Uniswap hits a historic $2 trillion in trading volume
Uniswap Labs announced trading volume for its protocol has surpassed $2 trillion. The most popular decentralized exchange, or DEX, in terms of trading volume, has continued to be one of Ethereum’s most dominant DeFi applications since being founded in 2018.
In a post to the social media platform X, Uniswap UNI -3.92% Labs announced that the cumulative trading volume transacted using its protocol had hit the historic mark. Since its founding in 2018, Uniswap has been one of the most used DeFi applications on the Ethereum ETH -2.82% blockchain and the leading decentralized exchange, or DEX, by trading volume.
Uniswap Labs also posted a link to a Dune Dashboard that tracks the protocol's all-time trading volume. In the last 24 hours, Uniswap trading volume was nearly $2.9 billion, according to the dashboard.

Unlike profit-driven, centralized exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken and Binance, Uniswap is a decentralized exchange, and its protocol is open source. Coinbase and Binance, both centralized exchanges, currently handle trading volumes significantly higher than Uniswap, according to The Block Data Dashboard .
In February, the Uniswap Foundation, which promotes the use of the Uniswap protocol, proposed governance changes that included augmenting the fee mechanism to reward users who delegated and staked their UNI tokens on the platform.

The Capital Trends Behind the AI Computing Power Rebound: JPMorgan Fund Flows Reveal Retail Buy-In "Shrinking," Pouring Into Nvidia, SanDisk and Other Computing Power Core Companies
What has been revealed is not a "complete withdrawal of retail investors from AI," but rather a significant slowdown in overall market entry pace under macroeconomic pressure, with stock selections becoming more concentrated. In response to the Federal Reserve's unanimous decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, increasing the policy rate to 3.75%–4.00%, JPMorgan's assessment is: if this is simply a withdrawal of last year's "insurance-style rate cuts" during a shallow rate hike cycle—and if corporate earnings remain strong and the Middle East situation does not further spiral out of control—the stock market is still capable of absorbing rising interest rates.
Vote Result 7-2! Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates at Fastest Pace Since 1990, Does Not Signal a Clearly More Hawkish Stance
The Bank of Japan has raised interest rates to 1.25%, marking the highest level since 1995 and the sixth increase since exiting the negative interest rate policy in March 2024. Out of the nine committee members, Asada and Sato voted against the hike, citing the current economic situation, reflecting ongoing internal disagreements over further tightening. In its statement, the Bank of Japan indicated it will continue to raise rates and adjust the degree of monetary easing, but the forward guidance language showed limited changes from the July statement, without sending notably more hawkish signals.
