UNI launch pushes ETH miner fees high

On Friday, UNI lost 25 percent of its value but at the time of writing, UNI has shown a tiny rise, trading at $6.8642 against USDT. Binance added UNI two days ago.

The UNI launch provoked a high surge in ETH miner fees, causing approximately $1 mln in fees to be spent just within an hour.

That was partly due to the fact that Uniswap announced a giveaway of 400 UNI to each trader who had been using Uniswap since September 1.

The announcement was made earlier this week and 400 UNI was worth around $1,500 at some point, which was slightly more than one stimulus check granted to US citizens after the lockdown was lifted.
