's favorite liquidity protocol just gave traders a reason to smile. Uniswap (UNI) led the charge with a 3.8% rally, pushing the CoinDesk 20 Index into the green—proving once again that decentralized exchanges won’t be sidelined.

The UNI Effect: More Than Just a Token Bump

While traditional finance grapples with paperwork and middlemen, UNI’s gains highlight DeFi’s relentless momentum. No bankers, no delays—just code doing its job a little too well.

Index Inches Up, But Who’s Counting?

The broader CoinDesk 20 mirrored UNI’s optimism, edging higher in a market where ‘slow and steady’ is usually code for ‘boring.’ Not today. Even crypto’s blue chips caught the updraft—because when DeFi sneezes, the whole space catches a cold (or a rally).

Cynical Take:
Wall Street’s still trying to tokenize real estate while DeFi turns 3.8% gains into a slow Tuesday. Priorities, people.

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.
