UNI price movement after it overtook Coinbase for ETH trades

Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) are starting to slowly replace Centralized Exchanges (CEXs), as Uniswap (UNI/USD) overtook Coinbase when it came to the ETH/USD trading volume.

UNI is the native cryptocurrency that serves the role of a governance token.

In the latest crypto news, Ethereum (ETH/USD) became more traded on top of Uniswap than on Coinbase.

On November 14, 2022, Uniswap inventor Hayden Adams shared the news on Twitter, citing the analysis conducted by Nansen Chief Executive Officer Alex Svanevik.

In the report, it is clearUniswap had more volume than Coinbase.

At the time, Hayden Adams reported Binance was the leader, at $1.9 billion in volume, with Uniswap second with $1.1 billion and Coinbase third with $0.6 billion.

The FTX implosion and overall collapse have shifted traders’ perspectives and motivated them to move to decentralized alternatives.
