- Uniswap hits over $3 trillion in total trading volume, setting a new record for any DEX.
- UNI token struggles despite high trading volume, currently down over 80% from its peak.
- EIP-7702 integration enhances security, enabling smoother one-click swaps for Uniswap users.
Uniswap established a new mark, with more than $3 trillion worth of trading volume on decentralized exchanges, making it the first DEX to pass this threshold. Uniswap’s founder, Hayden Adams, celebrated this milestone on May 12 with a Dune Analytics chart depicting the platform’s growth.
According to Dune Analytics, Uniswap has a daily trading volume of $3.3 billion, ranking it at the top of the decentralized exchanges. According to DeFiLlama, Uniswap dominates the 24-hour trading volume with 23.12%, followed by PancakeSwap at 20.95% and $2.7 billion in daily volume activity.
Besides its large amount of trading volume, Uniswap has a TVL of over $5 billion. It remains a significant drop from Uniswap’s all-time high TVL, which exceeded $10 billion in 2021. This notable decline reflects the general slowdown of DeFi, backed by DeFillama’s data, which reveals a TVL of $124 billion.

Although Uniswap has impressive volume results, its native token, UNI, struggles. As of press time, UNI is trading at $7.08, down by 84% from its historical high of $45. The token’s sluggish performance contrasts with the platform’s ongoing development, indicating broader crypto market changes.
Uniswap EIP-7702 Integration
Apart from its current functionality, Adams has also announced the integration of Ethereum’s EIP-7702. This EIP was enabled during the Pectra upgrade on 7 May and aims to protect Ethereum accounts against quantum computing threats. Even during transactions, it allows the use of an externally owned account as a temporary smart contract.
The integration of EIP-7702 into Uniswap will make one-click swaps smoother for users. Trust Wallet has already implemented these functionalities, and Uniswap’s following suit will increase user usability. Such advancements are viewed as a mechanism to maintain Uniswap’s leading position in decentralized finance.
Uniswap’s dominance in the DEX market is supported by continuous updates and a huge market impact. The platform’s ability to evolve due to market changes keeps it a leader in the sphere of DeFi.
