In addition to the launch, Uniswap will give away $5 million in USDC to early Genie aggregator users. Furthermore, the first 22,000 NFT customers on Uniswap will have their gas fee refunded.
The official launch of NFT trading on Uniswap comes at a time when the DeFi segment is booming. In terms of Ethereum (ETH) trading volume, Uniswap ranks second behind Binance and often outperforms Coinbase. More recently, the decentralized marketplace almost beat the black-and-yellow giant, when the gap in daily volume was only $110 million.
