Key Points:<ul><li>DeFi on Ethereum gains momentum with rising gas fees, driven by Uniswap’s activities.</li><li>Despite a $5 billion surge in DeFi TVL, Uniswap struggles below $5.6, facing resistance.</li><li>UNI prices up 30%, but bulls grapple to break above November highs.</li></ul>In a dynamic turn of events, the decentralized finance (DeFi) space on Ethereum is experiencing a notable surge, fueled primarily by the intriguing trajectory of gas fees throughout the first three weeks of November, as unveiled by analytics from <a href="https://research.kaiko.com/insights/defi-activity-is-picking-up" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kaiko</a>. Despite this DeFi revival, Uniswap (UNI), a leading player in the space, finds itself ensnared below the $5.6 mark, grappling with resistance that has thwarted attempts to break into new highs for 2023.<h2 id="header-0">Ethereum Gas Fees Surge, Courtesy of Uniswap’s Influence</h2>Kaiko’s blockchain analytics platform sheds light on a significant surge in average gas fees on Ethereum, reaching multi-month highs in the previous week. Uniswap emerges as a central figure in this narrative, with its activities, particularly in meme coins like GROK, driving transaction volumes and subsequently escalating the demand for block space, resulting in heightened gas fees.While gas fees exhibit volatility, a prevailing upward trend has been witnessed in the first three weeks of November. Data from <a href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/ethereum_average_gas_price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ycharts</a> indicates that the average transaction cost surged to 45.13 Gwei as of November 20, marking an almost 100% increase from November 19. This considerable jump from 24.84 Gwei suggests a substantial shift from the late October figure of 17.66 Gwei.The correlation between gas fees and the reaction of <a href="https://cryptosnewss.com/navigating-ethereums-path-cryptonarys-insight-on-2120-resistance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> (ETH) and DeFi token prices is evident. As DeFi activities, along with non-fungible token (NFT) minting and trading, gain momentum, gas fees tend to expand in sync with trending markets. The recent surge in gas fees hints at a potential market upswing, potentially benefiting critical protocols such as Uniswap and Aave.<h2 id="header-1">DeFi TVL Surges, Uniswap Struggles Below $5.6</h2>As of the latest update, the total value locked (TVL) across all DeFi protocols has surpassed $46.6 billion as of November 21, as reported by <a href="https://defillama.com/chain/Ethereum" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFiLlama</a>. This marks a noteworthy increase of nearly $5 billion since early November and a substantial uptick from the mid-October figure of $37 billion.Despite the challenges posed by gas fees associated with Ethereum’s mainnet scaling, the platform continues to be the preferred choice for deploying DeFi applications. Ethereum boasts a TVL of $25.4 billion, with Uniswap securing its position as one of the largest protocols with a TVL of $3.216 billion._______________________________________________________________________________________Stay connected with us on <a href="https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMLrrowwwzOOyBA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google News</a>, <a href="https://t.me/cryptosnewsss" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/NewssCryptos" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id&#61;100089949049302" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook</a> to stay updated on the latest developments and engaging discussions in the realm of CryptosNewss.Disclaimer: Please note that the viewpoints and perspectives expressed by the author, as well as any individuals referenced in this article, are intended solely for informational purposes.
