Uniswap

Uniswap, a decentralized exchange (DEX), has outpaced Coinbase, one of the largest U.S. crypto exchanges, in spot trading volume throughout 2023. 
Data compiled by Bitwise crypto asset manager researcher Ryan Rasmussen reveals that Uniswap processed approximately $110 billion worth of trades in Q2 2023, surpassing <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/education/best-crypto-exchange/#2-coinbase-best-us-crypto-exchange-for-beginners">Coinbase</a>‘s roughly $90 billion. 
Notably, this wasn’t a one-off event; <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/exchange/uniswap_v3">Uniswap</a> first exceeded Coinbase’s quarterly spot volume in Q1 2023, processing around $155 billion against Coinbase’s $145 billion.

The bear market of 2022 had a profound impact on centralized crypto firms, leading to substantial losses. However, it appears that decentralized protocols like Uniswap have demonstrated remarkable resilience during this period. 
Despite a 10% decrease in the <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/uniswap">UNI</a> token value in 2023, Uniswap’s trade volume has seen an overall increase. This performance comes as Uniswap continues its efforts to expand market share with innovative product offerings.

In June, Uniswap unveiled the code for its latest version, v4, which promises features such as limit orders, automated fee revenue compounding for liquidity providers, and customizable plugins. Uniswap v4 pools will also function as time-weighted average market makers (TWAMM), facilitating large order execution over time. The launch of v4 is planned to coincide with <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/ethereum">Ethereum</a>’s upcoming major upgrade, Dencun. 
Last month also saw the introduction of UniswapX, Uniswap’s DEX aggregation protocol. It allows third-party market makers to compete for order flow by offering the best possible price to traders, providing protection against Maximal Extractable Value. Currently, UniswapX is available in beta to users who opt in.
